4. Voice and AI Processing
Coral uses artificial intelligence to understand your voice commands and natural language queries. Here's how this works:
- Speech-to-Text: Your voice recordings are sent to Groq's Whisper API for transcription. Audio is processed in real-time and is not permanently stored.
- Intent Processing: The transcribed text is analyzed by AI to understand your intent (e.g., creating a task, scheduling an event). This processing uses Groq's language models.
