Description
A WebRTC-native, audio-first conversational-AI framework for Go.Pipecat is great, and jargo is a port of it — the architecture and many design decisions are Pipecat's.But, I prefer Golang.

Could you build this?
Partial While porting high-level pipeline orchestration from Python to Go is doable with AI assistance, low-latency audio DSP, WebRTC protocol nuances, and custom media pipeline handling in Go require real-time systems programming.
What it would actually take: The project requires implementing a low-latency audio pipeline using Pion WebRTC in Go, handling concurrent RTP audio streaming, jitter buffers, and VAD (Voice Activity Detection). It integrates external STT, LLM, and TTS streaming APIs via WebSockets and gRPC. The hard parts are zero-latency audio buffering, interruption handling, and thread-safe pipeline synchronization under high network fluctuation, requiring deep systems and WebRTC engineering.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
