This seems interesting! How are you dealing with hallucination? e.g. recalling a fact from an article that I have not necessarily read

Hey, Akash from Zenfetch here. Fair question. As with any LLM based product, we can't guarantee there won't be any hallucinations. Empirically, we've seen very few instances. We have checkers in place to reduce the risk, and always cite the source material as an escape hatch so you can see where information came from

thanks!! obviously there's a lot of stuff we need to do to make this run at scale that Alexa has down pat.

A Home Assistant integration is a great idea! would love to talk with you on our Discord[0] about this / over email ( ajay at vocode.dev ), it's something we definitely want to build.

Wow, seems we really have to work on our tone/attitude towards those bots, if we don't want to have them revolt as soon as they can grab (or hack) a tool.

Great work. That GenZ bot comes across really civilized.

The short answer is that everything is streaming — as tokens come back from ChatGPT we send them as soon as possible to the synthesizer. The long answer is found in our code[0] :).

how is it sounding good though. usually text to speech models need the full context to sound reasonable.

We chunk it up per sentence so it has some context!

thanks! we have a more "informational" phone number at +19105862633 that speaks a little slower (but sounds more robotic).

I couldn't get through to the 'less robotic' # so tried this one. Really impressive, so I'm very curious to try the former.

Great work!
