Agora powers real-time voice, video, and interactive experiences at scale — trusted by thousands of developers worldwide to seamlessly embed communication into any application.
Agora Conversational AI helps you build real-time voice experiences faster, with the core components needed for speech-driven interactions in a single workflow. For hackathon teams, this makes it easier to prototype voice agents, assistants, and interactive AI applications with less setup and more focus on the product experience. To extend these projects further, you can also use TEN (Transformative Engagement Network), the Transformative Engagement Network, an open-source framework that supports modular voice AI development.
Join us and build the future of voice!
