About

Dessa is Block's speech-to-speech artificial intelligence model for conversational voice research and applications. It takes audio input and produces audio output directly, without converting speech into text as an intermediate step. Trained from scratch on human conversation rather than text, the model supports full-duplex interaction, listening and speaking at the same time, and runs locally on a MacBook Pro with an M4 Max chip or better. It captures conversational cues such as emotion, sarcasm, laughter, pauses, and turn-taking that can be lost in text-based pipelines. Dessa is intended for AI safety researchers and developers studying voice-model behavior, privacy, and real-time interaction. It is a speech model for research and development, not a general-purpose business application or hosted voice-agent platform.

About

VaxVoIP Agent AI SDK is a Windows software development kit for connecting SIP servers and IP-PBX systems to OpenAI Realtime speech-to-speech models. It bridges live SIP call audio with AI so developers can build multilingual telephone agents and commercial voice applications without implementing the low-level telephony and model connection themselves. The SDK includes technical documentation and sample projects for Visual C# .NET, Visual Basic .NET and Delphi. Supported use cases include AI receptionists, customer service and information agents, outbound voice agents, and smart IVR applications. It is intended for developers, VoIP providers and businesses creating voice-agent solutions for existing telephony environments. A 30-day functional trial is offered; commercial licenses are sold annually by call capacity and service scope.
