Conversational AI & Chatbots Market: Voice AI Assistant for Indian Farmers Built in 10 Days
A developer built "Farm & Field," a voice AI assistant for Indian farmers during the 10 Days of Voice Agents — VoiceForBharat Edition by Murf AI. The system integrates Speech-to-Text, an LLM, Text-to-Speech, and real-time transport (Deepgram, Google Gemini, Murf Falcon, LiveKit) with SQLite-backed memory, weather and market-price tools, human escalation, a specialist crop agent, outbound calling via LiveKit SIP, and call analytics. The agent supports Malayalam, English, and Manglish, requests consent before storing memory, and hands off to humans or specialists when appropriate. The project code is available on GitHub.
Demonstrates a practical, multilingual voice-agent integration of STT, LLM, TTS, real-time transport, and human escalation for an underserved use case; useful as a technical reference but not a major platform or policy change.
