Congrats to the AssemblyAI Voice Agents Challenge Winners!

August 7, 2025

Today's the day! We are excited to announce the winners of the AssemblyAI Voice Agents Challenge.

From accessibility-focused transcription tools that bridge communication gaps to elder care companions that enhance quality of life, participants demonstrated remarkable creativity and consideration in leveraging AssemblyAI's Universal-Streaming technology. We were impressed by the community's technical skill and diverse approaches to creating entirely new categories of high-impact, voice-powered solutions.

Thank you to everyone who participated! We hope you enjoyed working on your submission and are proud of what you accomplished.

Without further ado, our winners.

Congratulations To…

Business Automation Voice Agent Winner

@neilblaze and @achalbajpai created Wynnie, an AI shopping companion that transforms how people interact with e-commerce through natural language.

From multi-language voice recognition supporting 50+ languages to intelligent deal optimization and seamless payment processing, Wynnie does it all.

Real-Time Voice Performance Winner

The Hogwarts Spell Caster transforms spoken Harry Potter spells into instant keyboard actions for the Hogwarts Legacy game, bringing magical immersion to gaming through ultra-low latency voice commands.

@axrisi created an experience where voice commands feel as natural as pressing keys. The project perfectly demonstrates how sub-300ms latency can enable entirely new categories of interactive entertainment.

Domain Expert Voice Agent Winner

Enter @nadinev's AI Debate Room to meet an opponent that provides real-time domain expertise and topic-aware counter-arguments.

This intellectually rigorous debate partner combines real-time voice processing with a curated philosophical knowledge base.
