Hey everyone! How are you currently testing your voice agents?

Hey everyone! I’m exploring the challenges teams face in testing and validating conversational/voice AI agents (think telephony bots, inbound/outbound AI calling, virtual assistants). If you have built, operated, or evaluated voice AI/telephony agents: - What tools or platforms do you currently use for automated or manual testing? (e.g., Cekura, in-house scripts, Vapi, something else?) - What has worked well for you? What’s been painful or missing? - Do you care about self-hosting(testing infra) and data sovereignty, or is managed SaaS fine? - Any blockers around compliance, auditability, or integration with CI/CD? - How do you build test scenarios and keep them up to date as your agents evolve? Thanks in advance for your insights!

I’m planning a few LiveKit and Pipecat live sessions over the next weeks, and I’d love to open them up for community contributions. If you’re interested in hosting a session or sharing your expertise, feel free to DM me. Here are some topic ideas to spark inspiration: - Latency optimization: Strategies to achieve sub-600 ms latency - Interruption handling - Industry-specific use cases: Real estate, dental, medical, HVAC, restaurants, hotels, etc. - Integrations with niche software that rarely gets covered: ServiceTitan, FieldEdge, and Housecall Pro for HVAC and home services; Dentrix, Open Dental, and Eaglesoft for dental practices ; Epic, Athenahealth, and Oracle Health for medical practices; Toast, Aloha, and Square for restaurants; Opera PMS, Cloudbeds, and Mews for hotels; Buildium, Propertyware, and Follow Up Boss for real estate and property management. - Telephony provider integrations beyond Twilio: Telnyx, Zadarma, RingCentral, Ringba - Custom PBX integrations - Multilingual implementations: Best voices for specific languages, best transcription models for specific languages and best prompting strategies, deep dives into a single language - Non-technical Voice AI topics: Project management, hiring and evaluating developers, marketing Voice AI products and services, finding clients, content creation, proposal & contract creation, compliance You’re also welcome to use your session to showcase your own product or service, as long as it aligns with the theme of open-source Voice AI.

We are an international group with members across multiple time zones, which makes it challenging to find a time that works for everyone. I’d still like to identify a slot that most of you are likely to attend. Please mark your available times on this calendar. The tool will then suggest the best options. No login is required (but recommended, so you can make changes later): https://community-scheduler.com/#/event/3a8549cf-8c82-40e6-855b-1a2fed0afe20

Hey everyone, Thank you so much for your patience while we got this community ready to launch. It’s finally happening! 🎉 I’ve put together a short video explaining why I started this group and what it’s all about. I’m really excited to meet all of you — passionate, like-minded people working in the voice AI space. Our first meetup is next Friday, and it’ll be all about getting to know each other, hearing about your voice AI projects, and understanding what you’d like to learn on here. In the meantime, let’s start with introductions right here under this post 👇 Please share: - Who you are - What you’re building or working on - What you’d love to learn or explore within this community Can’t wait to see what everyone’s up to!
