Build a Real-Time Voice AI in Python - Faster Than ChatGPT Voice
🎙️ Build a real-time voice AI assistant in Python using Pipecat and Google's Gemini Live API. Sub-second responses, natural interruptions, and only ~50 lines of code.
In this video, I walk through:
✅ How Gemini Live replaces speech-to-text + LLM + text-to-speech with one service
✅ Building the entire bot pipeline as a simple Python list
✅ Running it locally over WebRTC (no cloud account needed)
✅ Customizing the voice, personality, and model
