Could you build this?
Partial A Vapi-compatible API and self-hosted orchestration are buildable with vibe coding, and Whisper, Ollama, and Kokoro can be wired together. However, low-latency real-time telephony with barge-in, turn-taking, and carrier integrations is hard to get reliable without deep voice-systems experience.
What it would actually take: Architecture is a WebSocket media-streaming server bridging Twilio, Telnyx, Plivo, Vonage, or SIP to STT, LLM, and TTS components, with a REST API that mirrors Vapi's schema. The hard parts are sub-second latency, interruption handling, jitter and audio-codec issues, and SIP edge cases. Building it well requires experience with real-time audio pipelines and telephony, plus substantial testing across carriers.
