go-vocode

A Go module for vocode.dev API client.

The official vocode.dev API documentation, upon which this Go module has been built, can be found here.

Get Started

Build the module

go build ./...

Run tests

go test ./...

You must sign up for the Vocode account and generate the API key, first, before you can use the API.

There are a few code samples available in the examples directory so please do have a look. They could give you an idea about how to use this Go module.

Important

Before you attempt to run the samples you must set an environment variable with the API key. These are automatically read by the client when it gets created; you can override them in your own code.

VOCODE_API_KEY: Vocode API key

Nix

There is a Nix flake file available which lets you work on the Go module using nix.

Just run the following command and you are in the business:

nix develop

Basics

Vocode lets you create conversational agents and make them available via a phone number.

Vocode currently provides two phone providers:

You must create an account with either before you can create a Vocode agent.

You can buy a phone number via the Vocode API, specifically the Buy Number API endpoint.

You wil associate this number with an agent you'll create later on.

You can then proceed with configuring your agent:

create a voice config
create conversational prompt config
configure agent actions

Once you've set up the phone number you can create an agent like so:

package main

import (
	"context"
	"flag"
	"log"
	"strings"

	"github.com/milosgajdos/go-vocode"
)

var (
	prompt  string
	voice   string
	actions string
)

func init() {
	flag.StringVar(&prompt, "prompt", "", "prompt ID")
	flag.StringVar(&voice, "voice", "", "voice ID")
	flag.StringVar(&actions, "actions", "", "comma separated list of actions")
}

func main() {
	flag.Parse()

	client := vocode.NewClient()
	ctx := context.Background()

	ax := strings.Split(actions, ",")

	createAgentReq := &vocode.CreateAgentReq{
		AgentReq: vocode.AgentReq{
			Name:                     "My Agent",
			Prompt:                   prompt,
			Voice:                    voice,
			Language:                 vocode.English,
			InterruptSense:           vocode.LowInterruptSense,
			EndpointSense:            vocode.AutoEndpointSense,
			IVRNavMode:               vocode.OffIVRMode,
			Speed:                    1.0,
			AsktIfHumanPresentOnIdle: true,
			Actions:                  ax,
		},
	}

	res, err := client.CreateAgent(ctx, createAgentReq)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed creating agent: %v", err)
	}
	log.Printf("created agent: %v", res)
}
