Phonic is a platform for building production voice agents on its own end-to-end speech-to-speech models, rather than chaining separate speech-to-text, LLM, and text-to-speech stages. It targets sub-300ms latency for natural turn-taking and reliable tool calling, and bundles evaluation, session records, and real-time observability to surface failure points. Aimed at enterprises, it offers cloud API access plus containerized deployment in your own environment.
