Reverse engineering a Viking VOIP phone protocol with Claude Code — Boris Starkov, Eleven Labs

Summary

Boris from 11 Labs demonstrates a creative technical challenge of reverse engineering an old Windows XP-compatible phone booth using AI, specifically Claude's code assistance, to create an interactive AI agent experience. The project involves transforming a legacy hardware device into a functional interactive exhibit that allows users to engage with an AI agent speaking in Michael Caine's voice and answer questions about British AI history. The practical takeaway highlights the potential of AI tools like Claude to not just build software applications, but also help solve complex hardware integration and reverse engineering challenges.
