Overview

Voice interfaces are back, but this time, they’re powered by LLMs. Whether it’s customer support, sales, workflow automation, or helpdesk triage, voice agents offer high efficiency and intuitive UX. The challenge is delivering low-latency performance while orchestrating models, tools, and APIs across a real-time stack. This orchestration requires tightly integrated components across speech, inference, memory, and action.

Cake provides a composable voice agent stack with everything you need: low-latency model serving (via vLLM), real-time ASR/TTS, agent orchestration with LangGraph or Pipecat, and full integration with CRMs, databases, and telephony providers. Stream responses with millisecond latency, retrieve real-time data, and act on it all with observability and compliance built in.

With Cake, your voice agents don’t just talk, they act, retrieve, and scale across your enterprise systems.

Key benefits

  • Pre-integrated components: Start with a ready-to-go stack including orchestration, LLMs, telephony, speech-to-text, and observability, so you can focus on building, not plumbing.

  • Rapid deployment and scaling: Deploy voice agents into your own VPC with autoscaling, policy controls, and built-in security. No need to build and maintain custom cloud infrastructure.

  • Real-time monitoring and rapid iteration: Track performance, identify bottlenecks, and optimize conversational flows with Cake-managed open-source observability tools. No black boxes.

  • Built-in AI/ML optimization: Go beyond simple automation by easily layering in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), custom models, and analytics all managed through Cake.

Build and iterate with speed

and full control

 

  • Plug-and-play support: for top-tier STT and TTS providers like Deepgram, ElevenLabs, Daily.co, and Cartesia.
  • Flexible orchestration: with the Cake Voice Builder for rapid voice agent assembly.
  • Version-controlled prompts and configs: with LangFuse for traceable iteration.
  • Dynamic model switching: using LiteLLM proxying to toggle between OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, and self-hosted models.
  • Built-in observability: with OTEL-compatible traces, TTFB spans, A/B testing via ClickHouse, and Grafana dashboards.

MORE AGENTS, LESS OVERHEAD

Scale fast without breaking

the bank

 

  • Efficient scaling: with Ray for parallelized execution and hundreds of agents (at a fraction of typical voice SaaS costs).
  • LiteLLM integration: distributes API calls across multiple services, with failover protection for high availability.
  • Custom observability: tools backed by LangFuse and ClickHouse facilitate A/B testing for performance optimization.
  • Independent voice components: like Deepgram, ElevenLabs, and Cartesia ensure high-quality speech experiences at scale.
  • Vendor-agnostic architecture: lets you run large-scale deployments without lock-in or brittle dependencies.

SMARTER RETRIEVAL, CLEANER ARCHITECTURE

Stop the egress. Bring voice to your data, not vice versa.

 

  • Bring-your-own vector store: with support for Milvus, Weaviate, pgvector, and more; and keep them running in your own environment.
  • End-to-end control: with zero data egress, no vendor lock-in, and no reliance on walled gardens or black-box infrastructure.
  • Better voice experiences: powered by real-time retrieval, secure context handling, and seamless orchestration.

THE CAKE DIFFERENCE

Thinline

 

From brittle voice bots to scalable,

agentic architecture

vendor-approach-icon

Traditional IVR / voice bot

Rigid, scripted, and frustrating: Menu trees and keyword-based bots that often confuse more than they help.

  • Predefined flows that can’t adapt mid-conversation
  • Fails on ambiguous or multi-turn queries
  • Requires constant manual scripting to update
  • Poor handoff to human agents and no learning over time
