Nuance Live preview: build real-time audio-video apps where an AI persona calls your tools
koltregaskes · x · 2026-11-13
Nuance released the Nuance Live API in preview for building real-time apps around an AI persona.
- The persona talks over audio and video while delegating work to your function tools via a backend, then reports results
- Apps exchange JSON events over a LiveKit room: follow the conversation, interrupt mid-sentence, mute the persona, or sync app state
- Server holds the API key and mints short-lived session tokens via /session-tokens, so the frontend never sees secrets
- Preview status: routes and events may change, conversations run on shared capacity and can be rejected or cut short
