About This Skill
What it does
This skill enables AI agents to create fully configured voice AI assistants using the Vapi API. These assistants combine a language model, voice, and transcriber to handle real-time conversations via phone or web interfaces. You can customize aspects like the assistant's name, initial message, underlying language model, voice characteristics, and transcription services.
When to use it
- Automating customer support interactions through a virtual agent.
- Creating interactive voice response (IVR) systems for businesses.
- Building personalized AI companions for specific tasks or domains.
- Developing prototypes of conversational AI applications quickly.
- Generating assistants that can handle phone and web conversations.
Key capabilities
- Creates fully configured Vapi AI assistants.
- Supports various language model providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, and Deepinfra.
- Allows customization of the assistant's name and initial message.
- Provides options for voice selection via the Vapi provider.
- Integrates with transcription services like Deepgram.
Example prompts
- "Create an AI assistant named 'Order Taker' that greets users with 'Welcome to our restaurant!'"
- "Generate a support assistant using GPT-4o and Elliot as the voice."
- "Build an assistant for answering FAQs, using Claude 3 Haiku and Deepgram transcription."
Tips & gotchas
- You must have a Vapi API key (
VAPI_API_KEY) set up. If not, use the "setup-api-key" skill first. - The language model provider and specific models are subject to availability and pricing from those providers.
- Consider the length constraints (under 30 words) when defining the system message for the assistant's language model.
