The blog post outlines the development of a real-time voice bot utilizing OpenAI’s Realtime API, which can summarize long conversations on the fly to maintain communication quality. Key features include:
- Live Microphone Streaming: The bot utilizes an OpenAI voice-to-voice endpoint for immediate audio processing.
- Instant Transcripts and Playback: It provides live transcripts and audio playback during interactions.
- Conversation State Management: A state container tracks all messages exchanged between the user and the bot.
- Context Trimming: The bot automatically summarizes older conversation turns to avoid exceeding a configurable token window.
- Extensible Design: The solution is adaptable for various applications, such as customer support bots and multilingual assistants.
Prerequisites for implementation include Python 3.10, an OpenAI API key, and audio input/output permissions. The blog also discusses efficient handling of tokens and summarization strategies to optimize performance.
