About this tag
The openai realtime api tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about OpenAI's Realtime API for building live voice agents. Content highlights the API's support for WebRTC, WebSocket, and SIP connection types, enabling real-time speech, text, and image context in a single session. A key theme is the distinction between the API as a persistent model session versus a direct integration to business systems like CRMs or payment platforms.
