Privacy-first AI voice architecture with provider-agnostic speech workflows
AIspeaky combines a local speech engine, desktop interface, backend services for accounts and licensing, and integrations with multiple AI, STT, and TTS providers.
Voice and AI workflows can expose sensitive user input if provider routing, credentials, and system boundaries are poorly designed.
The architecture uses a privacy-first relay pattern, provider-agnostic pipeline design, contract-first backend work, and a hybrid desktop/cloud model.

Sensitive AI workflow design, provider abstraction, secure relay patterns, hybrid desktop/cloud architecture, and contract-first governance.
The case demonstrates how AI voice systems can be designed with privacy, provider flexibility, local/cloud boundaries, licensing, governance, and implementation scale in mind.
Useful for teams building AI systems that must handle sensitive user input, multiple providers, voice workflows, desktop/cloud boundaries, or privacy-first architecture.
- 01Swapping AI / STT / TTS providers without rewriting the pipeline
- 02Shipping desktop + cloud increments under one contract surface
- 01Privacy relay limiting what reaches third-party providers
- 02Hexagonal architecture with explicit ports for providers and storage
- 031,493 test files supporting refactor confidence
Engagements where this case applies
Sensitive implementation details are omitted from the public version. Deeper technical breakdowns may be discussed during discovery where appropriate.
