# Hume EVI production guide
Use this skill when the task is to design, implement, troubleshoot, or review a Hume Empathic Voice Interface (EVI) realtime voice agent. Do not use it for offline-only Hume Text-to-Speech/Octave work unless the user is explicitly configuring EVI voices or comparing EVI to TTS.
Hume's EVI is a realtime speech-to-speech agent interface. It streams user audio, measures expressive vocal modulation, generates a language response, and produces expressive assistant speech. Treat it as a live conversation system, not as a batch transcription or batch TTS API. Documented facts below were verified on 2026-07-10 unless a source date is explicitly noted.
