Workshop 4: Give Your Product a Voice — Build a Live AI Voice Agent in 60 Minutes
Everyone's talking about voice AI. In this room, you'll actually ship one. Roshan and Barbara will get you from a blank screen to a working, talking AI agent that can hold a real phone conversation, before the coffee break ends. You'll design its personality, wire up its brain (LLM), give it ears and a mouth (speech-to-text and text-to-speech), and connect it to a real tool so it does more than chat, it acts. Bring a laptop and an idea. Leave with a deployed agent, a live phone number, and the know-how to build the next one yourself. What you'll walk away with: • A working voice agent you built yourself, live • A mental model for the voice AI stack (STT → LLM → TTS → tools) and where the real engineering challenges hide (latency, interruption handling, tool-calling reliability) • The gap between a slick demo and something that survives a real caller — the practical lessons Vapi's forward-deployed engineers see across production deployments Best for: builders, PMs, and founders who want to stop reading about voice AI and start shipping it. No ML background required — bring curiosity and a laptop.
