Insights
Agora's launch of the Conversational AI Engine represents a strategic product expansion that addresses critical technical barriers in the voice AI market. The product solves two fundamental challenges that have AI voice interactions: ultra-low latency and natural conversation flow.
What makes this offering significant is its positioning as an infrastructure layer rather than a competitive AI model. By creating technology that works with any AI model (custom or commercial) and any text-to-speech solution, Agora establishes itself as an enabler in the AI ecosystem rather than just another competitor. This approach leverages their core expertise in real-time networking while opening new revenue opportunities.
The Oracle partnership adds enterprise credibility and scalability, potentially accelerating adoption among larger clients. Meanwhile, the planned integration with Agora's App Builder indicates a cohesive product strategy aimed at reducing implementation barriers through a no-code approach.
The breadth of applications highlighted—spanning customer service, IoT, retail, healthcare, education, and gaming—suggests a substantial addressable market. By specializing in optimizing voice-based AI interactions rather than developing general-purpose AI, Agora is creating differentiated value in a crowded market.
This product expansion effectively transitions Agora from enabling solely human-to-human engagement to facilitating human-to-AI interactions, potentially opening significant new market opportunities while building on their existing technical infrastructure.
The new solution allows developers to use any AI model to create voice agents optimized for
ultra-low latency and natural conversation flow
Agora's Conversational AI Engine provides developers with the flexibility to use any AI model, whether custom-built or from leading LLM providers, and any text-to-speech (TTS) voice solution for their AI agent. The Engine is designed to optimize real-time conversation flow. It enables faster, low-latency responses and intelligently pauses for interruptions in real time, enabling more natural dialogue with users.
"Most AI models don't yet offer the ability to interact via voice, and those that do haven't optimized the experience," said Tony Zhao, CEO of Agora. "Agora's solution will help drive the adoption of conversational AI by enabling seamless, natural voice interactions. With effortless integration and real-time, voice-driven experiences that have near-zero lag, we are removing barriers and unlocking new possibilities for businesses and end users alike."
With built-in background noise suppression, AI-driven acoustic algorithms, and real-time speech-to-text (STT), Agora's Conversational AI Engine ensures clear and accurate voice interactions in any environment. Powered by Agora's global Software-Defined Real-Time Network™, the Engine dynamically handles packet loss and minimizes latency, delivering exceptional performance across devices and networks. The solution is built on top of the TEN framework, an Agora-supported community project for building conversational AI. The Engine allows businesses to deploy natural and engaging real-time voice agents with maximum scalability and minimal effort.
Agora also plans to extend the capabilities of the Conversational AI Engine to its App Builder product, enabling a no-code approach to creating conversational AI experiences. App Builder allows users to create a simple UI and seamlessly integrate Agora's Conversational AI Engine without extensive coding, making it possible to deploy voice-driven AI experiences even more quickly.
Zhao continued, "Our goal is to bridge the gap between AI and human interaction, making conversations more intuitive, expressive, and impactful. We are dedicated to democratizing voice interactions between humans and AI models, making them a fundamental part of how people connect, communicate, and innovate."
To further enhance its Conversational AI Engine, Agora is partnering with Oracle as a key AI infrastructure provider, leveraging the scalable Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) solution to optimize performance, security, and efficiency.
"Agora's Conversational AI Engine solves two of the biggest hurdles in human-to-AI voice conversation—latency and wireless last mile challenges," said Hua Jiang, Alliance & Channel Director, Oracle APAC. "We are proud to collaborate with Agora to provide the infrastructure that enables more natural, responsive, and reliable voice-powered conversational AI."
