Voice AI Engine Development

Overview

This skill guides you through building production-ready voice AI engines with real-time conversation capabilities. Voice AI engines enable natural, bidirectional conversations between users and AI agents through streaming audio processing, speech-to-text transcription, LLM-powered responses, and text-to-speech synthesis.

The core architecture uses an async queue-based worker pipeline where each component runs independently and communicates via asyncio.Queue objects, enabling concurrent processing, interrupt handling, and real-time streaming at every stage.
