The Prompt Pit brings developers on stage for a fast-paced, AI-assisted coding competition during the ClueCon Coder Games. Contestants compete head-to-head through timed challenges, live demos, and audience-driven twists until one builder makes it through the final round.
AI voice is exploding right now and this community has been preparing for this exact moment for twenty years.AI voice is exploding right now and this community has been preparing for this exact moment for twenty years.
We already cracked the brutally hard problems: sub-second latency at scale, media that never breaks, conversational state that survives reality, and infrastructure that stays rock-solid under fire. Those solutions are the foundation production AI voice actually needs.
In this keynote, Anthony Minessale shares how the builders behind FreeSWITCH and SignalWire are combining that battle-tested platform with modern AI, so we can all ship intelligent systems faster and more reliably. The smartest teams in the room aren’t starting the real-time stack from scratch. They’re standing on mature infrastructure so they can focus their firepower on the intelligence, the agent experiences, and the breakthroughs that will define the winners.
This is our category to win. Just like the great platforms before us (Linux, databases, the web), the biggest victories come when builders choose leverage and ship together instead of diluting effort on the plumbing. Everyone in this room is part of building what comes next, and the teams that move fastest on top of proven foundations are the ones who will own the future.read more

Using real open-source demos like GoAir and Holy Guacamole, he walks through the JSON payload generated at the end of a call and shows how it can be used to inspect transcripts, response timing, ASR, LLM, and TTS latency, barge-in behavior, SWAIG function calls, global_data snapshots, and state changes across the entire conversation.
The demo also introduces the open-source PostPrompt Viewer, a visual tool for analyzing completed Voice AI calls. Attendees will see how teams can turn raw post-call payloads into practical observability metrics like P95 latency, barge-in rate, tool execution overhead, and response verbosity.
A transcript tells you what happened on a call. SignalWire’s post-conversation payload helps show why it happened, where time was spent, and how the AI moved through the conversation. This is what carrier-grade Voice AI observability looks like after deployment.read more

Before you know it, your internal "fork" has drifted months behind the community "mainline." This isn't just an engineering headache;it is a massive programmatic risk that threatens stability, security, and future scalability.
The Solution: In this session, we will move beyond the code and look at the strategy of consumption. We will explore how Technical Program Managers (TPMs) can operationalize the relationship between internal product goals and external community cycles. We will treat "upstreaming" not as an act of charity, but as a critical dependency management strategy.read more

Live audio is streamed into an AI pipeline for STT → inference/translation → TTS, with streaming responses injected back into the call.We will cover:
- Bridging RTP audio into a streaming AI pipeline
- Defining conversational SLOs
- Instrumenting stage-level metrics and visualizing them
- Isolating AI failures and enforcing deterministic fallbacks in real-time telephony.The session concludes with a live demo of a real-time voice solution running on FreeSWITCH, complete with signaling visibility, media metrics, and AI pipeline timing.This talk is aimed at engineers building measurable, resilient Voice AI systems on open telephony infrastructure.read more

This talk draws a hard line between demo-grade and carrier-grade.I'll walk through SignalWire's three-layer AI Agent control plane: typed functions, state machines, and prompts, and why collapsing them into a single system prompt is the root cause of every production failure nobody posts about. I'll introduce System Directed AI, the architectural principle that separates code-driven business decisions from AI-driven conversational decisions, and show a concrete System Directed AI technique: zero-argument tool calls that read from validated stored state instead of letting the LLM re-supply data on every call. Fewer arguments, fewer failures, guaranteed consistency.Everything shown is open source at https://github.com/signalwire-demos. No demos, no happy-path videos. Just architecture, code, and the failure modes the industry skips.read more

This gap between prediction and decision is where many production systems fail.Real time systems generate a constant stream of events, yet most AI models are still designed to run offline and produce reports rather than actions. This gap between prediction and decision is where many production systems fail. Developers often have accurate models but no safe, reliable way to use them in live environments.
This talk focuses on how to design AI driven decision systems that act on live events with low latency and high reliability. It explains how models connect to event streams, APIs, and rule engines, and how decisions flow through real software systems. The emphasis is on architecture and system behavior rather than algorithms or math.
Using real examples from large scale retail and marketing platforms, the session highlights common failure modes such as delayed signals, noisy data, unstable actions, and lack of explainability. It then shows practical design patterns like guardrails, decision thresholds, rollback strategies, and continuous monitoring that allow AI systems to operate safely in production.
The ideas and patterns discussed translate directly to WebRTC, telephony, and real time communication systems where decisions such as routing, prioritization, or optimization must happen quickly and predictably. Attendees will leave with a clear reference architecture and practical guidelines they can apply to their own real time systems.read more
LLMs are great conversationalists, but can be terrible rule-followers.LLMs are great conversationalists, but can be terrible rule-followers. Point one at a customer call and it'll happily chat, but skip the questions you actually need answered, ask them out of order, or invent a path through your call flow you never intended. Old-school IVR solved determinism by removing the conversation entirely. That's not the trade we want to make.
In this live demo, I'll build an AI voice agent that answers real customer calls while staying provably on-script. You'll see how to constrain an LLM so it collects every required piece of information, asks the right questions at the right moments, and honors your call tree, without collapsing back into a rigid "press 1 for support" menu. The agent still improvises, handles interruptions, and sounds human;it just does so inside guardrails you define.read more

Session abstract:
The new SignalWire SDK changes how you build real-time apps — less wiring up event handlers, more describing what you want and reacting to state as it changes. This session is a working tour of it, from first import to a call with multiple participants and a working device picker.
We'll start with the shape of the SDK and the mental model behind it, then move through the pieces you'll touch in every project: authenticating properly, addressing the thing you want to reach, managing a call and the people in it, and dealing with the messy reality of microphones and cameras. Bring a laptop if you want to follow along.Agenda:SDK Overview — what's in the package, what changed, and the mental model to hold onto while you use it.
Observable State — the SDK surfaces state as observable streams instead of scattered callbacks. Why that's a better fit for real-time, and how to consume it without fighting the grain.
Authentication — how tokens work, what your backend is responsible for, and the mistakes that bite people in production.
Using Addresses — addresses as the unit of "the thing I want to reach." Looking them up, listing them, and dialing them.
Calls and Participants — starting a call and handling the participant lifecycle: joins, leaves, mutes, and everything that happens out of order.
Device Management — enumerating mics, cameras, and speakers, switching mid-call, and surviving permissions and hot-plugging.read more
