What is WebSocket?
Recently, we published a blog post describing why WebSockets are great for real-time services. In this article, we describe the process of establishing, maintaining and closing the WebSockets connection.

The WebSocket protocol (commonly referred to as “WebSockets”) enables real time interactive data exchanges between clients and servers, and application-to-application. It is ideal for connecting communications applications to services offered by specialized cloud providers.

Voximplant now includes a native Cartesia module for streaming, low-latency text-to-speech (TTS). You can use a single VoxEngine API to synthesize speech in real time, connect it to any call (PSTN, SIP, WebRTC, WhatsApp) and control playback from a Large Language Model (LLM) or other source, all inside VoxEngine.

Voximplant has added Secrets, a dedicated credential store for API keys, tokens, and other sensitive values that VoxEngine scenarios need at runtime

Voximplant now includes a native Grok module that connects any Voximplant call to xAI’s Grok Voice Agent API for real-time, speech-to-speech conversations. With a single VoxEngine scenario, you can interact via audio with Grok over phone numbers, SIP trunks and infrastructure, WhatsApp Business, or WebRTC into Grok — all without building custom media gateways or WebSocket streaming infrastructure.

Use Realtime API in VoxEngine to build speech-to-speech voice AI with data residency control. Set baseUrl to any OpenAI Realtime-compatible endpoint, including Azure EU deployments, and control where call audio is processed

Voximplant has new realtime speech generation for voice AI from Inworld, our latest Voice AI text-to-speech (TTS) partner. Together, we combine state-of-the-art TTS with carrier-grade connectivity so you can build voice agents that sound like your brand, not a generic robot.

Connect any OpenAI-compatible text LLM to your voice AI pipeline in VoxEngine via Chat Completions or Responses API. Set baseUrl to any provider or your own deployment, including EU endpoints for data residency

How Jev and other decision models help LLM voice bots with topic routing, turn detection, barge-in, form filling, action checks and model choice.
