Advanced AI Voice Architecture
Optimal performance via specialized engines: From maximum flexibility to ultra-low latency and hybrid precision.
Pipeline Engine
Pipeline mode first transcribes the caller's words into text, runs that text through the language model, then converts the response back to audio. It's a tried-and-true approach that offers maximum flexibility.
Realtime Engine
Speech-to-speech mode skips separate transcription and TTS. Instead, it uses a multimodal model that listens and speaks directly, producing more conversational flow.
Hybrid Engine
We're excited to introduce Dualplex Mode, our newest and most powerful assistant experience — combining the best of both worlds from Speech-to-Speech and Pipeline modes.
