Building a Voice Agent for a Local Indian Store: 10 Days of Voice Agents — VoiceForBharat Edition
Building a voice agent sounds simple at first.
Listen to the user, send the text to an LLM, generate a response, and speak it back.
But once you start adding real-world requirements — memory, safety guardrails, multilingual conversations, phone calls, human escalation, analytics, and specialist handoffs — it becomes a very different engineering problem.
Over the last 10 days, I worked on exactly that as part of 10 Days of Voice Agents — VoiceForBharat Edition. I started with a basic voice agent and gradually turned it into a voice assistant designed for a local Indian store.
