Advice on Building Voice AI in June 2025

My top three pieces of advice for people getting started with voice agents.Spend time up front understanding why latency and instruction following accuracy drive voice AI tech choices.You will need to add significant tooling complexity as you go from proof of concept to production. Prepare for that. Especially important: build lightweight evals as early as you can.The right path is: start with a proven, “best practices” tech stack -> get everything working one piece at a time -> deploy to real-world users and collect data -> then think about optimizing cost/latency/etc.
