Timeline (last 90 days)
In a comparative evaluation, AssemblyAI leads in accuracy and API flexibility, while Otter.ai and Microsoft Teams have greater advantages in ease of use and office ecosystem integration.
AssemblyAI supports streaming real-time transcription via WebSocket and provides a Node.js example.
The typical pipeline involves uploading a meeting recording to the cloud, which automatically triggers a transcription service (such as AssemblyAI, Whisper API, or Otter.ai), passing the transcribed text to an LLM for action item extraction, and then writing the results into a task tool via API.
Voice data contains the speaker's voiceprint characteristics, which constitute biometric information; most mainstream ASR solutions rely on cloud-based APIs (such as Google Speech-to-Text and AssemblyAI), causing audio or text to be processed by third-party servers.
AssemblyAI receives approximately 1,000 API registrations per day.
AssemblyAI is a company focused on voice AI infrastructure, developing its own speech-to-text foundation models and expanding into a full voice agent technology stack.
The off-the-shelf customer service bot AssemblyAI initially purchased resolved only about 10% of conversations.
Joey is AssemblyAI's self-developed AI customer service agent, built on the Claude Agent SDK, capable of managing infrastructure, owning a file system, writing and debugging code, and calling tools.
Any customer who contacts AssemblyAI—whether through the website chat window, by contacting sales, or by emailing the support inbox—is first received by Joey rather than a human.
The team added voice capability to Joey using AssemblyAI's own Voice Agent API, chaining speech-to-text, LLM, and text-to-speech together via a single WebSocket connection.
