Building voice-driven AI applications using LLMs
Discover how to create voice-driven AI applications using large language models, focusing on essential components and best practices for success.
The article discusses the potential of voice-driven AI applications and the use of large language models (LLMs) in these applications. It highlights the importance of speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and the LLM itself as the three basic components for building an LLM application. The article also mentions the benefits of running application logic in the cloud, the challenges of phrase detection and endpointing, and the considerations for audio buffer management. It emphasizes the need for reliable and low-latency data flow in voice-driven LLM apps.

Memory is (almost) solved. time is next.
AI can't tell if a memory is two minutes or two weeks old. The fix isn't making models feel time — it's cache invalidation: an as-of stamp on every fact, a clock in the context, and a freshness window for anything volatile.
Did the state change? A simple test for whether work actually happened
Either something exists now that did not exist before, or it does not. A simple test for whether work actually happened, and what changes when you build your systems so they can't record anything else.
