[Feedback] Voice Calls (alpha)

[enricoros]

Instructions and feedback thread for Voice Calls in big-AGI.

1. Start a Voice call

Note: it's best to start a call on an existing chat, so that both ends (the AI Persona you call, and yourself) have the most available context

There are two ways of initiating a Voice Call from an existing chat:

1. "Call" button at the bottom (right on desktop, left on mobile)
2. "Call" button on the persona selector

2. System Check

Make sure all the checks are green, or try to resolve the issues before proceeding. This wizard will only be shown the first time, unless the issues persist.

3. Call Options

During a call, you can switch "Push To Talk" on/off. If active (default) then the microphone needs to be pushed before speaking. This is best to avoid echoes and other ambient noise.

Note - you can also say the following commands during a call. These single words will be interpreted as system commands:

• goodbye: ends the call
• retry: regenerates the last message
• restart: starts from the beginning

Known limitations:

• Works best on headphones as there is no echo suppression; the AI Voice itself may be recorded and loop
• At the end of a call, it is not summarized or appended to the chat history (just yet)
• The call can run out of tokens_, in which case the persona will read out loud the error message
• Changing the voice will also restart the chat

🙌 Looking forward to your feedback to prioritize the right integration and development! 🙌
