Voice Agent Reliability & Operations

I implemented an agent operations reference with request counters, P50/P95 latency distributions, modeled dependency outages, bounded retry budgets and circuit-breaker behavior. A convincing conversation is only half the system.

Discuss this project

What I built

  • Implemented local request counters and a deterministic, seeded operations dataset.
  • Calculated P50/P95 from latency samples and modeled dependency failure, bounded retries and circuit breaking.
  • Kept synthetic outcomes separate from observed live service measurements.

Experiments & checks

  • No unbounded retries during downstream failure.
  • Circuit breaker must reject additional pressure when necessary.
  • P95 must be calculated from actual samples, not averaged from P50s.
  • Avoid recording phone numbers, secrets or full transcripts in public metrics.

Notes & limitations

I built the telemetry and failure models to separate request latency, tool failures and retries from whether a customer task was actually resolved.

Call metadata should be minimized, and transcripts must not land in public dashboards. Cost, quality and reliability need separate measurements.

The average looks lovely right up until the tail latency picks up the phone.
