Kwindla Kramer

Sean DuBois of OpenAI and Pion, and Kwindla Hultman Kramer of Daily and Pipecat, will talk about why you have to design realtime AI systems from the network layer up. Most people who build realtime AI apps and frameworks get it wrong. They build from either the model out or the app layer down.

Voice AI Agents are being deployed today in a wide range of business contexts. For example: - handling an increasing variety of call center tasks, - collecting patient data prior to healthcare appointments, - following up on inbound sales leads, - coordinating scheduling and logistics between companies, and - answering the phone for nearly every kind of small business.

The Gemini Live API GA is now powered by Google's best cost-effective thinking model Gemini 2.5 Flash. We will do a deep dive on the capabilities that the Gemini Live API combined with Pipecat unlock for devs with special focus on session management, turn detection, tool use (including async function calls), proactivity, multilinguality and integration with telephony and other infra.

How to build the world's fastest voice AI bot: - Self-host speech-to-text, LLM inference, and text-to-speech all together in the same container/cluster. - Route audio over the internet using WebRTC and edge networking. - Configure timings for voice activity detection, phrase endpointing, and other parts of the pipeline to optimize for latency.
