At Boston Code Camp 40, I presented an in-person session on building real-time voice AI systems, focusing on the shift from traditional speech pipelines to conversational, audio-native architectures. I demonstrated how legacy approaches introduce latency and disrupt natural interaction, and how modern real-time models enable streaming, low-latency, and interruptible conversations that feel more human.
The session also covered how to integrate these voice agents into enterprise environments using tools, workflows, and governed data access to ensure reliability and production readiness. A live demo showcased an end-to-end voice agent capable of real-time reasoning and action, giving attendees a practical blueprint for implementation.
