How long does it take to develop a voice intelligent agent application prototype? 3 days? 5 days? OpenAI has just shared a multi-layer advanced AI Agent developed based on the Realtime API, taking only 20 minutes!
OpenAI has made the source code public on GitHub. Although it is just a demo, it has quickly surpassed 1200 stars, especially the high development efficiency that has surprised many veterans.

Real-Time Agent Technical Features
The real-time agent provides efficient data interaction capabilities, allowing immediate responses while users are speaking, greatly reducing wait times while optimizing data transmission and processing flows, ensuring high efficiency and low latency, which is crucial for developing voice intelligent agents.
Multi-Layer Collaborative Agent Framework provides a predefined agent flowchart, allowing developers to quickly configure and use. Each agent has clear responsibilities and tasks, ensuring that tasks can proceed smoothly in the preset order, significantly reducing the time spent designing task flows from scratch.
The real-time agent also supports flexible task handovers, enabling seamless task transfers between agents, ensuring that each step can be handled by the most suitable agent, greatly improving task processing efficiency and accuracy.
State machine-driven task processing is another major technical highlight of the real-time agent. Complex tasks are broken down into smaller steps through a state machine, processed step by step. Each step has clear states and transition conditions, ensuring that tasks can be completed sequentially and progressively.
Meanwhile, the state machine can monitor the execution status of tasks in real-time, adjusting based on user input and feedback. If users encounter problems at any step, the state machine can promptly adjust the task flow, provide assistance, or redirect users.
Leveraging large models to enhance agent decision-making capabilities, when faced with complex or significant task decisions, the real-time agent can automatically escalate tasks to a more intelligent large model, such as OpenAI’s o1-mini. Developers can also select suitable large models based on the specific needs of the tasks.
Clear visual WebRTC interface, allowing users to select different scenarios and agents through drop-down menus, viewing conversation records and event logs in real-time.
Providing detailed event logs and monitoring functions, offering developers powerful debugging and optimization tools. Detailed event logs record events from both the client and server. Developers can monitor the execution status of tasks in real-time through these logs, promptly identifying and resolving issues.
Real-time monitoring can promptly identify agent performance bottlenecks, enabling specific optimizations and adjustments. For instance, if an agent’s response time is too long, task allocation can be adjusted in a timely manner to ensure overall system performance.
Additionally, this real-time agent also draws from the well-known multi-layer collaborative agent framework swarm open-sourced by OpenAI, making it very reliable in business execution and stability.
Some netizens expressed that two months ago, it took them 2-3 hours to develop a real-time voice application. Of course, the Twilio API took quite a bit of time, but being able to create a minimum viable product (MVP) in under 20 minutes is truly astonishing.
In less than 20 minutes, building a voice application prototype using a multi-agent flow… jaw-dropping.
