Brief

Andrew Ng announced on 2026-06-18 a new deeplearning.ai course, 'Add voice to your AI agents and applications', built with VocalBridge and taught by CEO @ashwyn. The course walks through three concrete voice apps (game, quick voice-enable in ~10 lines, outbound-call agent with makephone_call) and teaches adding voice layers, live transcript streaming, and voice evaluation without overhauling pipelines.

New course: Add voice to your AI agents and applications, built with @VocalBridge (disclosure: an AI Fund portfolio company) and taught by its CEO @_ashwyn.

Voice applications historically required making a hard tradeoff: using fast voice-to-voice models that sacrifice reliability, or accurate speech-to-text pipelines that add latency. This course teaches you how to build voice agents that are both reliable and fast.

You'll build three types of voice-enabled applications: a voice-interactive game where voice commands and mouse clicks work together over a single channel, an agent that gains a voice in about 10 lines of code without touching its prompts or tools, and an agent that places outbound phone calls using a makephonecall function.

Skills you'll gain:
- Add a voice layer to an existing agent without rewriting your prompts, RAG pipeline, or tools
- Give an agent the ability to place outbound calls and stream transcripts back live
- Set up voice evaluation to score calls, catch regressions, and improve quality before deployment

Join and add voice to your agents without overhauling your architecture:
