Hello! I'm glad to hear you're interested in using VAPI as an assistant with audio input and output. VAPI can indeed be used to process audio inputs without the need for a phone number. To achieve this, you would typically use the VAPI's Voice API to send an audio stream and receive a response.
Here's a high-level overview of the steps you might follow:
1. **Capture or Obtain Your Audio**: You'll need to have your audio input ready. This could be a recording or real-time audio captured from a microphone.
2. **Send Audio to VAPI**: You would make an API request to VAPI with the audio data. The specifics of this request depend on the VAPI's API documentation, which should detail how to structure the request and where to send it.
3. **Process the Audio**: VAPI will process the audio input using its voice recognition and AI capabilities to understand the request.
4. **Receive Audio Response**: VAPI will generate an audio response based on the input and send it back to you.
5. **Play the Response**: Once you receive the audio response from VAPI, you can play it back through your application's audio output system.
If you need more detailed instructions or if there's a specific part of the process you're unsure about, please let me know, and I can provide further assistance!
