AssemblyAI has published a series of blog posts detailing best practices for building production-ready voice agents. The articles emphasize the importance of robust telemetry and diagnostic pipelines to catch regressions before users do, advocating for a self-serve approach using existing logs and AssemblyAI's tools. Key technical discussions cover optimizing latency through synchronous HTTP requests for speech-to-text transcription, especially when developers manage their own turn detection, and highlight 'time to first token' as the critical metric for perceived agent responsiveness.
