Ever wanted to build an AI that can actually answer phone calls and have a real conversation? ποΈ
In this Part 2 of my AI Voice Agent series, I walk you through connecting ElevenLabs Conversational AI to Twilio to create a fully functional voice agent that can TALK BACK!
π₯ What You'll Learn
This tutorial covers building a bidirectional audio bridge where:
- Twilio captures phone audio and streams it to your server
- Your server forwards audio to ElevenLabs for transcription & AI processing
- ElevenLabs generates natural speech responses
- The AI voice is sent back through Twilio to the caller
It's like having your own AI assistant that can answer calls 24/7!
