Voice agents are AI-powered systems that conduct natural, real-time conversations to execute complex tasks, replacing traditional IVR and automating 24/7 service.

A Voice Agent is an intelligent, autonomous system that converses with users using natural speech, not button prompts. The technology stack is a rapid-fire sequence: Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) converts audio to text; a Large Language Model (LLM) interprets intent and context; and Text-to-Speech (TTS) generates a human-like voice response (Source 1). These agents handle complex, multi-step tasks—like scheduling appointments or processing transactions—in near real-time, drastically cutting customer wait times. Businesses deploy them to automate up to 80% of Tier-1 support inquiries, with some reports indicating up to a 40% reduction in operational costs (Source 10 in initial search). The goal is fluid, human-like interaction that scales instantly.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [The Interview That Runs Itself](https://seattle.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_HVXP2AFZt-U)

I built a brand-discovery workshop that runs itself: an ElevenLabs voice agent interviews you about your brand, and while you're still talking, Claude mines the live transcript and pops "nuggets" (quotable insights) onto the screen in real time — then turns each section of the conversation into structured deliverables: a brand voice guide, an ICP profile, and a channel strategy. I used to run this workshop by hand — 90 minutes per client plus waiting on transcripts — so I automated the interviewer out of the room, starting with me. Live, I'll talk to the agent on stage so you can watch insights get captured mid-sentence, walk the two-model architecture on an interactive deck that replays a real session using the app's actual pacing and threshold code, and show the working system deployed at workshop.trymarketingmachine.com.

### [GitClaw](https://paris.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_minZf42tgUo)

GitClaw is a real-time voice AI companion designed to help GitHub maintainers manage repositories more efficiently. Built entirely by Nelson PROIA, GitClaw integrates directly into the GitHub workflow and allows maintainers to interact with their repositories through a natural voice interface. Instead of constantly switching between dashboards, notifications, and pull requests, maintainers can simply speak to GitClaw to review PRs, triage issues, track repository activity, and receive real-time updates. By combining voice interaction with intelligent repository awareness, GitClaw reduces the operational overhead of open-source maintenance and allows maintainers to focus on building, reviewing code, and engaging with their communities.

### [11.ai all the things](https://sf.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_ysgcFSG-7K8)

The introduction of voice assistants and voice agents with MCP unlocks a whole new domain of product possibility. Paired with a user's context and their chat history, agents can integrate more seamlessly into out daily lives. This will be a demonstration of voice MCP for an AI home assistant. With only your voice, it can: - Turn on/off the lights - change the temperature of a thermostat, - provide information about various home-appliances and timers. Anything that can fit in an MCP
