We’re entering an era where AI doesn’t just respond to typed commands, it can talk, listen, and understand in real time. Voice AI agents are emerging as the next step in human-machine interaction, enabling more natural and accessible ways to engage with technology. In this talk, we’ll explore what makes voice the most intuitive interface, how Voice AI agents differ from traditional chatbots, and the opportunities they unlock across industries; from customer experience to accessibility and beyond. I’ll also share a live demo powered by Telnyx, showcasing how an AI agent can hold a simple, natural conversation over voice. Attendees will leave with a clear sense of where Voice AI fits in the AI landscape, and why it’s poised to become the next big shift in how we interact with machines.
