We are so excited to bring the community our next challenge with AssemblyAI.

Running through July 27, the AssemblyAI Voice Agents Challenge is all about building with Universal-Streaming, AssemblyAI's most advanced real-time transcription API. Universal-Streaming is ultra fast (300ms latency!), ultra accurate, and offers intelligent endpointing to keep conversations flowing naturally.

There are three distinct prompts for this challenge, with three opportunities to win. We can't wait to see what you build with this transformative technology!

Our Prompts

Business Automation Voice Agent

Build a voice agent that automates real business processes - sales calls, customer support, appointment scheduling, lead qualification, etc. Showcase Universal-Streaming's accuracy in professional contexts with proper nouns, business terminology, and multi-step workflows. Focus on practical B2B/B2C applications that could actually be deployed.

Real-Time Voice Performance

Create the fastest, most responsive voice experience possible using Universal-Streaming. Build an application where sub-300ms latency matters - voice-controlled interfaces, gaming, live translation, instant commands. Demonstrate technical optimization, performance benchmarking, and creative speed-dependent use cases.

Domain Expert Voice Agent

Build a specialized voice agent with deep domain knowledge that can learn and improve from conversations. Focus on expertise in specific fields (legal, medical, technical support, education, etc.) and incorporate RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) or conversation learning capabilities. Demonstrate how Universal-Streaming enables accurate domain-specific terminology recognition.

Prizes

Each prompt winner will receive:

All Participants with a valid submission will receive a completion badge on their DEV profile.
