Frequently Asked Questions

What does a voice AI developer do?

A voice AI developer builds end-to-end conversational phone systems where AI handles voice calls autonomously: speech-to-text (STT) converts caller audio to text, a large language model (LLM) processes intent and generates a response, and text-to-speech (TTS) converts it back to audio — all in under 500ms. They integrate these pipelines with VoIP infrastructure (Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, LiveKit) for inbound/outbound phone call handling.

LiveKit vs VAPI vs Retell — which platform should we use?

LiveKit Agents SDK is open-source and self-hostable — best for teams wanting full control, custom models, or regulated industries (HIPAA/PCI). VAPI is a managed platform with rapid deployment but less customizability. Retell AI offers a no-code-friendly API with built-in telephony. CelloIP recommends LiveKit for production enterprise deployments and VAPI/Retell for rapid prototyping.

What is the minimum latency for a voice AI agent?

With streaming STT (Deepgram Nova-2) + streaming LLM (GPT-4o with token streaming) + streaming TTS (ElevenLabs or Cartesia), end-to-end latency is 400–600ms. Using OpenAI Realtime API (voice-to-voice) or Gemini Live, latency drops to 200–300ms. Our developers optimize each pipeline stage for the lowest achievable latency.

How much does voice AI / voice bot development cost?

A production voice bot (inbound or outbound, single use case) typically costs $15,000–$40,000 including STT, LLM, TTS pipeline, SIP integration, and testing. Our dedicated voice AI developers at $25–38/hr deliver this 50–60% cheaper than US AI agencies at $150–300/hr.

Can voice AI bots handle HIPAA-compliant calls?

Yes. For HIPAA compliance we use self-hosted Whisper (on-premise STT), a BAA-covered LLM (Azure OpenAI or self-hosted Llama 3), and encrypted SIP (SRTP/TLS). No PHI leaves your controlled infrastructure. Our developers have delivered HIPAA-compliant voice AI for multiple healthcare clients.

What languages can voice AI agents support?

Deepgram supports 30+ languages with excellent accuracy. ElevenLabs and Cartesia offer multilingual TTS with natural voice quality. LLMs like GPT-4o and Claude handle multilingual conversation natively. Our developers have deployed voice agents in English, Spanish, French, German, and Hindi.
