AssemblyAI has released a tutorial for building an AI voice agent capable of handling customer support tasks like order lookups and account verification. The agent utilizes AssemblyAI's Voice Agent API, which integrates speech-to-text, LLM reasoning, and text-to-speech on a single WebSocket connection to provide a seamless customer experience. Separately, a developer documented a process for training a support AI using real customer service chat logs, employing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with a vector store and hybrid search to extract knowledge from historical conversations.
