CLIENT PROJECTVOICE & CHAT AI
Telehealth consult agent
An AI consult agent for a US telehealth company that talks with patients by text and voice. It was accurate but too slow for voice, so we rebuilt the response path to be fast without loosening the safety checks.
- Profiled every turn end to end and found most of the delay was between services, not in the model
- Moved reasoning into one streamed model call inside the app, beside the product catalog and safety logic
- Built interruptible real-time voice on LiveKit and OpenAI’s realtime model, with every health answer still coming from the checked text pipeline
- Shipped behind a feature flag, so the existing agent kept running unchanged

Concept projects shown for illustration. Your challenge comes next.
04 / OUR APPROACH
Human first.
Always.
Behind every useful piece of technology is a real person with a real problem. That’s where we start.
At TailWave.ai, we bring curiosity, thoughtful design, and practical engineering to the same table. The goal is simple: make things that make a difference.
Clear thinking. Careful building.
First, we listen.
We get to know your idea, your challenges, and the people you’re building for. Good questions lead to better foundations.
Then, we make it real.
From an early prototype to working software. We build in focused steps, with room for feedback along the way.
And keep making it better.
Test the details, learn from real use, and refine what matters. Thoughtful software has room to grow.
05 / KIND WORDS
In their words.
“Allen combines AI strategy and execution at a high level. His depth of understanding the objectives and landscape at rapid speed is unmatched.”
Joshua HostCEO, Thrivelab
“Allen took our multimodal extraction workflows from promising to dependable. He built the evaluation around them, dug into every failure, and kept iterating until the structured output was something we could put in front of clients.”
Lawrence NgoCEO, Ngo Consulting Partners
“Allen built us a computer-vision model that our own team can keep training, and he took the time to teach us how. We came away with a working tool and a much better understanding of the methods behind it.”
James CreasonOwner, Basin Ag Imaging
