Show HN: Mixpanel for Voice AI Agents
voice.canonical.chat
LLMs have changed the paradigm for Voice AI. Compared to rule-based systems (Siri, Alexa, Amazon Polly), LLM-based Voice AI agents understand the intent of the caller and can more often resolve the issue without escalation to a human agent. Moreover, with LLM-based Voice AI agents, developers can build a Voice AI agent more quickly, onboard customers quicker, and iterate on the product faster. Our customers’ Voice AI agents are doing amazing things. It’s so much fun to see the agents achieve the caller’s objective, even in the face of skepticism from the caller.
But LLM-based Voice AI agents are still nascent in some ways. For example, it’s hard for developers to know how their agents are performing. Most Voice AI agent developers are manually listening to calls to identify issues in them. Or they’re finding out about issues with their agent when their customers complain. There’s a better way.
When my cofounder, Adrian Cowham, and I started the company, we were building a semantic cache. We started meeting a lot of Voice AI developers because they were interested in latency improvements from caching. However, we kept hearing them say, “We don’t need to optimize our agent yet. We just need to get it to be more reliable.”
So we pivoted. We’re now building Mixpanel for Voice AI agents. We map caller journeys. We provide audio metrics (i.e., latency) and conversational metrics (i.e., identify calls that end abruptly). We help Voice AI developers improve their agents.
We’d love it if people in the Hacker News community would try out our product and let us know what they think!
