Asterisk AI Voice Agent (github.com)

I welcome the spam calls from our asterisk overlords.

Please don't. I had a talk with a shitty AI bot on a Fedex line. It's absolute crap. Just give me a 'Type 1 for x, type 2 for y'. Then I don't need to guess what are the possibilities.

Can I connect this to Twilio

This opens up new possibilities for interactive phone services. Retro-futuristic for sure.

The baseline configurations all note <2s and <3s times. I haven't tried any voice AI stuff yet but a 3s latency waiting on a reply seems rage inducing if you're actually trying to accomplish something.

Is that really where SOTA is right now?

That seems like bad news for Allison. Though I know she already had some TTS voices available, so many not.

I've created Asterisk Codex Skill, but turns out there is ten seconds timeout for scripts

What is the application of this that makes anything better for anyone? All I can think of is more spammers, scammers, horrible customer support lines.

Nice to see Asterisk on the home page of HN. It’s been a while…

Even if the focus is now on hosted telephony, my experience is that everywhere you can hear the default nusic-on-hold

Long shot, if anyone here is an Asterisk wizard. I would like to correlate CDRs to voicemail recording locations. I am building an integrated dashboard for call recordings, and want voicemails to be included, but that's been surprisingly difficult.

Looked at a repo and it seems this project was heavily AI generated. Would be interesting to hear from the author of the project how it was built.

I (and most people I ask) definitely don’t answer calls from robots or watch videos with robot voice. I’m not sure what value the customer gets here.
