Could you build this?

No Building a production-grade, open-source voice AI platform requires deep telephony knowledge, low-latency audio streaming protocols, and real-time DSP that AI coding assistants cannot independently architect.

What it would actually take: Requires an infrastructure stack centered on WebRTC/SIP media servers (e.g., LiveKit, FreeSWITCH) orchestrating real-time audio pipelines across Voice Activity Detection (VAD), streaming STT, streaming LLM completions, and ultra-low-latency TTS. The core difficulty is keeping end-to-end voice latency below 500ms, handling packet loss and jitter, and implementing seamless interruption handling ('barge-in') over live telecom links.
