How I used AI voice to help me play Magic: The Gathering

Built a voice assistant that answers Magic the Gathering rules and guides play by piping speech-to-text → LLM → text-to-speech, using Twilio Conversation Relay to connect a phone number to a Python app, an OpenAI model labeled GBT 40 mini for reasoning, and 11Labs voices (with Deepgram available for STT). The system stores session context, asks follow-ups, and explains mechanics; a live demo’s microphone failed but a prerecorded demo verifies the assistant works and the code is public.
