Zeus is a fully agentic harness for voice AI: an AI agent that builds, tests and tunes your voice agents for you. Zeus configures agents on the ThunderPhone voice AI stack, which combines multiple models at once to achieve higher accuracy (99.4% on Big Bench Audio) and lower price (from 2¢/min) than competitors based on 3-step STT-LLM-TTS pipelines or single speech-to-speech models. Create an agent by talking to Zeus, or import one from Vapi, Retell, Bland or ElevenLabs.

Could you build this?

Partial The agent harness that configures and tunes voice agents is vibe-codeable, but matching the claimed accuracy and sub-3-cent pricing depends on a multi-model voice stack with real-time telephony infrastructure that vibe coding alone won't produce.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a telephony layer (SIP/WebRTC, carrier relationships), a low-latency streaming speech pipeline combining STT, LLM and TTS models, and an evaluation harness to benchmark and route between models. The hard parts are cost-efficient inference at scale and reliable real-time orchestration, which call for backend and voice-ML engineers plus GPU or provider contracts.
