Description

Join SignalWire for a hands-on session to learn building AI Voice Agents

Every voice AI demo works. Most production deployments don't. In one evening, build a working agent on infrastructure where state lives in the call, logic lives in your code, and you can see what happened on every turn.

Build AI voice agents that don't break in production. By the end of the evening you'll have working code on patterns you can take straight to production. No boilerplate. No demoware.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why voice agents that work in demos break in production, and why that's an architecture problem, not a model problem
  • How to keep state in the call and logic in your code instead of in the prompt
  • Tool calling from a live call against a real backend
  • Handling interruptions, turn-taking, and handoffs without losing context
  • How to see what happened on every turn so you can debug a real conversation

Raffle Prize:
Every attendee is automatically entered for a chance to win an iPad 🎁 at the end of the workshop!

Who Should Attend: Senior developers and engineers, AI engineers, and technical leaders building or evaluating voice AI. Hands-on session, attendees bring laptops and leave with working code.

Welcome & introduction
A short opening from the SignalWire team on why every demo works and most production deployments don't: state tracked outside the call, logic living in the prompt, and no visibility into what happened on each turn. Sets up the patterns you'll build in the workshop.
6:30PM
Hands-on Workshop
Build a working voice agent on infrastructure where state lives in the call and logic lives in your code. You'll put it on a real phone number, call it, and see every turn as it happens. You leave with working code on patterns you can take straight to production. No boilerplate. No demoware.
