Overview
Grok Voice Agent in VoxEngine
Grok Voice Agent API is available in Voximplant as a native VoxEngine connector, so you can build real-time voice agents with telephony-grade audio streaming and call control.
Benefits
- Built-in WebSocket connector: Voximplant handles WebSocket media, audio formatting, sample rate, and packet sizing so you can focus on call logic. https://voximplant.com/blog/grok-voice-agent-api-now-available-in-voximplant
- Real-time voice interactions: Grok streams responses as they’re generated for low-latency conversations. https://voximplant.com/blog/grok-voice-agent-api-now-available-in-voximplant
- All-in-one speech stack: STT and TTS are part of the Grok Voice Agent API (no separate providers required). https://voximplant.com/blog/grok-voice-agent-api-now-available-in-voximplant
- Context-aware responses with

Architecture
Voximplant’s Grok Voice Agent API integration uses a WebSocket connection to stream audio between VoxEngine and Grok. The Voice AI connector handles connection establishment, media conversion, playback, and audio capture.
Tool calls detected by Grok are signaling in events where you can implement custom logic and provide a response in your VoxEngine scenario.
Development notes
- The Grok Voice Agent API uses WebSockets only; Voximplant manages the connection. https://voximplant.com/blog/grok-voice-agent-api-now-available-in-voximplant
- Load the module with
require(Modules.Grok)and create aVoiceAgentAPIClientinside VoxEngine. https://voximplant.com/blog/grok-voice-agent-api-now-available-in-voximplant - Use
VoxEngine.sendMediaBetween(call, client)to bridge call audio to Grok. https://voximplant.com/docs/voice-ai/xai/grok - For barge-in, clear the media buffer on
InputAudioBufferSpeechStarted. https://voximplant.com/blog/grok-voice-agent-api-now-available-in-voximplant - Store your API key in
ApplicationStorage(for example underXAI_API_KEY). https://voximplant.com/docs/voice-ai/xai/grok
