yanyan_evie··on Launch HN: Retell AI (YC W24) – Conversational Speech API for Your LLM
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.
yanyan_evie··on Launch HN: Retell AI (YC W24) – Conversational Speech API for Your LLM
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.

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.
yanyan_evie··on Launch HN: Retell AI (YC W24) – Conversational Speech API for Your LLM
Thanks! Will push harder
yanyan_evie··on Launch HN: Retell AI (YC W24) – Conversational Speech API for Your LLM
Yes. Great point
yanyan_evie··on Launch HN: Retell AI (YC W24) – Conversational Speech API for Your LLM
It’s a great idea. We have a use case that they want to add voice agent into the zoom. Could schedule a call to talk about tech design
yanyan_evie··on Launch HN: Retell AI (YC W24) – Conversational Speech API for Your LLM
Thanks for the great feedback! Absolutely, with a fine-tuned LLM or a better prompt, we can make the responses more reasonable. We'll make a note to update our demo prompt accordingly!

yes… one of our favorite movies

The use case I recall involves a nonprofit organization focused on preventing suicide. They are hoping for an AI therapy solution capable of listening to patients and picking up the phone when no human is available. This isn't entirely unacceptable because one of the therapist's roles is to listen to problems, so AI can effectively substitute in this aspect.

Great point! Theres's some room for the prompt to improve~

The different providers have different prices. openai tts & deepgram are cheaper, 11labs are higher

That's an interesting point! We did consider adding memory to the voice agent, and we have use cases like an AI therapy session wanting to know the former conversation with the patient. Adding the previous chat would be very helpful as well.
