Most voice AI architectures look like a Rube Goldberg machine. You pipe audio into a speech-to-text service, feed the transcript to an LLM, send the LLM’s reply to a text-to-speech engine, then duct-tape the audio back to the user. Each hop adds latency, failure modes, and billing dashboards. AssemblyAI’s Voice Agent API collapses all of that into one WebSocket connection
