Agora

Agora is a real time engagement platform that provides voice, video, live streaming, chat, signaling, interactive whiteboard and IoT APIs, and has extended them with a Conversational AI Engine. That engine lets developers connect any large language model with their choice of speech recognition and text to speech, producing voice agents with interruption handling and noise suppression, and add live avatars synced to speech. Agora Agent Studio offers a visual environment for designing, deploying and optimizing production voice agents. It is built for developers and product teams embedding calling, streaming or AI voice assistants into mobile, web and desktop apps, with SDKs for Android, iOS, Windows, Web, Electron, Flutter, React Native, Unity and Unreal, plus UI kits and no code options. The company cites sub 200 millisecond global latency, 99.999 percent uptime, and SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA compliance for enterprise use. Published pricing that could be verified covers support plans, billed monthly: Starter is free, Standard is $1,200, Premium is $2,900 and Enterprise is $4,900, with a customized Enterprise Plus plan available through sales.
