Deepgram vs Dialpad

Developer Builds Multilingual AI Voice Agent 'Sadie'

A developer, Ayush Shinde, built Sadie — a multilingual AI voice agent — during the "10 Days of AI Voice Agents — #VoiceForBharat Edition" challenge. Over ten days he implemented real-time voice conversations, Hindi-English code-mixing support, persistent (permissioned) memory, tool integration, outbound phone calling via SIP, human escalation via Discord webhooks, an analytics dashboard, and multi-agent specialist handoffs (grammar, maths, full-stack). The system integrates LiveKit for real-time transport, Deepgram for STT, Google Gemini as the LLM brain, and Murf Falcon for TTS, with SQLite for memory and Next.js/Chart.js for analytics. The post documents architecture, implementation details, encountered bugs (telephony SIP encryption, logging issues, import paths), and instructions to run the public repository and demo.

10-Day AI Voice Agent Stops Scam Calls

A developer built 'Suraksha Saathi', an AI voice agent prototype to help families detect and respond to scam calls in 10 days.

Features include Hindi support via Devanagari-only output, a consent-based memory to remember callers, a panic button that alerts a human fraud team via Discord, real-time scam tracking dashboard, and mid-call voice-engine handoffs to escalate to an investigator persona. The author published the post on DEV and shared source code on GitHub.
