A low-latency voice chatbot built on a Trigger.dev chat agent. Speech streams in both directions — ElevenLabs Scribe for streaming STT, the chat.agent running Claude Haiku, and ElevenLabs Flash for streaming TTS in the browser. Demonstrates chat.agent with Head Start for a fast first turn, server-side VAD endpointing, single-use token minting so provider keys never reach the client, a sliding history window, and sanitised stream-error handling.

Inline comments:
In `@voice-agent-demo/app/actions.ts`:
- Around line 3-4: Protect the server actions that issue chat session and
ElevenLabs provider tokens by requiring an authenticated server session,
deriving the chat identity from that session instead of accepting an arbitrary
chatId, and verifying ownership before minting tokens. Add per-user quotas or
rate limits for session and provider-token creation, preserving the existing
local-example behavior only where authentication and authorization are
explicitly unavailable.
In `@voice-agent-demo/app/components/voice-chat.tsx`:
- Line 80: Update the pending utterance handling around setPendingText so
committed transcripts are stored in a FIFO queue and each queued turn is sent in
arrival order once status becomes ready, rather than overwriting earlier text.
Coordinate tts.arm() with dequeueing the corresponding utterance, arming only
the turn being sent because the TTS token storage is single-use.
- Line 187: Update useScribe.start() to return whether microphone startup
succeeded, including token and microphone failure cases, then use that result in
the voice-chat startup flow to call setLive(true) only on success. Keep the live
state false when start fails so the user can retry immediately.
- Line 174: Update the farewell completion path around tts.say() so it releases
only Scribe and sets live to false; remove the stopListening() call that invokes
tts.stop() and closes the farewell socket before playback completes.
In `@voice-agent-demo/app/lib/use-eleven-tts.ts`:
- Line 309: Add unmount cleanup to useElevenTts by adding a useEffect teardown
that calls stop() and closes the current AudioContext via ctx.current, ensuring
playback, WebSocket, and scheduled audio resources are released without
affecting normal operation.
In `@voice-agent-demo/app/lib/use-scribe.ts`:
- Around line 66-67: Update the microphone start flow around getToken and
Scribe.connect to track the current start attempt and invalidate it in stop and
unmount cleanup. After getToken resolves, abort unless that attempt remains
active, and only reset starting.current for the active attempt.
In `@voice-agent-demo/README.md`:
- Around line 61-62: Update the setup commands in the README so they clone the
repository containing the voice-agent-demo directory and then change into that
directory, ensuring users can access .env.example and trigger.config.ts.
- Around line 159-160: Update the deployment guidance around the server actions
warning so production or publicly reachable deployment explicitly requires
authentication/authorization and abuse controls before proceeding; otherwise
remove the production deployment instructions. Keep the local-example guidance
intact and ensure callers cannot invoke token or session actions without
protection.
- Around line 31-33: Update the architecture summary in the README to mention
app/actions.ts as an additional server-side entry point, including its session
and token creation server actions and their use of server credentials. Keep the
existing Trigger.dev agent and route descriptions accurate.

- Farewell now plays: tts.say() returns immediately, so the old await + then stopListening() closed the socket before the goodbye could play. Release only the mic in that path and leave the TTS socket to drain. - scribe.start() returns whether the mic actually connected; the UI only flips to the live/Stop state on success, so a denied-permission or bad-token start no longer strands the button. - Cancel an in-flight mic start on stop()/unmount (attempt id), so a token that resolves after the component released the mic can't open an orphan socket. - Release the TTS socket, scheduled audio and the AudioContext on unmount. - README: correct the clone path for the examples-repo layout, name app/actions.ts as a server-side entry point, and make adding auth a required step before any public deploy. Skipped CodeRabbit's FIFO-queue suggestion for pending utterances: the mic is muted for the whole turn, so a second utterance can't be captured while one is pending — pendingText only ever holds one. Auth finding was withdrawn (this is a local example).

In `@voice-agent-demo/app/lib/use-scribe.ts`:
- Line 128: Update the connection event handlers in the Scribe lifecycle around
stop(), unmount cleanup, and attempt.current so events from closed or superseded
connections are ignored. Capture the connection generation when registering
handlers and guard every OPEN, transcript, and CLOSE callback against the
current generation before submitting utterances or updating state; preserve
normal handling for the active connection.
- Line 87: Update the start() flow around the started state so its promise
resolves only after getUserMedia() and audio-worklet setup complete
successfully, rather than on the WebSocket OPEN event alone. Track pre-ready
ERROR and CLOSE events as failures that resolve false, and add a bounded timeout
that also prevents the promise from remaining pending; preserve true only for
successful microphone readiness.

…tale events - start() now resolves true only on the Scribe OPEN event (socket connected and getUserMedia succeeded), and false on an error, an early close, or an 8s timeout. The client emits mic failures asynchronously after connect() returns, so the previous synchronous 'started = true' reported success for a denied mic. - Every event handler is guarded by an attempt generation, and stop()/unmount bump it. close() doesn't stop queued OPEN/transcript/CLOSE events in @elevenlabs/client, so a stale connection could otherwise submit a late utterance or clobber a replacement connection's state.

A new example:
voice-agent-demo— a low-latency voice chatbot built on a chat agent. You talk, it answers out loud; speech streams in both directions using ElevenLabs Scribe (streaming STT) and Flash (streaming TTS) in the browser, with thechat.agentrunning Claude Haiku in between.useTriggerChatTransport+useChat— no chat API route to maintainuiMessageStreamOptions.onErrorso model failures can't leak keys or stack traceslib/voice-config.ts) for the voice, model, personality, and latency trade-offsTesting
Typechecked and built against
@trigger.dev/sdk4.5.12, and run end-to-end — the agent answers through the chat playground and the browser voice loop (mic → agent → spoken reply) works across multi-turn conversations and interrupts. Chromium for the mic path.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
