Yes, certainly can. We give the maximum customization for the LLM part.

Great idea. However, it seems like outbound sales calls could be annoying, and the FCC appears to restrict them.

We have an open-source demo repo: Node.js demo: https://github.com/adam-team/retell-backend-node-demo

Love to see people has interest over our demo. But, I checked his former post, and he already built a voice Agent a couple of days ago. So I believe he just changed the prompts to create this demo: https://twitter.com/sean_moriarity/status/175895035375034804.... Also, after testing their live demo at https://nero.ngrok.dev/, it appears it might still be missing some key features, such as latency and endpoint detection.

Thanks for the heads-up. We're definitely aiming to cover customer service down the line. We'll be exploring ways to introduce a more affordable option soon.

Thanks. We get it—the current pricing doesn't fit everyone's budget. We will try to look into ways to roll out a more affordable option later.

If you are looking for a text to speech solution, you could use elevenlabs turbo model.

Glad you're into the "bring your own LLM" feature—it's tough to fine-tune an LLM, but it's definitely worth it for the improved results.

Roger that! Will fix it.

Yes, for booking appointments, a simple interface might do the trick. However, we've seen many excellent use cases of our API that prevent repetitive tasks and help companies save money, like AI logistics assistants, pre-surgery data collection, AI tutor and AI therapists. I believe the future will bring even more voice interface applications. Imagine not having to navigate complex UIs; you could easily book a flight or a hotel just by speaking. Also, older people might prefer phone calls over navigating UI interfaces.

Thanks for the feedback. We will look into it

I believe Gridspace is an IVR solution, not one based on LLM. It's challenging to ask questions that deviate from the initial settings. We're using LLM to generate responses, which makes the conversation smoother.

It might ask for permission to use the microphone. If you can't find it, try going to the website's homepage, where you can enter your phone number to receive a call.

Yes, we do plan to make the responses more conversational by adding pauses, filter words, slight stuttering, etc. This is also a high priority for us to work on.

We pride ourselves on being very responsive! We usually create a Slack group with users actively integrating and answer any questions ASAP

Thanks for the suggestion! Will take a look into the confusion problem

I think vocode will focus more on open source libraries, they have tons of integrations. We don’t have any integrations, we only focus on the voice AI API part and leave the LLM part to customer.

yanyan_evie | 2 years ago | on: Launch HN: Retell AI (YC W24) – Conversational Speech API for Your LLM

If you have your own LLM, our feature is the most customizable. And since we don't own an LLM, we'll focus on making our Voice AI as human-like as possible.

Thanks! Will push harder

yanyan_evie | 2 years ago | on: Launch HN: Retell AI (YC W24) – Conversational Speech API for Your LLM

Yes. Great point
