A Voice Agent differs from a standard AI agent in that users interact with it through spoken conversation. Instead of typing prompts, users speak to the agent and it responds with synthesized speech. A typical Voice Agent pipeline works as follows: 1. Audio is captured from the user’s microphone. 2. A speech-to-text (STT) model transcribes the audio into text. 3. The text is processed by an AI agent powered by a language model. 4. The agent’s response is converted back into audio using a text-to-speech (TTS) model and played to the user. Voice Agents are commonly used in real-time applications such as automated telephone customer support. In this hackathon, Small Language Models (SLMs) are defined as language models with fewer than \\ 10 billion parameters. Compared to large models, SLMs are significantly cheaper to run and can often operate efficiently on consumer-grade edge devices. When fine-tuned for specific tasks, SLMs can even outperform much larger models such as GPT-5.4 or Claude Opus 4.6. Voice Agents have strict latency requirements because they operate in real time. Delays in transcription, reasoning, or speech synthesis can significantly degrade the conversational experience.
