Voice & realtime
voice and realtime conversational agents
GetStream/Vision-Agents GetStream/Vision-Agents is the de facto leader by adoption and offers the most complete ultra-low-latency, real‑time voice+video agent stack; teams should choose it when they want production-ready edge-hosted agents but be aware it assumes a cloud/edge service model rather than a fully self-hosted, game‑embedded, or ultra‑specialized avatar pipeline.
