Ever measured voice agent performance by gap measuring in Audacity? I know I have.
Here is a system-level app that measures turn-by-turn metrics (including DAC/ADC and Bluetooth latency estimates.)
There is also a handy WS bridge to overlay Pipecat RTVI events π½
Code here:
- Voice agent UI feels stuck in the wiggly-waveform / glowing-orb phase. High-end avatars are exciting, but simple client-rendered characters need richer data than just amplitude to convey speech. An RMS-driven mouth flap gets you pretty far, but believable mouths need phonetic
- AIEWF next week, joining my fellow Pipecat teammates to talk all things voice agents. We'll be at booth U-G8 with our friends at Gradium. And you better believe there will be snazzy new Pipecat swag locked and loaded π
- Arrived in Madrid. Spicy hot, but pumped for the Pipecat + Deepgram + AWS voice AI networking event this evening. Come say hi! (Iβll be the guy wearing a cat t-shirt, of course)
- Landing today in Gradient Bang: further combat updates for observed / indirect encounters. Useful when you prefer having corp ships as muscle (keeping your personal ship safe and sound in fed space!) Updating the map and ship status on the UI was a much needed feature.
