AssemblyAI details best practices for production voice agents

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.

    Fast ASR for Voice Agents: Bring Your Own Turn Detection

    When your VAD already owns turn detection, pair it with fast sync HTTP transcription—why it beats built-in endpointing, the latency budget, and when to hand it back.

    Time to first token: the latency metric that decides voice agents

    Time to first token—not WER or average latency—decides whether a voice agent feels alive. What TTFT is, why the usual metrics miss it, and how to measure it.
