Vapi Hosts Fleet Week Yacht Event for Voice AI Builders

Vapi gathered over 30 voice AI builders on a chartered yacht in San Francisco Bay on October 8 for Fleet Week, with fireside chats from Deepgram, Kouper Health and Coval plus a technical workshop. Attendees focused on GPT Live speech-to-speech, which cuts latency and yields fluid turns but trades off granular control over key terms and scripting. Discussions also covered backchanneling, perceived latency and platform versus in-house voice stacks.
