# Bluejay x Twilio x Rime x Groq: Halloween Voice AI Meetup Made with Restream Studio

[Bluejay (YC X25)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/get-bluejay/) hosted another incredible gathering of builders and thinkers in Voice AI alongside [Rime](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rime-ai/), [Twilio](https://www.linkedin.com/company/twilio-inc-/), and [Groq](https://www.linkedin.com/company/groq/), and graciously hosted by [SVB](https://www.linkedin.com/company/svb-financial-group/).

Leaders from across the industry shared candid insights on building and scaling Voice AI systems, featuring:

[Punn Kam](https://www.linkedin.com/in/punnkam/) Co-founder, [Conduit AI](https://www.linkedin.com/company/useconduitai/)

[Lily Clifford](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lilyjclifford/) CEO, [Rime](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rime-ai/)

[Aarush Sah](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aarushsah/) Head of Evals, [Groq](https://www.linkedin.com/company/groq/)

[Ankit Jain](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jainankit/) CEO, [Infinitus Systems, Inc.](https://www.linkedin.com/company/infinitusai/)

[Lauren Jo Sypniewski](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauren-jo-sypniewski-bb998375/) VP of Data Operations, [Deepgram](https://www.linkedin.com/company/deepgram/)

[Faraz Siddiqi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/farazmsiddiqi/), CTO, [Bluejay (YC X25)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/get-bluejay/)

🔑 Highlights from the discussion:

1. The toughest early technical challenges in bringing Voice AI products from zero to one — and what didn’t scale (but still had to be done)
2. Choosing and optimizing the right model stack for low-latency voice experiences
3. Preventing performance regressions when updating system prompts

The evening wrapped up with live Q&A, some open-mic stories, and in the spirit of Halloween, a few scary Voice AI horror stories from the panelists and how they conquered them. 🎃

Huge thanks to everyone who joined, and to our friends at [Rime](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rime-ai/), [Twilio](https://www.linkedin.com/company/twilio-inc-/), [Groq](https://www.linkedin.com/company/groq/), and [SVB](https://www.linkedin.com/company/svb-financial-group/) for helping make it such a special night.
