Voice AI demos are everywhere: perfect caller, perfect response, no surprises.
Production is different.
In real deployments, speech recognition mishears callers, APIs timeout, conversations drift, and latency starts breaking the experience. That gap between a working demo and a reliable voice system is where most projects fail.
Join Brian West (Head of Developer Experience) for a 30-minute SignalWire LIVEWire on the five engineering patterns that repeatedly break Voice AI in production—and what to build instead.
