Voxio Bot: A Voice AI That Actually Gets Things Done
Remember when voice assistants were just glorified egg timers? “Set a reminder,” “Play some music,” “What’s the weather?” Useful, sure—but hardly revolutionary.
Voxio Bot is different.
Built on real-time voice and video AI with WebRTC, Voxio Bot doesn’t just listen—it sees, thinks, and acts. It’s the real-time interface I've always wanted: one that can hop between checking my calendar, analyzing a video, generating images, and looking up my sleep data, all in natural conversation.
Let me show you what it can actually do.
🎙️ Real-Time Voice Conversations
Voxio Bot uses Pipecat and ElevenLabs to deliver natural, low-latency voice conversations. No “processing your request” delays. No robotic responses. Just fluid dialogue that feels like talking to a very capable (and slightly caffeinated) colleague.
One secret ingredient? A TTS pre-caching system that pre-generates common filler phrases—so when the bot says “Hmm, let me check that,” it responds instantly while the real work happens in the background. It’s the conversational equivalent of a confident nod while you’re actually scrambling to find the answer.
📅 Calendar & Productivity Integration
“What’s on my calendar tomorrow?”
In seconds, Voxio Bot pulls up my Google Calendar:
- 11:30 AM — Leadership Sync
- 12:00 PM — Workout (which, yes, overlaps with the sync—the bot notices this)
- 6:00 PM — Board Meeting
No app switching. No typing. Just ask and receive.
🌤️ Weather That Actually Matters
“What’s the weather in Houston?”
The response isn’t a data dump—it’s contextual:
“Houston has light freezing rain today with a high of 41. Be careful on the roads. Tomorrow clears up, sunny and 51. The ice should melt by midday.”
It tells you what you need to do, not just what the temperature is.
😴 Health & Biometric Tracking
Connected to my Oura ring, Voxio Bot becomes a sleep coach:
“Last night’s sleep score was 56—below average. High marks for efficiency at 98 and restfulness at 94. But total sleep was low and REM was only 33. Looks like a short night—you might want to prioritize rest tonight.”
It doesn’t just report numbers. It interprets them.
🔍 GIF Search & Reactions
Need to express exactly the right emotion? Just ask:
“Find me a GIF of a mind blown reaction”
Voxio Bot searches Tenor, finds the perfect GIF, and can send it directly to your chat. Because sometimes the only appropriate response to a brilliant idea is an exploding brain animation.
🎨 AI Image Generation
“Generate an image of a wolf coding at a computer in a cozy cabin”
Using OpenAI’s image generation or Gemini’s multimodal capabilities, Voxio Bot creates custom images on demand. Perfect for:
- Quick concept visualizations
- Social media content
- Making your Slack channels more interesting
- Proving that wolves can, in fact, write Python
🎬 Video & Image Analysis
Drop a YouTube link or upload an image, and Voxio Bot analyzes it:
- Transcribe and summarize video content
- Extract key frames from videos
- Describe what’s happening in images
- Answer questions about visual content
“What’s happening in this security camera footage?” becomes a reasonable question to ask your voice assistant.
💻 GitHub & Development Integration
For those of us who live in code:
“Check the latest status of the Voxio Bot repo”
Response:
“The beta branch is 1 commit ahead of main with the warping test infrastructure. All 47 unit tests are passing. Coverage is at 23%—still needs work to hit the 85% target. No open issues or PRs.”
It’s like having a junior dev who actually reads the commit history.
🔗 The Integration Layer
What makes Voxio Bot powerful isn’t any single feature—it’s how everything connects. In one conversation, I can:
- Check my calendar
- See I have a board meeting tomorrow
- Ask for weather at the meeting location
- Check my sleep score to see if I’m rested enough
- Generate a GIF to send my co-founder about how the meeting prep is going
All voice. All natural. All without touching my phone.
Under the Hood
For the technically curious:
- Voice Pipeline: Pipecat + Silero VAD + ElevenLabs TTS
- WebRTC: Daily.co for real-time audio/video
- AI Backend: Claude for reasoning, with tool use for integrations
- TTS Caching: Pre-generated filler phrases + on-demand caching
- Deployment: Python async, uv for package management
The caching system alone saves significant latency and API costs by storing commonly-used voice responses locally.
What’s Next?
Voxio Bot is still evolving. On the roadmap:
- Local Piper TTS for offline operation
- More biometric integrations
- Proactive notifications (“Your next meeting starts in 10 minutes and you haven’t had coffee yet”)
- Multi-modal responses (showing images while talking)
The Future of Voice AI
We’ve moved past the era of voice assistants that just set timers. Voxio Bot represents what’s possible when you combine:
- Real-time voice AI
- Powerful reasoning (Claude)
- Deep integrations (calendar, health, dev tools)
- A personality that doesn’t feel like talking to a robot
The goal isn’t to replace how you work—it’s to remove the friction between thought and action.
“Check my calendar, tell me about the weather, and find me a GIF that captures my Monday mood.”
Done, done, and done. 🐺

Voxio Bot is built by me (Jonathan) to give a voice to Clawdbot and Claude.
