Matt Lawler brings hands-on production experience building internal support and voice agents at AssemblyAI. In his Deepline x Exa lightning talk he walked through Joey — an internal support/onboarding agent for AssemblyAI's high-volume self-serve funnel — and argued that latency and context design (product docs, status, interaction history, debug tools), not transcription accuracy alone, are what make real-world voice/support agents work. Worth attending if you are building or evaluating agent pipelines and want concrete, shipped lessons.
