AssemblyAI vs Deepgram for Voice Agents
AssemblyAI has released a comparison of its voice agent infrastructure against Deepgram, highlighting key differences in performance and developer experience. While both platforms offer similar cascaded architectures and pricing, AssemblyAI claims its Universal-3 Pro Streaming model demonstrates superior entity accuracy compared to Deepgram's Nova-3. This accuracy advantage is crucial for voice agents, as errors in transcription can lead to incorrect actions by downstream LLMs, impacting tasks like pharmacy refills or appointment bookings. AI
