Using Gemini 3.5 Transcribe with Agora Conversational AI

Agora’s guide explains how to integrate Gemini 3.5 Transcribe into a server-side conversational voice agent built with the Agora Agents SDK for TypeScript, using Agora RTC for audio delivery and RTM for transcripts, metrics, state, and errors. The architecture keeps Google API keys and Agora App Certificates off the browser, while allowing Gemini transcription to be combined with independent LLM and text-to-speech providers. It covers creating the agent pipeline, configuring real-time transcription features such as language detection and custom vocabulary, securely generating RTC and RTM tokens, starting and monitoring agent sessions, and connecting a browser client to publish microphone audio and receive agent responses. The guide also emphasizes matching RTC and RTM identities and channels, waiting for the agent to join before expecting audio, restricting subscribed users in production, and following authentication, rate-limiting, token-renewal, and latency-monitoring practices. It notes that Gemini’s forthcoming Smart Transcription mode can clean conversational speech and resolve corrections for structured downstream uses, though direct Agora SDK configuration support is still planned.
