SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams design and ship production-grade spoken AI interactions that can listen, respond naturally, support interruption, manage turn-taking, and use external tools without exposing credentials or making unsafe claims.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Realtime Architecture: Choose and configure speech-to-speech sessions using WebRTC for browser and mobile clients or WebSocket for trusted server integrations.
  • Conversation Control: Tune voice activity detection, interruption behavior, session lifecycle, spoken prompts, latency, context growth, and audio handling.
  • Production Guardrails: Implement server-side authentication, validated tool calls, approval gates for side effects, consent, privacy, voice rights, safety escalation, observability, and cost controls.
  • Use Case: Build a customer-support voice agent that answers order questions, handles barge-in, calls an authenticated order lookup tool, and requires confirmation before refunds or cancellations.

Quick Start

Use the openai-realtime-voice skill to design a browser-based support agent with WebRTC, server-side session authorization, tuned VAD, approved order lookup tools, explicit refund confirmation, consent, privacy, safety, latency, and cost controls.

Frequently Asked Questions about openai-realtime-voice

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a low-latency voice agent with OpenAI Realtime that supports interruption and turn-taking?▼

To build a low-latency voice agent with OpenAI Realtime, you must configure WebRTC or WebSocket transport, tune voice activity detection for interruption, and design spoken prompts for natural turn-taking. This ensures responsive spoken interactions without awkward delays.

When should I use WebRTC vs WebSocket for OpenAI Realtime speech-to-speech sessions?▼

Use WebRTC for browser and mobile clients requiring direct low-latency audio streaming, and WebSocket for trusted server-side integrations. Both protocols support OpenAI Realtime speech-to-speech sessions, but WebRTC is better for client-facing interfaces like kiosks or mobile apps.

How do I secure tool calling in a realtime voice agent to prevent unsafe operations?▼

Secure tool calling in a realtime voice agent requires server-side validation of function calls and explicit approval gates for side effects. You must authenticate sessions and require user confirmation before executing sensitive actions like refunds or cancellations.

What production guardrails do I need for a customer support voice agent using function calling?▼

Production guardrails for a voice agent using function calling include server-side authentication, consent management, privacy controls, safety escalation, observability logging, and cost monitoring. These controls prevent unauthorized tool execution and ensure safe user interactions.

Can I use OpenAI Realtime to build a browser-based voice assistant with barge-in support?▼

Yes, you can build a browser-based voice assistant with barge-in support using OpenAI Realtime and WebRTC. By tuning voice activity detection parameters, the agent detects user speech and interrupts its own audio output for natural conversation flow.
