TIL: RJ11 (old telephone cord) cables will plug into RJ45 (ethernet) plugs and connect the middle 4 lines. This is extremely useful in case you want to wire up old phone lines and you happen to have ethernet-oriented parts that are plentiful, cheap, and still manufactured.

Totally unrelated: have any fellow weirdos wired up an analog (POTS) phone system in their house, to use for local* calls?

Hey fellow #EMFCamp #telephone geeks!

Can you tell me what model of phone this is?

Or better - can you find me a schematic or pin out on the terminal block.

We have one on-site that is behaving oddly (worked fine at home!) and I suspect I’m missing something important in the way I wired it!

I think it might be Siemens?

Building a Local AI Information-Gathering Phone Line

https://youtu.be/Yodq7gG_F3I

Modern voice agents are often presented as cloud services: a caller speaks, a remote platform transcribes the audio, a hosted language model generates a response, and another service synthesizes the reply.

For this project, I wanted to explore a different approach.

The goal was to build a locally controlled conversational phone-line prototype capable of gathering structured information from a caller while maintaining context throughout the interaction.

The system uses a locally hosted Gemma 4 model for dialogue, local speech recognition for transcription, and Kokoro 82M for text-to-speech. A custom Python application coordinates the entire interaction and presents it through a phone-style interface.

The result is an automated intake agent named Eva.

The Test Scenario

For the demonstration, Eva was configured to behave like a corporate information-gathering agent.

The caller began with a simple greeting. Eva then guided the conversation through a sequence of intake questions:

• Full name
• Company or organization
• Callback number
• Email address
• Case, ticket, order, or reference number
• General reason for the call
• Product or service involved
• Date and approximate time of the reported issue

The caller did not have to complete a rigid form or choose numbered menu options. Instead, the information was collected through natural conversation.

A portion of the interaction looked like this:

Eva: Hello. Thank you for contacting us. My name is Eva. To begin, may I please have your full name?
Caller: John Michael Smith.
Eva: Thank you, John Michael Smith. May I also have the company or organization you are calling from?

As the conversation continued, Eva retained the previously supplied information and advanced to the next relevant question.

When the caller explained that they were upset about new automated systems, Eva did not restart the intake process or lose track of the conversation. She asked a follow-up question to determine which product or service was involved.

That contextual continuity is the most important part of the demonstration.

The Core Architecture

The system is built as a real-time conversational pipeline:

 Microphone input        ↓  Speech-to-text        ↓  Conversation controller        ↓  Gemma 4 through LM Studio        ↓  Kokoro 82M text-to-speech        ↓  Audio playback  

Each component has a distinct responsibility.

The speech-to-text layer converts the caller’s voice into text. The conversation controller maintains the active call state and sends the transcript to the language model. Gemma 4 evaluates the current message alongside the prior conversation and produces the next response. Kokoro 82M then converts that response into spoken audio.

The Python application ties these systems together.

It manages:

• Microphone capture
• Voice activity detection
• Turn-taking
• Conversation history
• System prompts
• Model requests
• Voice generation
• Audio playback
• Call state
• Session termination
• Persistent memory
• Transcript logging

The language model is only one component of the system. The surrounding orchestration is what makes the experience feel like a coherent call rather than a sequence of unrelated AI requests.

Why Conversation History Matters

A language model does not automatically remember everything that happened earlier in a call.

The application must preserve the conversation and provide the relevant history with each new request.

Without that context, an information-gathering agent might repeatedly ask for the caller’s name, forget which fields were already completed, or ask questions in an inconsistent order.

In this prototype, the conversation controller tracks both sides of the exchange:

 System instructions  Caller message  Agent response  Caller message  Agent response  

That history allows the model to understand which information has already been collected and what still needs to be asked.

It also enables more natural follow-up behavior.

For example, when the caller says:

“I am upset about the new automated systems.”

Eva can interpret that statement as the reason for the call and ask which product is affected, rather than simply continuing through an unrelated checklist.

Structured Behavior Without a Traditional Form

One of the interesting aspects of this design is that the model can follow a structured intake objective without forcing the caller through a conventional form.

The system prompt defines the agent’s responsibilities, tone, required information, and conversational boundaries.

The agent can then gather the same fields a form would collect while allowing the caller to speak naturally.

This creates a hybrid between two familiar systems:

 Rigid automated phone menu              +  Human-style conversational intake  

The structured requirements remain in place, but the interface becomes conversational.

That can be useful in situations where callers may not know how their problem should be categorized before they begin speaking.

Local Inference and Control

The language model is served locally through LM Studio rather than being accessed through a commercial cloud API.

This provides direct control over:

• Model selection
• System prompts
• Conversation history
• Context length
• Generation settings
• Data retention
• Personality configuration
• Memory behavior

The text-to-speech component is also hosted locally.

That means the central conversation does not depend on sending every transcript and model response to an external AI provider.

Local inference introduces its own technical requirements, including GPU resources, model management, latency optimization, and service coordination. However, it also gives the developer considerably more control over the complete conversational stack.

Voice Activity Detection

The caller does not need to press a push-to-talk button during normal operation.

The application monitors the microphone and determines when speech begins and ends.

This process is known as voice activity detection.

The system moves through several internal states:

 Listening     ↓  Speech detected     ↓  Recording     ↓  Silence detected     ↓  Transcribing     ↓  Thinking     ↓  Speaking     ↓  Listening  

This state-based design is important because the microphone, speech model, language model, and voice model all operate at different speeds.

The application must know which component currently owns the interaction.

It must also prevent the microphone from transcribing the AI’s own voice as new caller input.

Persistent Memory

The application also includes persistent conversational memory.

This allows the agent to retain selected context between separate sessions rather than beginning every call as a completely blank system.

The memory architecture separates several types of information:

• Current-call conversation
• Recent message history
• Summaries of earlier calls
• Long-term memories
• Archived transcripts

This distinction matters because sending every previous conversation back into the model would eventually become inefficient.

Instead, recent dialogue can remain verbatim while older interactions are summarized. Important details can be stored separately and included only when relevant.

The application, not the language model, owns this memory.

That is an important architectural principle.

The model generates language, but the surrounding software determines what is saved, retrieved, discarded, or presented as context.

The Interface

The application was designed to resemble a live phone call rather than a conventional chatbot window.

The interface includes:

• Start and hang-up controls
• Call timer
• Current system state
• Editable system prompt
• Agent profiles
• Live transcription
• Model responses
• Diagnostic timing information
• Persistent memory controls
• A reactive circular audio visualization

The visualizer changes according to the active state.

The caller’s speech is represented in yellow. Model processing uses blue and purple states. The generated AI voice is shown in green.

This is primarily an aesthetic feature, but it also provides immediate feedback about what the system is doing.

A user can see whether the application is listening, transcribing, waiting for the model, generating speech, or playing audio.

What This Demonstration Proves

This experiment demonstrates that a locally hosted language model can operate as the conversational core of an automated information-gathering line.

More specifically, it shows that the system can:

• Listen for natural speech
• Convert speech into text
• Preserve conversational context
• Collect information in sequence
• Ask relevant follow-up questions
• Produce spoken responses
• Maintain a consistent agent identity
• Store and recall previous conversational information
• Operate through a custom local interface

The prototype is not intended to replace a production call center in its current form.

A production deployment would require additional work in areas such as authentication, encryption, regulatory compliance, consent, auditing, data validation, failure recovery, telephony integration, and human escalation.

But the central conversational mechanism is functional.

The Larger Possibility

The broader significance of this project is not limited to corporate intake.

The same architecture could support many types of locally controlled voice agents:

• Technical support intake
• Appointment pre-screening
• Internal help desks
• Interactive training systems
• Voice-based surveys
• Game characters
• Accessibility tools
• Personal assistants
• Research interviews
• Educational tutors

The underlying pattern remains the same:

 Listen  Understand  Maintain context  Respond  Remember  

What changes is the system prompt, the information being collected, the voice, and the surrounding workflow.

Final Thoughts

The project began as a simple idea: speak into a microphone, send the transcript to a local model, and play the response through a local voice engine.

Once persistent memory, automatic voice detection, agent profiles, structured prompts, call archives, and state management were added, it became something more substantial.

It became a locally controlled conversational-agent platform.

The most important lesson from the project is that the model itself is not the complete system.

A useful voice agent emerges from the coordination of perception, context, reasoning, memory, expression, and interface design.

Gemma 4 provides the conversational intelligence.

Kokoro 82M provides the voice.

The Python application provides the structure that allows them to behave like a single coherent agent.

Finland’s last analogue landline phones go silent after 150 years.

Finland’s last landline call has been made as the Nordic country becomes the latest to retire copper-wire phones in favour of fibre.

Estonia, the Netherlands, Norway and Spain have already made the jump as countries across the world roll out fibre optic cable that can handle both internet services and voice calls.

« En prison, il n’y a rien à voir, rien à faire. J’oublie le silence qui n’existe pas à la Santé où il y a beaucoup à entendre. Le bruit y est hélas constant. À l’image du désert, la vie intérieure se fortifie en prison. »

Avant même de parler politique, je préfère préciser une chose : je ne fais pas de politique. Ce n’est pas ce qui m’intéresse dans cette lecture.

Ce que j’aime avant tout, ce sont les mots, la culture, les réflexions qu’un livre peut transmettre… et honnêtement, il faut reconnaître une chose à Nicolas Sarkozy : il sait parler.

Malheureusement, mon application de lecture a complètement buggué et j’ai perdu toutes les phrases que j’avais surlignées… ce qui me frustre énormément, parce qu’il y avait beaucoup de passages que j’avais réellement envie de garder et de vous partager.

Mais justement, si j’ai pris le temps de souligner autant de citations, c’est bien que cette lecture m’a marquée d’une certaine manière.

Dans ce livre, il parle de l’injustice qu’il estime avoir vécue, mais aussi de la prison en elle-même : la difficulté d’adaptation, l’envers du décor, le quotidien carcéral, le personnel pénitentiaire, et surtout ce retour brutal à une autre réalité.

Au-delà de l’image publique, on découvre aussi un homme qui parle de sa famille, de ses proches, et de la force que l’amour peut apporter dans des moments particulièrement difficiles.

Et c’est probablement ce qui m’a le plus intéressée dans cette lecture : cette part plus humaine, plus intime, loin des simples débats politiques.

Honnêtement, j’ai énormément apprécié cette lecture. Je ne m’attendais absolument pas à aimer autant.

J’avais une certaine appréhension avant de commencer, notamment par peur d’une lecture compliquée, avec un vocabulaire trop lourd ou trop politique… mais pas du tout.

C’est limpide, bien écrit, posé.
La lecture se fait naturellement, avec fluidité, sans chercher à en faire trop. Et c’est justement ce qui la rend aussi accessible et agréable à découvrir.

Je n’ai jamais douté de sa culture ni de son amour des mots, déjà à l’époque où il était beaucoup plus médiatisé. Mais ici, il ne fait que confirmer l’image que je pouvais avoir de son tempérament et de sa manière de réfléchir.

Je ne connais évidemment pas l’homme personnellement, mais il dégage quelque chose de profondément charismatique dans cette lecture. Et surtout, au fil des pages, on ressent davantage l’homme avant le politicien.

Ce que j’ai particulièrement apprécié, c’est que l’on ne découvre pas uniquement son quotidien en détention. On découvre aussi ses réflexions, son regard sur ce qu’il traverse, sa manière d’analyser les événements et de s’accrocher à ce qui compte vraiment pour lui. Derrière le personnage public, il y a des doutes, des émotions, des souvenirs et une profonde attache à ses proches.

Au final, j’ai refermé ce livre avec le même sentiment que celui qui m’a accompagnée tout au long de ma lecture : celui d’avoir découvert un témoignage humain avant tout. Que l’on partage ou non ses opinions, ce n’est pas ce qui a guidé mon intérêt ici. J’y ai trouvé une plume cultivée, une réflexion sincère et un récit qui m’a bien plus captivée que je ne l’aurais imaginé.

Une lecture humaine, réfléchie et étonnamment accessible, qui m’a bien plus marquée que ce à quoi je m’attendais.

« Mes Extraits »

On apprend ici qu’on peut tout vous enlever, sauf la façon dont vous vous tenez. La dignité est la dernière des richesses que je peux garder.

Le cerveau est équipé pour que l’être humain perçoive et anticipe la menace qui l’entoure. Nous sommes toujours inquiets à propos du futur. Ce qui est la meilleure façon de se gâcher le présent.

Évaluez ceci :

I’ve just bought a second hand book* published in May 1955.

I did not expect to get a handwritten note from the person responsible for its publication!

Basically the standard that describes how the post-war telecoms networks operated at an international level

Today I learned that the UK Ofcom has allocated ranges of telephone numbers for various geographic areas that will not be allocated to subscribers, but are reserved for use by the entertainment industry. Further, they have noted certain sub-ranges to represent unlisted numbers within those blocks.

One hundred fifty years ago today, the great Centennial Exhibition was underway in Philadelphia, and Alexander Graham Bell decided to go. “Dear Mama," he wrote.

"Here I am in New York on my way to Philadelphia…. It will be of extreme importance to me to meet Sir William Thomson [Lord Kelvin] and other prominent electricians—so as to interest them in my inventions.”

And, while on the subject of #telephone boxes, this one suddenly appeared near a #farmyard that is being #redeveloped as #housing. It's around 300yds from any public place.

A large chunk of the back wall on which the telephone would once have been hung has been cut away. It's nearly 0.5" thick. I wonder if it was bought for the steel to #repair something on the farm?
