A free learning path for building voice agents from basics to launch
work by turning speech into text, sending that text to an AI model, and turning the answer back into spoken audio. Building them is hard because several parts must work together, including , a , , , turn detection, and phone connections. The learning path starts with the basic speech-to-AI-to-speech flow and the delay that builders need to manage.
It then moves to making a simple first project with LiveKit Agents or Pipecat, both options. Later steps show how to swap each part so learners understand what each layer does. The path also covers connecting a real phone number through SIP and preparing a system for production with testing, safety work, and rules such as the FCC and EU AI Act.
It includes more than 190 resources, marks commercial sources, sorts materials by level, and ends with a 5-week plan.
