Show HN: Chatsimple – RAG with real-time voice APIs

3 points

2 years ago

Hey HN, I have 6 years of experience in conversational AI. When the LLM boom started, I knew it would open new ways for businesses to engage with customers. So, I decided to start Chatsimple to see if I could help businesses to build human-business interfaces.

Fast forward a year and a half, and with the release of real-time voice APIs and Eleven Labs, the industry has been disrupted again. My team & I put together something to show what RAG for voice could look like.

How is it different for Bland AI and other alternatives: - Instead of going the direct call route like Bland et al, we put together a creative UX that lives on a website. Since it’s not where most folks expect a caller, we saw more interesting behavior in initial testing vs AI sales cold calls.

There’s 5min of free voice API playing around for anyone interested. Any feedback would be super appreciated!
