I built a physical, touch-screen Desktop Voice Agent using the Pimoroni Presto and ElevenLabs Conversational AI.
Unlike standard smart speakers, this is a custom-engineered solution designed for high-stakes productivity.
- Hardware-Software Synergy: Integrated MicroPython-based IoT hardware with a Node.js backend.
- Agent Orchestration: Configured a "Non-Nonsense" Executive Assistant persona using ElevenLabs' LLM routing (GLM 4.5 & GPT-4o Mini).
- Tool Use (Function Calling): Implemented real-time calendar management via Cal.com and Google Calendar API integration.
- Low-Latency Performance: Optimized voice response times for natural, back-and-forth human-machine interaction.
- Tech Stack: Python, Node.js, ElevenLabs API, Cal.com, Pimoroni Presto (Hardware). https://youtu.be/xKbjJ2QY9Gc
