Until this demo the most impressive conversational experiences I've seen were Pi and Livekit's Kitt demo (https://livekit.io/kitt). I do not think kitt was quite as fast in response time (as retell) but incredibly impressive for being fully opensource and open to any choice of api's (imagine kitt with groq api + deepgram's aura for super low latency).

Retell focusing on all of the other weird/unpredictable aspects of human conversation sounds super interesting and the demo's incredible.

Things are moving so fast, wow.

We recently made it a lot easier to build your own KITT too: https://github.com/livekit/agents

But we don't handle interruptions yet, that's some cool stuff @yanyan_evie!

There are a lot of good VAD open source models that are easily configurable, and can be integrating in a day or 2 - checkout the silero vad model
