VoiceJar is a voice-first knowledge management app — you record a thought, and AI handles the rest (transcription, summarization, task extraction, organization). For this hackathon, we built Anya — a live voice AI assistant integrated directly into VoiceJar. Anya combines ElevenLabs Conversational AI with Firecrawl Search to create an assistant that doesn't just chat — it acts. What makes it different: Anya uses Firecrawl real-time web search as her primary source of truth, not just the LLM's training data. This means she gives accurate, up-to-date answers about things the model doesn't know — local businesses, current events, real-time information. When you ask "find the best sushi restaurant in Banská Bystrica" (or "Who is Jozef Štefan Pieninský?" which is NOT in the LLM training data), she doesn't guess — she searches the live web and gives you actual results with ratings and reviews. (The prompt includes instruction to "search the internet for current information (prices, news, weather, products, companies, technical specs). If unsure about a fact, search rather than guess.") This extends to everything she does. In the demo video, we asked her to "call 911" while being in Slovakia. She didn't just blindly dial 911 — she knew (via real-time context) that the correct emergency number for the European Union is 112, and dialed that instead. That's the kind of reliability you get when the assistant is grounded in live data rather than static training knowledge. Anya's capabilities — all hands-free by voice: • Real-time web search (Firecrawl) — accurate answers beyond training data • Phone calls — including emergency services with correct local numbers • SMS messages — compose and send without touching the phone • Spotify control — play music by voice • Contact lookup — find numbers and details from your phonebook The problem it solves: there are moments when you simply can't touch your phone — driving, cooking, running, or in an emergency. Anya handles those moments. You just speak, and she acts. Tech stack: Flutter (Dart), ElevenLabs Conversational AI (agent), Firecrawl Search API (client tool), Drift SQLite (offline-first storage).
