Build Your Own Voice Agent in 4 Hours

What it is A hands-on, four-hour build session in Bengaluru where participants ship a working voice AI agent for their own work or life. The premise is deliberately practical: most voice AI demos never get used again, so the goal here is to leave with something useful enough to actually run on Monday morning.

What you'll build Participants choose their own use case. Examples suggested by the organisers include:

• A morning briefing agent that reads out your calendar and priorities
• An interview coach that grills you before a real interview
• An agent that files tasks while you talk
• A voice assistant for a repetitive weekly workflow
• Or any personal idea you have been wanting to build

The emphasis is on usefulness over polish - a working tool beats a flashy demo.

Who it's for Engineers, product managers, founders and operators who want to build with voice AI. No-code builders are explicitly welcome, and prior expertise in voice AI is not required.

Stack and preparation Participants can build on platforms such as ElevenLabs, Vapi, Retell, OpenAI Realtime, or any comparable voice AI stack. Attendees are expected to have their preferred platform set up before arriving, since the session is build-focused rather than instructional from scratch.

Speaker BalaKrishnan works on Voice AI and Conversational AI at EkStep Foundation, in collaboration with People+AI, focusing on multilingual Voice AI systems for India and taking them from pilots to real-world scale. He brings over eight years of experience across AI and product, with hands-on work building and scaling Voice AI solutions.

Format The session runs from 11:00 to 16:00 IST on 27 September 2026 at IBC Managed Office Space Services Private, Bengaluru. It is a small-group format capped at 15 participants, with four registrations recorded at the time of listing, so early sign-up matters. The day is structured around continuous building - attendees should come ready to ship.
