Building a Voice AI Agent — Looking for Guidance from This Community
Hi everyone 👋 I’m a restaurant owner and I’m starting to build a voice AI agent to handle incoming phone calls and orders so we stop missing calls during peak hours. I’m not a voice expert — learning this in public. My goals (phase 1): • Answer calls reliably • Understand intent (order, hours, menu, location) • Support multiple languages • Integrate with a basic ordering flow I’d really appreciate advice on: • Tech stack choices (LLMs, STT/TTS, orchestration) • Common mistakes to avoid early • Open-source tools or reference architectures • How you’d approach MVP vs production If you’ve built or deployed voice agents before, I’d love to learn from your experience. Thanks in advance 🙏
