+# Vapi.ai Voice Agent with Deepgram STT & TTS
+
+Build a production-ready voice agent on Vapi.ai using Deepgram as the speech-to-text and text-to-speech provider. This example shows how to configure Deepgram-specific settings for optimal quality and latency, handle server-side function calls via webhooks, and manage the full conversation lifecycle.
+
+## What you'll build
+
+A TypeScript server that creates a Vapi voice assistant powered by Deepgram nova-3 (STT) and aura-2 (TTS), with an Express webhook endpoint that handles real-time function calls — in this case, a pizza order status lookup.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js 18+
+- Deepgram account — [get a free API key](https://console.deepgram.com/)
+- Vapi.ai account — [sign up](https://dashboard.vapi.ai/)
+- A tunnel tool for local development (e.g. [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) or [cloudflared](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/))
+
+## Environment variables
+
+| Variable | Where to find it |
+|----------|-----------------|
+| `DEEPGRAM_API_KEY` | [Deepgram console](https://console.deepgram.com/) |
+| `VAPI_API_KEY` | [Vapi dashboard → Organization Settings → API Keys](https://dashboard.vapi.ai/) |
+
+## Install and run
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+# Fill in DEEPGRAM_API_KEY and VAPI_API_KEY
+
+npm install
+npm run build
+
+# 1. Create the assistant (one-time setup)
+npm run create-assistant
+# Copy the assistant ID and add VAPI_ASSISTANT_ID to .env
+
+# 2. Start the webhook server
+npm start
+
+# 3. Expose your server (in another terminal)
+ngrok http 3000
+
+# 4. Update VAPI_SERVER_URL in .env with your ngrok URL + /webhook
+#    Then re-create the assistant or update it in the Vapi dashboard
+
+# 5. Make a test call from the Vapi dashboard or:
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/call \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"assistantId": "your-assistant-id"}'
+```
+
+## Key parameters
+
+| Parameter | Value | Description |
+|-----------|-------|-------------|
+| `transcriber.provider` | `deepgram` | Uses Deepgram for speech-to-text |
+| `transcriber.model` | `nova-3` | Latest and most accurate Deepgram STT model |
+| `transcriber.endpointing` | `255` | Milliseconds of silence before end-of-turn detection |
+| `voice.provider` | `deepgram` | Uses Deepgram for text-to-speech |
+| `voice.voiceId` | `aura-2-thalia-en` | Natural-sounding female English voice |
+| `model.provider` | `openai` | LLM provider for generating responses |
+| `model.model` | `gpt-4o-mini` | Fast, cost-effective model for conversational AI |
+
+## How it works
+
+1. **`create-assistant.ts`** provisions a Vapi assistant via the server SDK, configuring Deepgram as both the STT transcriber (nova-3) and TTS voice (aura-2-thalia-en), plus an OpenAI LLM with a system prompt and function definitions.
+
+2. **`index.ts`** runs an Express server with a `/webhook` endpoint. When a call connects, Vapi streams audio to Deepgram for transcription, feeds the text to the LLM, and synthesises responses with Deepgram TTS — all managed by Vapi's infrastructure.
+
+3. When the LLM decides to call a function (e.g. `check_order_status`), Vapi sends a `function-call` event to your webhook. Your server executes the logic and returns the result, which the LLM uses to continue the conversation.
+
+4. At the end of the call, Vapi sends an `end-of-call-report` with duration, cost, and a full transcript.
