Most voice AI tools fall apart the moment someone interrupts, goes quiet, or asks something off-script. This afternoon, you'll build one that doesn't.
Take2's engineers run AI phone interviews in production every day, & they'll show you what they've learned: how to wire up speech-to-text, an LLM, & text-to-speech into a pipeline fast enough to feel like a conversation. Then you & your team get three hours to build your own, with Take2 mentors on the floor.
The challenge: Build an agent that does one job on a real phone call, like booking an appointment or screening a candidate. At demo time, your agent takes a live call from our judges. One of them will be a difficult caller.
What you get
A starter kit & API credits for LiveKit, Deepgram, Gemini, & Cartesia
Hands-on mentoring from engineers who ship voice AI at scale
A working voice agent you can keep building on
Dinner, drinks, & a room full of NYC builders
Prizes include a fast-track, in-person interview with Take2, an opportunity to pitch to investors at Reach Capital, & others to be announced.
How you'll be judged
Did the agent do its job on the call?
How did it handle interruptions, silence, & curveballs?
Did the conversation feel natural, with good response time & turn-taking?
Were the design choices deliberate?
Schedule
3 PM: Welcome & Voice Agent Seminar
4 PM: Build
7 PM: Live Demos
8 PM: Awards & Networking
Who should come: Engineers who want hands-on time with real-time voice AI. Come solo or bring a team of up to 4. You don't need voice AI experience, just comfort writing code & a laptop. Spots are limited to 50.
