You call the LLM of your choice.

You do your tool calls, everything you need to do to generate a response like you normally do for a text agent.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
The era of the Small Giant (Interview)

Then you start streaming the response tokens back to us.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source

And then as soon as we get that first word, we start converting that text to speech and start streaming back to the user.

And so there's a bunch of stuff you have to do to make that really low latency, make that a real-time conversation where you're not waiting more than a second or two for the agent to respond.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
The era of the Small Giant (Interview)
