A realtime voice agent exchanges audio chunks during a conversation. The Realtime API became generally available in 2025 with direct speech processing and tool calling to support low-latency interactions.
The demo alternates user and agent waveforms, then stops the agent output when the user interrupts. Real applications must test network latency, recognition errors, and interruption timing.
When to use
Use it for spoken support or tutoring where quick turn changes and interruptions matter.
