What you'll learn

  • Set up AWS Bedrock for real-time voice agent use
  • Stream bidirectional audio with low latency
  • Use Python asyncio to manage non-blocking tasks
  • Handle interruptible speech and voice interactions
  • Send and receive Bedrock streaming events
  • Build reusable audio and streaming manager classes
  • Integrate DynamoDB for real-time data updates
  • Test and run a complete, deploy-ready voice agent

What if you could build a voice agent that feels like magic? One that listens and responds in real-time, is interruptible & smooth, and actually useful?

This course teaches you how to create that exact experience.

Using AWS Bedrock's Nova Sonic model and Python's asyncio library, you’ll build a fully functional, real-time voice assistant. You’ll stream audio in both directions, manage low-latency event flows, and integrate tool calls that let the agent interact with real data. Whether you're aiming to work in AI, backend development, or cloud-based applications, this course gives you the hands-on skills needed to prototype smart voice systems from scratch.

You’ll leave with a working agent...and a deep understanding of how it all fits together!
