Build voice-based LLM apps in minutes

Vocode is an open source library that makes it easy to build voice-based LLM apps. Using Vocode, you can build real-time streaming conversations with LLMs and deploy them to phone calls, Zoom meetings, and more. You can also build personal assistants or apps like voice-based chess. Vocode provides easy abstractions and integrations so that everything you need is in a single library.

We're actively looking for community maintainers, so please reach out if interested!
