In building Vivik, an execution-grade telephony AI engine, we faced a brutal constraint: the human conversational loop.In psychoacoustics, a delay under 250 ms feels instantaneous. At 500 ms, users notice lag. Beyond 800 ms, conversations start feeling strained, and by 1.5 seconds, the illusion of real-time interaction collapses.That creates an extremely tight latency budget for voice AI:• Network RTT: 50–200 ms • LLM inference: 200–800 ms • TTS synthesis: 100–400 ms • ASR processing: 100–300 msTo consistently stay under a sub-500 ms SLA, the orchestration and media layers themselves must add almost no overhead.We initially built the entire system in Go. It worked well for concurrency and di

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
