Social RoboticsOpenAI opens Realtime API for speech-to-speech apps
Developers gained low-latency voice conversation for their own products, including potentially robots and companions.
At its DevDay event OpenAI launched the Realtime API in public beta, letting developers build apps with nearly real-time speech-to-speech responses. The API supports tool use and offers six preset voices, and can be connected to calling services. OpenAI said developers would be responsible for disclosing when users are talking to an AI. The release made the kind of conversational voice shown in GPT-4o available to third-party hardware makers, including builders of social and companion robots.
