About this session
Walk out of this workshop with a deployed digital clone that makes your phone calls for you. We will skip the theory and immediately get our hands dirty wiring together OpenClaw, Twilio, and Gradium to build an autonomous voice agent on a live cellular network. You will tackle the hardest parts of real-time telephony: routing audio streams, handling human interruption, and killing latency. In 60 minutes, your AI will be ready to call restaurants for the daily special, book appointments, and actively negotiate on your behalf.
Speaker
Co-founder & CEO, Gradium
Neil Zeghidour is the co-founder and CEO of Gradium. Neil founded Gradium after a decade of building and leading frontier generative audio teams at Meta and Google DeepMind. Being frustrated by slow and brittle voice assistants , he built the engineering teams that developed the first neural audio codecs and introduced the first audio LLMs, such as AudioLM, at Google. He later created Kyutai to launch Moshi, the world's first real-time, full-duplex conversational AI , and Hibiki, the first simultaneous speech-to-speech translation system. Today, Gradium is focused on helping developers build natural, real-time voice agents by providing ultra-low latency streaming APIs that transition these breakthroughs from the research lab to production.
