It starts talking before it has finished thinking

The reply streams from the language model, and each finished sentence is spoken while the next is still being generated. Waiting for a whole response before speaking puts the entire generation time in front of the first word.

Interrupt it and it stops

Barge-in cuts the audio locally first, then tells the server — so it goes quiet the instant you speak, not a round trip later. The model stops generating, and the agent remembers what it actually said rather than what it had planned to say.

It uses your voice, with your permission

An agent speaks with a cloned voice profile. Putting one on a phone call requires a profile you have confirmed is your own — recorded, not just ticked.

Phone calls

Built. Not switched on.

Outbound calling is written and tested. What does not exist yet is the carrier account, the number registration, and per-customer verification — so it returns a clear error rather than a phone call. We would rather say that here than have you discover it.

Placing AI voice calls is regulated — the FCC treats a synthetic voice as artificial under the TCPA, Texas requires disclosure inside 30 seconds, and the EU AI Act's open-source exemption does not cover its transparency duties. The safeguards above exist because of that, not in spite of it.
