Transcript

You know AssemblyAI for having the most accurate streaming speech to text out there, but they just went a step further and launched a full voice agent API. The idea is simple. One connection and they handle everything, the listening, the thinking, the speaking. You just stream audio in and get your agent's voice response back. We're talking about things like outbound sales calls that actually qualify leads, customer support that handles complex requests without a script, scheduling agents that sound like a human assistant, and you can build one in five minutes with one API. And importantly, their streaming model is the best at catching all the stuff that breaks on other voice agents, things like phone numbers, emails, names, and medical terms.
