The interaction with AI is evolving beyond text-based formats, integrating natural communication patterns through voice. Cloudflare is excited to introduce new features that streamline the development of voice-enabled AI applications on its global network. Key offerings include Cloudflare Realtime Agents, which enables seamless orchestration of voice AI pipelines, and direct piping of raw WebRTC audio for customized solutions. These features aim to simplify the complexities of building voice AI, ensuring low latency for natural conversations.
The advancements focus on combining multiple services like speech-to-text and language models while managing audio pipelines. Real-time AI applications are now easier to deploy, leveraging Cloudflare’s global infrastructure for optimal performance. Additionally, WebSockets and WebRTC are highlighted for their roles in real-time AI communication, with the introduction of PipeCat’s smart-turn-v2 model for improved conversation flow. Developers are encouraged to explore these tools and join the open beta for a hands-on experience.
