Agora integrates OpenAI’s Realtime API for enhanced conversational AI
Features automated greetings, mixed-modality, and selective attention locking
Simplifies development of human-like AI agents for multiple industries
Robotics startup Carbon Origins leverages integration for hands-free operations
Supports customer support, education, gaming, and fan engagement
Combines OpenAI’s MLLM with Agora’s global real-time network
Agora’s integration with OpenAI’s Realtime API, the first multimodal large language model (MLLM) on its platform, enables developers to build AI agents with human-like responsiveness. “Real-time multimodal interaction is the missing piece for AI agents to feel truly human,” said Tony Zhao, CEO of Agora. By reducing development complexity, Agora’s Conversational AI Engine accelerates time-to-market for applications across diverse sectors.
The enhanced engine offers advanced capabilities to ensure natural interactions:
Automated Greetings: Provides instant session awareness for a welcoming user experience.
Mixed-Modality Interaction: Allows seamless switching between voice and text inputs.
Flexible Turn-Detection: Offers developers control over conversational flow.
Selective Attention Locking: Filters ambient noise for uninterrupted engagement, using Agora’s proprietary technology.
These features streamline the creation of AI agents for customer support, education, gaming, and more.
Robotics startup Carbon Origins is leveraging Agora’s integration with OpenAI’s Realtime API to enhance efficiency. “The combination of OpenAI’s Realtime API and Agora’s conversational AI technology enable hands-free control of our autonomous robot fleet,” said Amogha Krishna Srirangarajan, CEO and Founder of Carbon Origins. This powers their Constellation AI solution, automating complex tasks and allowing operators to focus on strategic orchestration.
Agora’s Conversational AI Engine, paired with its global real-time network (SDRTN®), simplifies application development while delivering superior performance. The integration supports a wide range of use cases, from customer service to fan engagement, by combining OpenAI’s advanced language model with Agora’s purpose-built developer toolkit.
Agora’s expanded support for OpenAI’s Realtime API solidifies its position as a leader in conversational AI, offering developers powerful tools to create scalable, engaging, and human-like AI experiences across industries.
Agora is the global leader in real-time engagement, providing developers with simple, flexible, and powerful APIs to embed real-time conversational AI, voice, video, interactive live streaming, and chat into their applications and IoT devices.
