Build a Voice Agent in an Hour with Claude Code | AssemblyAI Workshop

In this live workshop, AssemblyAI Product Manager Dan Ince builds a fully working appointment booking voice agent from scratch, using only the AssemblyAI Voice Agent API and Claude Code.

No pre-written code, custom tools or MCP servers. Just a docs URL and a few prompts.

By the end, you'll have a working voice agent with a frontend UI, tool calling, and a deployment you can share with anyone.

What you'll walk away with:

-A working voice agent app you can run locally or deploy to Railway
-The exact Claude Code prompts used to scaffold backend, frontend, and tool calling
-A reusable architecture pattern (Python backend for token auth + HTML frontend) that keeps your API key off the client
-Techniques for appointment booking, tool chaining, and progressive tool reveal
-Practical tips on turn detection, echo cancellation, and reducing latency
-Answers from the most popular building FAQs
