TEN Agent

TEN Agent (Transformative Extensions Network) is an open-source real-time multimodal AI agent framework for building conversational AI applications with voice and vision interaction. Supported by the Agora community, the framework integrates OpenAI Realtime API, Gemini 2.0 Live, RTC, and other technologies, giving developers a low-latency, highly customizable AI agent development environment.

Key Features

• Real-time voice conversations: Ultra-low-latency voice interaction with built-in VAD (voice activity detection) and turn detection
• Multimodal capabilities: Integrates voice, video, images, and text, supporting real-time visual recognition and screen-share detection
• Visual workflow: A drag-and-drop Graph Designer interface makes designing and managing agent workflows easy
• Rich extension ecosystem: Integrates practical tools like RAG retrieval-augmented generation, weather queries, and web search, compatible with workflow platforms like Dify and Coze
• Multi-language support: Extension development in C++, Go, and Python, with Node.js support coming soon

Use Cases

In intelligent customer service, developers can use TEN Agent to build AI service systems with real-time voice responses, document retrieval, and multi-turn conversation. In IoT and smart home scenarios, the framework has been successfully deployed on ESP32-S3 hardware for on-device real-time AI interaction. Researchers and startup teams can use its rapid prototyping capability to build a fully functional conversational AI demo within 15 minutes.

Unique Advantages

As a GitHub Trending #1 project, TEN Agent is the world's first open-source framework to deeply combine OpenAI Realtime API with RTC technology. Unlike platforms supporting only a single programming language, TEN supports cross-platform development (Windows, Mac, Linux, mobile) and multiple languages, balancing edge computing and cloud deployment to reduce latency and cost. The project uses the Apache 2.0 license, has earned 8.7k+ stars on GitHub, and has an active developer community.
