AssemblyAI has introduced a new feature called Agent Context Carryover, designed to improve the accuracy of voice agent transcriptions. This feature allows the speech-to-text model to retain awareness of the ongoing conversation, including the agent's previous responses and the user's prior inputs. By enabling this context awareness through a single setting, AssemblyAI aims to eliminate the need for manual key-term lists or custom vocabulary, simplifying the development process for voice agents. The company demonstrated this capability by building a voice agent for a fictional restaurant, Le Périgord Fusion, which features a menu with challenging proper nouns and foreign dishes. AI
