Outcome
Explores what changes when the AI interface has no screen and interruption is part of the conversation.
§ 1Interaction
A local wake-word model opens a full-duplex conversation. The implementation can route among realtime voice providers while keeping the same physical interaction.
§ 2What it tests
Voice exposes latency, turn detection, cancellation, audio-device recovery and cost in ways a text demo hides. The device is a compact test bed for those limits.
