Twilio phone agent with AssemblyAI Universal-3 Pro Streaming
Blog post from AssemblyAI
The text outlines the process of building an AI phone agent capable of handling live calls by integrating Twilio Voice with Media Streams and AssemblyAI's Universal-3 Pro Streaming model for real-time speech-to-text conversion. This setup leverages Twilio's 8kHz μ-law audio streaming, which AssemblyAI's model can process without the need for audio resampling or format conversion. The architecture involves using Twilio Voice to handle incoming calls and sending audio via WebSockets to a server that processes the audio with AssemblyAI for transcription, incorporating OpenAI's GPT-4 for further interaction. Additionally, prerequisites such as Python 3.11, API keys for AssemblyAI, Twilio, OpenAI, and ElevenLabs, and tools like ngrok are necessary for development. The text also provides guidance on configuring Twilio and extending the agent with features like post-call transcription and key term prompting, with deployment options available through platforms like Railway or Render.
