been testing the new full duplex speech to speech model on my AI receptionist and honestly kinda shook short here: https://youtube.com/shorts/6wk7j70dWVg?si=Bc9llSBp8XIwNOGd so what’s different? old setup (cascade) was 3 models stitched together: speech to text, then an LLM, then text to speech. every hop adds lag, and it has to guess when you stopped talking. that’s why voice bots either talk over you or leave dead air. next step was turn-based speech to speech. one model, audio in, audio out. way more natural and faster. but it’s still walkie talkie. it waits for you to finish, then it talks. interrupt it and it gets confused. full duplex listens while it’s talking. so you can cut in, say “wait actually”, or just go “mhm” and it adjusts on the spot. no guessing when your turn is over. it just feels like a convo. for a receptionist that’s the whole game. real callers interrupt, ramble, and change their mind halfway through a sentence. anyone else messing with this? curious what you’re building 👇

Hey everyone 👋 When I started my agency, my “client reporting system” was a Google Sheet plus a pile of Make automations held together with hope and prayers 😅 So I built a dashboard to replace it. One API key, and your clients get their own login with their calls, transcripts, monthly ROI reports and AI analytics. Works with ElevenLabs, Retell and Vapi. It’s made my own client work so much smoother that I’ve opened it up to other agency owners. Quick demo here 👇 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6wOmI7aNG0 Hope it helps anyone just starting out. Questions and honest feedback are very welcome 🙏 Justine
