Episode 6: Beyond the Video Call: The Future of AI Voice
Code Space: Realtime Voice AI
Guests: Nina Kuruvilla (Co-founder, Daily) and Kwindla Hultman Kramer (Co-founder and CEO, Daily)
What does the future of human-computer interaction sound like? This episode features a deep dive with Daily.co co-founders Nina Kuruvilla and Kwindla Hultman Kramer, whose work is at the forefront of the voice AI revolution. Along with host Craig Dennis, they trace Daily's evolution from a developer platform for real-time video to a key player in building human-to-AI conversations.
Learn how the rise of generative AI prompted them to develop and open-source PipeCat, a framework that empowers developers to create their own voice-powered solutions. From spirited hackathons that bring the community together to the technical challenges of reducing latency in voice AI, this conversation covers the building blocks of our conversational future. We also get a personal look at their journey as married co-founders who navigate the startup world by sharing a core set of values, both at home and in the office.

Episode 1: A Million Jams and Countin…
Code Space: Hard-to-Repro Bugs
Guest: Dani Grant, CEO & Founder of Jam.Dev
Description
Odds are you know Jam.dev. They have 175k+ users (or “Jammers”), who have reproduced close to 6 million bugs (or “Jams”) and are ALL OVER the dev community; hosting meetups, podcasts, and sharing their journey all across the web.
But it didn’t start like that. Learn how Dani and her team turned the very big, but very little understood, problem of “hard-to-repro bugs” into a one-click solution that developers love and built a thriving community from scratch.
If you’re looking for a typical video interview, you’re in the wrong place.
Come hang out with Friends in Codespaces where Craig Dennis, AI Developer Educator at Cloudflare, invites some pretty awesome builders to share their story, battle an AI bot, play surprise games, and talk about the latest in emerging tech.
You’ll (hopefully) laugh, (likely) relate, but (definitely) learn something new!
I’m your host, Craig Dennis, and my Code Space is AI at the moment.
