Overview

Vocode is an open-source toolkit for building voice-based LLM agents. Vocode Core supplies the integrations, orchestration and abstractions for voice applications on top of any AI stack, and Vocode API is a hosted, enterprise-grade layer on top of Core for managing AI agents on phone calls. Python, Node and React SDKs are published.

Trade-offs

  • React demo repo is archived; several SDK repos see little activity
