Open Source Voice Agents in Practice
With projects like whisper.cpp and the OpenAI Agents SDK, it's easier than ever to build voice-driven assistants on your own hardware. These tools provide robust building blocks without locking you into proprietary platforms.
Start small by transcribing audio locally and feeding it to a language model. Then add custom actions to respond or perform tasks. Because everything runs on open infrastructure, you remain in full control of data and customization.
