Voice chat

Youkore supports full-duplex voice conversations: you talk, the agent listens and responds with a natural-sounding voice — no walkie-talkie turns.

How to use it​

From any chat, click the microphone icon. Speak. Stop speaking. The agent answers. Continue.

Under the hood​

  • STT (speech-to-text): cloud providers (OpenAI Whisper, Groq, ElevenLabs, Deepgram) or the bundled local microservice (faster-whisper)
  • TTS (text-to-speech): cloud providers (OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Groq, Cartesia) or the bundled local microservice (Piper)
  • S2S (speech-to-speech, real-time): OpenAI Realtime today; Gemini Live planned

Pick providers per role in Settings → STT / TTS / S2S. Each can be toggled independently and you can stay fully local if you want.

Mobile (via WhatsApp)​

Connect WhatsApp (integrations) and you can have voice conversations with your agent by sending audio messages. The agent transcribes, replies in voice, and sends back.

Privacy notes​

If you use cloud STT/TTS, the audio leaves your machine. If you use local providers (Whisper local + Coqui TTS), nothing leaves.
