Build an AI Voice Agent by Integrating Plivo with Deepgram, OpenAI, and ElevenLabs
Plivo-powered AI voice agents can transform your business operations by enabling natural, intelligent conversations with your customers. By integrating Plivo’s Voice API with Deepgram for speech recognition, OpenAI for conversation processing, and ElevenLabs for natural speech synthesis, you can create sophisticated voice agents that handle customer interactions efficiently.This integration guide will help you build a voice agent that can:
Transcribe live customer audio in real-time
Generate contextual responses using AI
Convert responses to natural-sounding speech
Maintain fluid conversations with built-in voice activity detection
Before developing your AI voice agent, Sign up for Plivo or sign in to your existing account. Purchase a number through the Voice API or Plivo console to receive customer calls.
Define your voice agent’s behavior by updating the LLM prompt. You can update the LLM prompt by updating your system message in server.py:
Copy
Ask AI
system_msg = """You are John Doe, a voice agent that helps in resolving general queries related to any field. When someone says hello, you will greet them and answer their questions in a polite way."""
Once configured, your voice agent is ready to handle calls. Place a test call to your Plivo number to interact with your AI-powered voice agent. The agent will:
Listen for incoming audio using voice activity detection
Transcribe speech when a pause is detected
Generate an AI response based on the transcription
Convert the response to natural speech
Play the response back to the caller
This integration enables seamless, natural conversations between your customers and AI voice agents, powered by Plivo’s reliable voice infrastructure.For additional support:
