Build a Live AI Voice Agent with Gemini 3.1 Flash Preview and Agora

Agora and thymia have partnered to leverage real-time voice AI technology, enabling developers to create low-latency, multilingual voice agents using Google's Gemini 3.1 Flash Live Preview and Agora's global network. This setup allows seamless integration of voice agents into various applications such as robotics and conversational commerce, with the ability to switch between multiple languages and dynamically generate audio responses. The guide provides a step-by-step tutorial to build a live voice agent that can understand speech in real-time and perform tasks using Agora's infrastructure. Two real-world demonstrations are highlighted: a robotics interface and a voice-powered food ordering kiosk, showcasing the technology's potential beyond traditional chat applications. Agora's network ensures efficient packet routing, jitter buffering, and real-time synchronization, allowing developers to focus on building their applications with the provided SDKs and APIs for different platforms.
