alookass · reddit · 2026-08-17
A non-engineer developer asks how to make an LLM reliably adhere to long prompts containing specific personas and call protocols in a voice agent context.
Current Issue:
- The LLM drifts, losing the persona and skipping required steps.
- Stack: Twilio (phone), Hume (voice), Claude (LLM), Node.js, Airtable.
The author is considering switching to Retell AI + Eleven Labs and asks if this is a prompt or stack issue, seeking solutions that maintain natural conversation while ensuring instruction adherence.
