Deepgram CPO: voice AI is now continuous listening/thinking/speaking on a real-time context bus

schwentker · x · 2026-11-01

Deepgram CPO Ed Anuff describes a shift in voice AI architecture: no longer "listen, think, speak" in turns, but continuous listening, thinking and speaking connected by a real-time context bus — "speech-to-speech without the black box."

CEO Scott also shared a north star of "complaint-driven development": you should be able to complain at any moment and the product should get better in seconds — an aspiration, not yet a product promise.
