We built this after spending ~2 years running voice agents in production and repeatedly hitting reliability and observability issues (dropped calls, unexplained latency, black-box vendor failures).

Rapida lets you run the full voice stack yourself (telephony, STT, TTS, LLM routing) with per-call visibility and control.

Thanks, Looks similar to livekit. but looks decent as it is build by CX company.

Have you used it in production? Cost of running at scale / experience?

Livekit feels more or less for media handling then building voice agent. Last i checked retellai was using livekit.

Piecat is good project i had used for building voice agents but not enterprise ready need to do lot of work to deploy.

We've got a super quick favor to ask. We're running a fun little "Generative AI Adoption and Preferences Survey," and we'd love to hear what you think.

There isn't any personal question. It seriously takes just 2 minutes (we promise).
