Agora Launches Conversational AI SDK, Integrated with OpenAI’s Realtime API to Power the Evolution of Natural, Voice-Driven AI Experiences
Agora, Inc. (NASDAQ: API), a leader in real-time engagement APIs, has announced the launch of its groundbreaking Conversational AI SDK, seamlessly integrated with OpenAI’s Realtime API. This new offering empowers developers to create engaging, voice-driven AI experiences across various applications, allowing users to interact with AI in a more natural manner than ever before.
“Real-time conversational AI represents the next frontier in helping consumers and organizations globally harness the transformative potential of this technology,” stated Tony Zhao, CEO and Co-Founder of Agora. “Through our partnership with OpenAI, our Conversational AI SDK will enable developers to enhance interactivity in their applications by integrating natural voice interactions with OpenAI’s conversational intelligence, all supported by Agora’s advanced real-time audio streaming capabilities.”
The Conversational AI SDK utilizes Agora’s intelligent routing and ultra-low latency real-time network, which facilitates 60 billion minutes of interaction monthly across over 200 countries and regions. This enables human-like voice exchanges with OpenAI through the OpenAI Realtime API. The SDK also features AI echo cancellation and background noise suppression, ensuring accurate voice processing in any environment and making it easy for developers to establish reliable connections with OpenAI’s GPT models.
“By incorporating lifelike, interactive AI learning assistants into our platform, we can enhance personalized skill assessments, improve the learning experience for developers, optimize online testing, and create new global opportunities in skill assessment and education,” said Samuel Lim, CEO & Founder of Agora customer Grepp.
With this integration, developers can swiftly build powerful AI voice agents for various applications, including 24/7 customer support, concierge services, health and wellness, education and language learning, gaming, voice interfaces, and more.
“Agora’s Conversational AI SDK simplifies the integration of real-time voice interaction with AI in our IoT products,” remarked Yun Zhang, CEO & Co-founder of Wyze, an emerging Home Intelligence platform with scalable IoT devices and an Agora client. “Agora’s network is a game changer, offering the ultra-low latency response time essential for truly natural voice interactions with AI-powered smart devices.”
“The collaboration with OpenAI is set to unleash unprecedented creativity and utility in the AI landscape,” Tony Zhao concluded. “Whether it’s wellness coaching in healthcare, a 24/7 customer support agent, or a language tutoring app that helps students practice speaking skills, our Conversational AI SDK paired with OpenAI’s Realtime API will enable developers to conceptualize and build applications that were unimaginable just a few years ago. This will also allow end users to integrate AI into their daily lives in entirely new ways, and Agora is excited to partner with OpenAI to make this a reality.”
This development is particularly timely for the Philippines, where 86% of Filipinos are already integrating AI into their work. The global average stands at 75%, with the broader region at 83%. Notably, 83% of Filipinos also utilize their own AI tools at work, making Agora’s advancements instrumental in helping many embrace AI in their everyday lives.
