Pipecat vs LiveKit: the trade-offs that lock you in
An opinionated comparison of Pipecat and LiveKit for production voice agents, covering architecture, deployment, cost, and the trade-offs that lock you in.
Voice AI pipeline: STT, LLM, TTS and the 300ms budget
Build a real-time voice pipeline with Pipecat. How STT, LLM, and TTS stream concurrently under a 300ms latency budget, with turn detection and interruptions.
The Buffering Bug That Quietly Breaks Voice Agent Latency
SSE streams fine locally, then tokens batch into 500ms bursts in production. Here's why, how to fix it, and why pipeline parallelism matters more than model speed.
Voice Agent Platform Architecture: The Stack Behind Sub-300ms Responses
Deep dive into voice agent architecture — the STT→LLM→TTS pipeline, latency budgets, interruption handling, WebRTC vs WebSocket transport, and what orchestration platforms leave on the table.
Real-Time Monitoring for AI Agents: What to Watch and When to Panic
What dashboards actually matter for production AI agents. Alert fatigue, anomaly detection, and the metrics that predict failures before customers notice.
Edge AI for Voice Agents: Fix Latency and Privacy at the Source
How edge AI eliminates 50-200ms of latency and entire classes of privacy risks for voice agents — with hybrid architecture patterns and TypeScript examples.
Sub-300ms Voice AI: The New Standard That's Redefining Customer Expectations
Discover why sub-300ms response times have become the new standard in voice AI, backed by cognitive science research and real-world deployment data.
Performance Benchmarks for AI Agents: What Actually Matters Beyond Word Error Rate
Most enterprises obsess over Word Error Rate while missing the metrics that actually predict success. Here's what to measure instead.
The 16% Rule: How Every Second of Latency Destroys Voice AI Customer Satisfaction
Research shows each second of latency reduces customer satisfaction by 16%. Learn the technical causes of voice AI delays and discover testing strategies to maintain sub-second response times.
