Building Voice-Controlled AI Agents
KDnuggets

EDITOR BRIEF
The article breaks a voice-controlled AI agent into core parts: streaming speech recognition, turn detection, streaming response generation, interruption handling, and tool calling. It explains what each component does in the pipeline and how they work under voice-specific constraints.
INSIGHTS
For learners, this is useful because it shows that a voice agent is a system of smaller pieces, not one model. A good next step is to prototype one piece at a time, starting with speech-to-text and turn detection.
