A challenge to make AI coding agents call when they need help
DeepLearning.AI and VocalBridge are running a 7-day Voice AI Builder Challenge that ends on June 30, 2026. The goal is to build a coding assistant that does not stop forever when it hits an important decision.
Instead, it calls a person, explains the situation, gets an answer, and keeps working. Participants create a SKILL.md file that teaches AI agents when to call a human, what information to share, and how to continue after getting a response.
The challenge covers voice AI development, AI agent , systems, agent decision-making frameworks, , real-time , and voice-based escalation. Prizes include DeepLearning.AI Pro access, VocalBridge access, possible showcase slots at VocalBridge events, and a feature on the DeepLearning.AI .
