AssemblyAI

We're thrilled to share 2 upcoming product announcements that will be released over the coming months and are set to redefine industry standards for Speech AI capabilities. We’re already seeing Speech AI adoption skyrocketing in 2025—AssemblyAI will continue to fuel that growth with the two major product breakthroughs we’re announcing today. ?? A first-of-its-kind, promptable Speech Language Model, which we’re calling Slam-1. Slam-1's multi-modal architecture processes both audio signals and linguistic context simultaneously, so it understands not just what words are being said, but what they mean in context. ?? A brand new streaming speech-to-text model for Voice Agents with industry leading latency, accuracy, and endpointing. As we look to what’s next for Speech AI, we’ve never felt more confident in the opportunity that exists in the market and that the next generation of great products are currently being built by companies.

I?just built a RAG app to chat with audio files: (powered by DeepSeek-R1 running locally) While most RAG systems are built over text, plenty of data exists as speech (audio) and we need reliable ways to do RAG over them. Here's the workflow of the app: ? Take an audio file and transcribe it using AssemblyAI. ? Store the transcript in a Qdrant vector database. ? Query the database to get context. ? Use DeepSeek-R1 as the LLM (running via Ollama) to generate a response. The whole app is orchestrated with LlamaIndex. The video below shows a demo of how it works! I've shared a link to the Github repo in the comments. ____ Find me →?Avi Chawla Every day, I share tutorials and insights on DS, ML, LLMs, and RAGs.
