Developer bypasses AI vendors, improves LLM response with larger context

A developer integrated an AI participant into Google Meet, aiming to automate meeting tasks beyond simple transcription. Initially, the AI provided unhelpful, evasive responses, which the developer attributed to latency and model capability issues. However, by increasing the context window, the AI's responses became more substantive. The developer also bypassed the need for a dedicated TTS vendor by using FFmpeg to convert audio files and directly posting them to the API, and discovered that the AI was inadvertently responding to its own speech due to a flawed live loop, causing it to miss human input.
