Voxta Gateway

A state-mirroring gateway for the Voxta conversational AI platform, providing high-level semantic APIs for downstream applications.

Overview

The Voxta Gateway is the single point of contact between the AI Streaming OS ecosystem and Voxta. It acts as a State-Mirror that observes Voxta state and broadcasts it to downstream applications, while providing Consumer-First APIs that only expose functionality actively used by registered consumers.

Key Features

• Startup Order Independence: Apps can start in any order and receive state snapshots on connection
• High-Level Semantic APIs: No downstream app needs to understand Voxta internals
• Selective Event Streaming: Each app only receives events it subscribed to
• Per-Client Observability: Debug UI shows traffic breakdown per connected app
• Sentence Buffering: Processes reply chunks into complete sentences for TTS
