Summary
A developer platform for voice agents that make and take phone calls, with sub-second turn latency.
Description
Vapi is infrastructure for building voice agents. It handles the hard parts of a phone conversation — telephony, streaming speech recognition, turn detection, interruption handling, and speech synthesis — so you write the agent logic rather than a real-time audio pipeline.
What it handles
- Telephony. Buy numbers, place outbound calls, receive inbound ones, transfer to humans, and navigate IVR trees.
- Orchestration. Speech in, model, speech out, with the latency budget managed so conversations feel natural.
- Interruption handling. Callers talk over agents constantly; Vapi detects it and yields, which is what separates a usable agent from an infuriating one.
- Model choice. Bring your preferred language, speech recognition, and voice models rather than accepting a fixed stack.
- Tools and functions. Agents can look up an order, book an appointment, or write to your CRM mid-call.
- Observability. Recordings, transcripts, and per-call analytics for evaluating and improving agents.
