Agora (API) showcased its conversational AI solutions at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference hosted in Shanghai during July 26-29, 2025. Agora unveiled key upcoming features of its Conversational AI Engine, including: Voiceprint-based attention locking, enabling seamless human-AI agent conversations in noisy environments with lots of speaking in the background; Real-time vision-based intelligence, interpreting visual context alongside audio conversation; Natural interactive avatars, synchronizing lifelike movements with speech. These new features will further enhance the experience for users of conversational AI. Voiceprint-based attention locking enables AI agents with a capability like the ‘cocktail effect’ in the human brain, allowing the agent to focus only on the voice of the user despite the input of multiple background voices. The addition of visual context allows for AI agents to see what is happening in a scene; for example, a user can casually ask about a painting on the wall in the room behind them or for help in solving a math problem written on a whiteboard. Compatibility with interactive avatars gives AI agents a face and makes conversations with them more engaging for use cases from education to customer support.
