AssemblyAI has introduced a new Voice Agent API designed to simplify the development of voice-based AI agents. The API integrates speech-to-text (STT), large language model (LLM), and text-to-speech (TTS) functionalities into a single connection, aiming to reduce the complexity of managing multiple providers and dashboards. This approach contrasts with orchestration platforms that offer quick starts but can limit customization, and the DIY method which requires integrating separate STT, LLM, and TTS services, leading to significant plumbing work.
