Summary

This tutorial (from July 2022, bookmarked in December) walks through building an AI friend you can actually call on the phone using GPT-3, Twilio Voice, and Twilio Functions. When you call the number, Twilio’s speech-to-text converts your speech to text, passes it to GPT-3 via the OpenAI API, gets a text response, and uses text-to-speech to speak it back. The entire pipeline runs in Twilio Functions (serverless), so there’s no infrastructure to manage.
