Neil Zeghidour Says Today's Voice Agents Are Walkie-Talkies — And the Fix Is Splitting Them in Two

Neil Zeghidour has criticized current voice agents for their limitations, comparing them to walkie-talkies due to their turn-based interaction model.

This architectural change aims to address fundamental constraints in how voice agents currently process and respond to user input.
