What to expect

Explore production voice AI with Dex and OpenAI at an in-person London meetup on 19 August 2026, featuring engineering talks and networking.

A few hundred milliseconds can separate a natural conversation from an experience that feels like an answering machine. This engineering-focused evening examines how teams work within that narrow margin,and what it really takes to move real-time voice AI from a promising prototype into production.

Hosted by Dex in London, the event will explore how GPT-live’s real-time voice capabilities have raised expectations for conversational products. As the technology improves, difficult questions remain around responsiveness, interaction design and reliability when systems meet real users.

What the evening will cover

Engineers working on current voice products will discuss the technical challenges and product decisions behind production voice AI, including:

  • Reducing latency across real-time voice experiences
  • Managing turn-taking without making conversations feel rigid
  • Handling interruptions naturally
  • Designing and operating speech pipelines
  • Creating AI interactions that feel genuinely conversational
  • Understanding where voice systems still break in production

The speaker line-up brings perspectives from both Dex and OpenAI:

Rather than focusing only on the possibilities of voice AI, the conversation will address the practical constraints faced by teams building and shipping these systems today. That makes the meetup particularly relevant to software engineers, AI practitioners, technical founders and product builders interested in real-time interfaces, speech technology and production AI infrastructure.

Format and practical details

The event runs from 6:30pm to 9:30pm GMT+1 on Wednesday 19 August 2026. Following the technical talks and discussion, there will be drinks, nibbles and time to continue conversations with the speakers and other attendees.…
