🎉 TEN Agent with OpenAI Realtime API and RTC

OpenAI Realtime API provides ultra-low latency, and RTC offers AI noise suppression. TEN Agent has both. Feel free to try it out at agent.theten.ai.

TEN Agent Features

Aside from being world's the first agent to integrate the OpenAI Realtime API and RTC, TEN Agent also offers the following features:

1. High-Performance Real-Time Multimodal Interactions: Offers high-performance, low-latency solutions for complex audio-visual AI applications.

2. Multi-Language and Multi-Platform Support : Supports extension development in C++, Go, Python, etc. Runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices.

3. Edge-Cloud Integration: Flexibly combines edge and cloud-deployed extensions, balancing privacy, cost, and performance.

4. Flexibility Beyond Model Limitations: Easily build complex AI applications through simple drag-and-drop programming, integrating audio-visual tools, databases, RAG, and more.

5. Real-Time Agent State Management: Manages and adjusts agent behavior in real-time for dynamic responsiveness.

How to build TEN Agent locally

Prerequisites

Keys

• Agora App ID and App Certificate (certificate is not required)
• Azure SST and TTS API keys (feel free to use another provider)
• OpenAI API key

Installation

• Docker / Docker Compose
• Node.js(LTS) v18

Minimum system requirements

• CPU >= 2 Core
• RAM >= 4 GB

Docker setting on Apple Silicon

You will need to uncheck "Use Rosetta for x86_64/amd64 emulation on Apple Silicon" option for Docker if you are on Apple Silicon, otherwise the server is not going to work.

Next step

1. Modify config files

In the root of the project, use cp command to create .env from the example.

It will be used to store information for docker compose later.

cp ./.env.example ./.env

2. Setup API keys

Open the .env file and fill in the keys and regions. This is also where you can choose to use any different extensions:

# Agora App ID and Agora App Certificate
AGORA_APP_ID=
# Leave empty unless you have enabled the certificate within the Agora account.
AGORA_APP_CERTIFICATE=

# Azure STT key and region
AZURE_STT_KEY=
AZURE_STT_REGION=

# Azure TTS key and region
AZURE_TTS_KEY=
AZURE_TTS_REGION=

# OpenAI API key
OPENAI_API_KEY=

3. Start agent development containers

In the same directory, run the docker compose up command to compose containers:

docker compose up

4. Enter container and build agent

Open up a separate terminal window, enter the container and build the agent:

docker exec -it astra_agents_dev bash
make build

5. Start the server

Once the build is done, make run-server on port 8080:

make run-server

Finish and verify

TEN Agent

Open up localhost:3000 in browser to play and test the TEN Agent.

TEN Graph Designer

Open up another tab go to localhost:3001, and use Graph Designer to create, connect and edit extensions on canvas.
