Latency in AI phone agent responses typically ranges from 300-800ms for optimal, human-like interaction. Sub-second latency (under 800ms) is critical for natural conversation, with top platforms like 4Geeks aiming for 500-700ms. This includes time for speech-to-text (100-300ms), language processing (200-400ms), and text-to-speech (100-200ms).
Factors like model size, network infrastructure, and API calls can increase latency to 2-5 seconds if unoptimized, causing unnatural delays.
4Geeks’ LLM-agnostic platform and edge computing optimize for sub-700ms responses.
