Announcing: Voice AI course and online community ...
@swyx and I are hosting a month-long technical deep dive into Voice AI and Voice Agents. Our goals are to:
➡️ cover all the lessons we've learned over the last two years building realtime, conversational AI,
➡️host fun sessions with all our favorite people who have relevant knowledge to communicate,
➡️and build a long-term online community.

We'll start announcing guest lecturers and free credits from course sponsors on Monday. Sign up this weekend with promo code EARLYBIRD for $250 off the course cost.
Here's the syllabus outline.

Backstory ...
Last year I signed up for the LLM fine-tuning course taught by @HamelHusain and @dan_s_becker.
The experience was fantastic in every way. The material was great. The course expanded to cover way more than fine-tuning. It seemed like all of Twitter signed up. I met people in the course Discord that have become online and offline friends. (Hello, @charles_irl!) Someone eventually dubbed the course "AI Woodstock." (I think credit for that goes to @swyx.)
This is the moment to create a similar thing for voice AI!
Voice interfaces are going to be a huge part of the near-future of computing. Voice agents are being deployed at scale today for a wide range of use cases, including:
➡️ collecting patient data prior to healthcare appointments
➡️ following up on inbound sales leads,
➡️ handling an increasing variety of call center tasks,
➡️ coordinating scheduling and logistics between companies, and
➡️ answering the phone for nearly every kind of small business.
I'm personally excited about voice interactions for games, realtime video, and voice-enabled programming environments.
Join us for the course if you're interested in this stuff, are building in voice AI, or are just curious about what's possible today with today's best low-latency models and tools?
