Vision Agents is a new, open-source framework from Stream that helps developers quickly build low-latency vision AI applications. The project is completely open-source and ships with over ten out-of-the-box integrations, including day one support for leading real-time voice and video models like OpenAI Realtime and Gemini Live. Text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and speech-to-speech models are also natively

There are two ways to build conversational voice agents for enterprise and production use cases. Developers can use a real-time API or speech-to-speech (STS), that takes audio input from a user and sends it to a large language model (LLM) to return a voice output. Or they can use a turn-based architecture, which consists of

Modern applications need a way to remember users as they navigate pages or make requests. Without a proper way to do this, browsing would be difficult and access to resources would be chaotic, as the application wouldn't know who is making the request.  This matters a lot, especially in messaging or in-app chat, multiplayer games,

But if you live elsewhere in the world, WhatsApp is a fundamental part of

Is your current tech stack missing the mark? Rather than shipping new features or fine-tuning performance, your team is stuck dealing with the limitations of the framework or language(s) you're working with. Whether your previous workflow involved native or cross-platform development, you can reach and retain more users with greater ease by picking the right

Last-minute changes and inconsistent integrations can frustrate developers. Teams often write business logic first and define application programming interfaces (APIs) later, which can lead to mismatched expectations and a worse overall product. One way to improve outcomes is to take an API-first approach, then build everything else around it. Prioritizing the API can bring many

Launching an app doesn't stop with writing great code or designing a polished interface. It also requires navigating the complex requirements of the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Each platform has its own rules, review processes, and quirks, and an overlooked detail can delay your launch. Plus, if your app uses real-time features
