OpenAI Realtime Agents

OpenAI Realtime Agents is an open-source framework for building low-latency, event-driven AI agents that maintain continuous, multimodal interactions. It provides a reference implementation and tooling to create agents that can listen, speak, see, and respond in real time using OpenAI’s Realtime API. The framework handles connection management, streaming input and output, and synchronization of conversational state, allowing developers to focus on custom logic rather than low-level protocol details.

Key capabilities include support for voice and text interactions, extensible tool calling, and integration with external APIs or back-end services. The repository includes sample agents, client libraries, and example applications demonstrating scenarios such as live voice assistants, interactive customer support, real-time collaboration tools, and embedded agents in web or desktop applications. Developers can configure agent behavior, manage context, and define custom tools or actions that the agent can invoke dynamically during a session.
