Real-Time AI Voice Agent

A voice agent that answers the phone and holds a natural, low-latency conversation — not a rigid IVR phone tree. I designed and built the full system: the live voice pipeline, the conversation logic, and the tool layer that lets the agent actually do things while it's talking.

What it does

Handles inbound calls end to end with natural, real-time back-and-forth.
Uses tools mid-conversation — looking things up, booking, qualifying — instead of just talking.
Escalates to a human with full context when the situation needs it.
Loads only the capabilities a given call needs, so it stays fast and focused.

How I approached it

The hard part of voice isn't the talking — it's latency, interruptions, and knowing when to act versus when to hand off. I built the system around a responsive real-time loop with a clean, swappable tool layer, so new capabilities can be added without touching the core conversation engine.

Why it matters

Most businesses either miss calls or pay people to answer the same handful of questions all day. A voice agent that sounds natural and can take real action turns the phone line into 24/7 coverage that books, qualifies, and routes on its own.
