Building Your Own Conversational Voice AI Which Streams Audio From a Browser Microphone to a Server (Part II)

This is the second blog in the series:
A best practice for streaming audio from a browser microphone to Dialogflow & Google Cloud Speech To Text.

In this first blog, I have introduced all the conversational components, and I addressed why customers would integrate their own conversational AI compared to building for the Google Assistant.

Today, I will make a start by building a client-side web application which uses a HTML5 Microphone with WebRTC, streaming the audio bytes to a Node.js backend.
