Description

Dessa is an innovative speech-to-speech AI model developed by Block, specifically designed for exploring conversational voice technologies and their various applications. This model uniquely processes audio inputs and generates audio outputs directly, bypassing the need for an intermediary text conversion. Instead of relying on text as a foundation, it has been built from the ground up using actual human conversations, enabling it to facilitate full-duplex communication, where it can listen and speak simultaneously. Designed to operate locally on advanced hardware like the MacBook Pro equipped with an M4 Max chip or superior, Dessa effectively captures nuanced conversational elements such as emotions, sarcasm, laughter, pauses, and turn-taking, which are often diminished in text-based communication systems. Aimed primarily at AI safety researchers and developers, it serves as a powerful tool for examining voice model dynamics, privacy implications, and the intricacies of real-time interactions. Importantly, Dessa is not intended for general business use or as a hosted voice-agent solution, marking its specific role in the realm of research and development within the voice technology landscape. This specificity underscores its potential to deepen understanding of voice interactions and inform future AI advancements.

Description

Dograh is a self-hostable voice agent platform that is open source and features a no-code workflow builder designed for developing production-ready voice agents. Teams have the flexibility to select their preferred inbound channels, speech-to-text services, language models, text-to-speech options, and telephony providers, or they can opt for innovative speech-to-speech models that facilitate direct audio interactions with seamless turn-taking, interruption management, and minimal latency. The platform caters to both inbound and outbound calling, offering widgets, telephony integrations, observability, tracing capabilities, real-time analytics, and a hybrid approach that combines pre-recorded voice with TTS, all while supporting over 70 languages.
