Yes, Groq is perfect for building real-time, low-latency voice agents!

AI-driven voice agents combine speech-to-text (STT) models, large language models (LLMs), and text-to-speech (TTS) models to create powerful hands-free interactions.

With Groq, you can combine the following to create powerful, low-latency voice agents:
1. STT: Whisper models for transcribing spoken audio to text.
2. LLMs: Various models (like Qwen, Llama 3, Llama 4, Compound Beta) for processing the transcribed text, generating responses, and even searching the web and running code.
3. TTS: Models like PlayAI that convert LLM text responses into spoken audio.

The performance depends on which models you choose and how you build the orchestration, but it's possible to build voice agents with ~1.5 second roundtrip responses. We have integrations with third-party voice agent platforms like VAPI, LiveKit, and PipeCat you can review to get started.
