System Overview

Freyavoice AI is built on a modern, scalable architecture designed to handle high-volume voice AI applications while maintaining low latency and high reliability.

High-Level Architecture

The platform consists of several key layers:

Application Layer

The application layer is where you interact with Freyavoice AI. This includes:
  • Dashboard: Web-based interface for managing agents, workflows, and settings
  • API: RESTful API for programmatic access
  • Webhooks: Event notifications for call events and status updates
This layer handles authentication, authorization, and request routing to the appropriate services.

Orchestration Layer

The orchestration layer manages call flow and coordinates between different components:
  • Call Router: Determines which agent or workflow should handle each call
  • Session Manager: Maintains call state and context throughout the conversation
  • Workflow Engine: Executes workflow logic, manages node execution, and handles branching
This layer ensures that calls are properly routed, state is maintained, and workflows execute correctly.

AI Processing Layer

The AI processing layer handles all AI-related operations:
  • LLM Integration: Connects to various language models (GPT-4, Claude, etc.)
  • Prompt Management: Handles system prompts, context management, and prompt optimization
  • Function Execution: Manages agent function calls and external API integrations
  • Response Generation: Converts AI responses into appropriate formats
This layer is responsible for the intelligence of your agents, handling natural language understanding and generation.

Telephony Layer

The telephony layer manages all phone-related operations:
  • SIP Handling: Processes SIP protocol for call setup and teardown
  • Audio Processing: Handles audio encoding, decoding, and streaming
  • Call Control: Manages call state, transfers, and routing
  • Provider Integration: Interfaces with telephony providers like Twilio
This layer ensures reliable call connectivity and high-quality audio transmission.

Data Layer

The data layer stores and manages all persistent data:
  • Call Records: Complete call history, transcripts, and recordings
  • Agent Configurations: Agent settings, prompts, and function definitions
  • Workflow Definitions: Workflow structures, node configurations, and connections
  • Analytics Data: Metrics, performance data, and usage statistics
This layer provides data persistence, querying capabilities, and analytics.

Component Interactions

Call Flow Architecture

When a call comes in, here’s how components interact:
  1. Telephony Layer receives the call and creates a call session
  2. Orchestration Layer identifies the target agent or workflow
  3. Session Manager loads or creates a conversation context
  4. AI Processing Layer processes each turn of conversation
  5. Function Execution calls external APIs if needed
  6. Telephony Layer streams audio back to the caller
  7. Data Layer stores all interactions and metadata

Workflow Execution Architecture

For workflows, the execution is more complex:
  1. Workflow Engine loads the workflow definition
  2. Node Executor processes each node in sequence
  3. Condition Evaluator determines routing paths
  4. Agent Invoker activates agents when needed
  5. Function Executor runs custom functions
  6. State Manager maintains workflow state
  7. Data Layer logs all workflow execution steps

Scalability Architecture

Freyavoice AI is designed to scale horizontally:

Horizontal Scaling

  • Stateless Services: Most services are stateless, allowing easy scaling
  • Load Balancing: Requests are distributed across multiple instances
  • Session Affinity: Call sessions are maintained through sticky sessions or shared state
  • Auto-scaling: Services automatically scale based on load

Database Scaling

  • Read Replicas: Database reads are distributed across replicas
  • Sharding: Data can be sharded by workspace or other dimensions
  • Caching: Frequently accessed data is cached for performance
  • Connection Pooling: Database connections are pooled efficiently

Telephony Scaling

  • Provider Distribution: Calls are distributed across multiple telephony providers
  • Regional Routing: Calls are routed to the nearest infrastructure
  • Failover: Automatic failover to backup providers if needed

Security Architecture

Security is built into every layer:

Authentication & Authorization

  • JWT Tokens: API requests are authenticated using JWT tokens
  • Workspace Isolation: Each workspace is isolated from others
  • Role-Based Access: Fine-grained permissions control what users can do
  • API Keys: Secure API keys for programmatic access

Data Security

  • Encryption at Rest: All data is encrypted when stored
  • Encryption in Transit: All communications use TLS/SSL
  • PII Handling: Personal information is handled according to privacy regulations
  • Audit Logging: All actions are logged for security auditing

Network Security

  • VPC Isolation: Services run in isolated network segments
  • Firewall Rules: Strict firewall rules control network access
  • DDoS Protection: Protection against distributed denial of service attacks
  • Rate Limiting: API rate limiting prevents abuse

Reliability Architecture

Freyavoice AI is designed for high availability:

Redundancy

  • Multi-Region Deployment: Services are deployed across multiple regions
  • Active-Active Setup: Multiple active instances handle traffic
  • Database Replication: Databases are replicated for redundancy
  • Provider Redundancy: Multiple telephony providers prevent single points of failure

Fault Tolerance

  • Circuit Breakers: Prevent cascading failures
  • Retry Logic: Automatic retries for transient failures
  • Graceful Degradation: System continues operating with reduced functionality if needed
  • Health Checks: Continuous monitoring of service health

Monitoring & Observability

  • Distributed Tracing: Track requests across all services
  • Metrics Collection: Comprehensive metrics for performance monitoring
  • Log Aggregation: Centralized logging for debugging and analysis
  • Alerting: Automated alerts for issues and anomalies

Performance Optimization

The architecture includes several performance optimizations:

Caching Strategy

  • Response Caching: Frequently accessed data is cached
  • CDN Integration: Static assets are served via CDN
  • Edge Caching: Cache at edge locations for lower latency

Connection Optimization

  • Connection Pooling: Reuse connections to reduce overhead
  • Keep-Alive: Maintain persistent connections when possible
  • Compression: Compress data in transit to reduce bandwidth

Processing Optimization

  • Async Processing: Non-critical operations are processed asynchronously
  • Batch Operations: Group operations for efficiency
  • Lazy Loading: Load data only when needed
