Voice Providers let you bring your own speech and language infrastructure into pipeline voice agents. Instead of using Lyzr’s built-in voice stack, you connect your own streaming speech services and your own language model server. Open Connections > Voice Providers to configure them. The Voice Providers screen showing the BE8 voice gateway and OpenAI-compatible endpoint cards, each with a Setup action.
Note: Voice Providers apply to pipeline voice agents, which run separate speech-to-text, LLM, and text-to-speech stages. See Building Voice Agents for the difference between Realtime and Pipeline engine modes.

BE8 voice gateway

BE8 is a voice gateway you can bring for streaming speech-to-text (STT) and text-to-speech (TTS) in pipeline agents. Select Setup on the BE8 card to connect your own BE8 gateway, after which it becomes available as the STT and TTS provider when you build a pipeline voice agent.

OpenAI-compatible endpoint

The OpenAI-compatible endpoint option lets you bring any OpenAI-compatible LLM server as the language model in a pipeline agent, including Ollama, vLLM, and Groq-style endpoints. Select Setup on the OpenAI-compatible endpoint card to connect your server, after which it becomes available as the LLM provider when you build a pipeline voice agent.
