What is Conversational AI?

Conversational AI enables machines to understand, interpret, and respond naturally to human language. At Telnyx, Conversational AI merges cutting-edge telecommunications infrastructure with advanced AI capabilities, delivering seamless, ultra-low-latency voice interactions.

Core technologies

  • Real-Time Media Streaming: Telnyx's global private MPLS network combined with WebSocket technology streams raw audio instantly, ensuring high-quality, real-time voice conversations with minimal latency.
  • Speech-to-Text (STT): Converts real-time live audio streams into text for immediate processing.
  • Large Language Models (LLMs): Advanced AI models interpret language and generate accurate, context-sensitive responses. You can use pre-trained models or customize your own.
  • Text-to-Speech (TTS): Transforms AI-generated text responses into realistic, human-like speech instantly streamed back to users.

How It Works

We control every aspect—from network infrastructure to GPU-accelerated AI processing—to provide unmatched reliability, speed, and security. Telnyx Conversational AI operates through a fully integrated, bi-directional real-time streaming process:

  1. Capture voice input: User speech is instantly captured and transmitted securely to Telnyx servers using WebSocket.
  2. Speech-to-Text processing (speech recognition): Immediate transcription of audio into text happens directly on Telnyx's edge-based GPUs. 3 AI-Driven Response Generation: AI analyzes user intent and generates context-aware responses.
  3. Text-to-Speech output: The AI-generated responses are converted into natural speech and streamed back instantly to the user.

This integrated pipeline ensures smooth, natural conversational experiences with ultra-low latency.
