Hello everyone. My name is Umit. I am 64 years old and facing a few health challenges, most notably memory issues. I aim to keep my brain active and slow down their progression by joining AI communities like Open Source Voice AI community. My purpose in joining is not for financial gain at all; the more I focus on learning, the better I feel. Thank you for welcoming me into your community.

We are going to try again to interview Boardy about how it fits in the 5 Layers of Agentic Voice as part of our AMA on Aug 4th at 3:30 pm Eastern time Feel free to register at https://partiful.com/e/sXT0lHxOAk6FimLLhXNg

I didn't write this, and have not tried it. But I thought this something the community might be interested in. https://medium.com/data-science-collective/build-a-real-time-voice-agent-in-30-minutes-with-interruption-handling-fa67a926b5f9

New article The Five Layers of Agentic Voice Every Industry Eventually Needs a Common Architecture. The early personal computer industry evolved from a collection of proprietary systems into an ecosystem built around common hardware architectures and operating system standards. Cloud computing eventually developed reference architectures that enabled consistent enterprise deployments. Cybersecurity evolved beyond individual security products into layered defense models. Enterprise networking adopted the OSI Model as a common way to describe how complex systems interact, regardless of the vendors involved. As emerging technologies mature, they inevitably develop common frameworks that help customers, vendors, and practitioners speak the same language. https://www.tmcnet.com/voip/news/articles/463877-five-layers-agentic-voice.htm

Is everyone ready for the new EU regulations going into effect on 2 Aug? The EU AI Act's transparency requirements mandate that providers and deployers of AI systems clearly disclose when users are interacting with AI or viewing AI-generated content. This is every time an AI is interacting directly with a natural person it must explicitly disclose it is an AI in a clear and timely manner. When interacting directly with a natural person the AI must explicitly disclose it is an AI in a clear and timely manner. For agentic voice assistants (like automated receptionists, customer service bots, or outbound sales agents), this means: Upfront Audible Warning: The voice agent must announce itself as an AI system at the very beginning of the call, before any sensitive data is collected. No Buried Disclosures: Relying on disclosures in Terms & Conditions, hidden URLs, or purely text-based machine-readable logs is not compliant for direct interactions. Technical Labelling: Agentic voice architectures must embed auditable watermarking and metadata indicating synthetic audio generation. Language: The disclosure must be delivered in the language the conversation is being conducted in. Enforcement for these rules began on August 2, 2026, backed by the European Commission's Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-Generated Content. These transparency regulations come into strict enforcement across the European Union, with penalties reaching up to €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover. Furthermore, because live voice calls process sensitive data like names, phone numbers, and conversation transcripts, GDPR compliance is also fully required.
