What we’re about
The Indianapolis Python Meetup (“IndyPy”) is a leading national group promoting the Python programming language and connecting the Python community. Organized by Six Feet Up, IndyPy draws Python enthusiasts from the entire Midwest (and beyond via Zoom) for regular events. In 2022, we celebrated 15 years of success with 2,300 members.
We are learners, employers, and enthusiasts of all kinds. All skill levels are welcome: if you are interested in Python, we are interested in you! Our goal is to create an inclusive, respectful environment that invites participation from people of all races, ethnicities, genders, ages, abilities, religions, and sexual orientations.

We also feature both single and multi-track options of speakers on a specific subject related to Python. Some of the topics we have covered so far include:
--Machine Learning, AI, Genetic Programming
--Web Framework Shootout
--Automating Processes with Python
--Django for Beginners
--Data Science with Python
--Testing & Debugging
--Python for Beginners

7:15 - 8:15pm: "Building Voice Agents: Unpacking the Pipeline" by Aaron Soellinger, research engineer
Voice agents are transforming the way we interact with technology, and integrating LLMs into the pipeline takes this innovation to the next level. Aaron will explore the core components of building a voice agent pipeline from scratch, including:- Transport: The foundational layer that ensures smooth audio data flow.
- Voice Activity Detection (VAD): Identifying when someone is speaking to optimize processing.
- Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR): Converting speech into text for analysis.
- Text-to-Speech (TTS): Generating lifelike responses for seamless communication.
You’ll learn how to get started with your first agent using off-the-shelf tools and explore practical examples of pipeline integration. This talk will cover technical details while providing insights for building your own voice-enabled applications. Takeaways include:
- A clear understanding of the architecture and components of a voice agent pipeline.
- Techniques for integrating LLMs to boost conversational intelligence.
- Best practices and tools for building robust ASR, VAD, and TTS systems.
- Real-world tips for deploying voice agents in Python-based environments.
This talk is ideal for Pythonistas looking to innovate at the intersection of AI and voice technology.
