Here are some wild examples shared on X by developers. 

Speech to Picasso

This incredible use case brings forth a voice-controlled painting app. Jordan Singer, who as per his X bio is the founder of Mainframe, a generative computing company, shared his new creation with OpenAI’s realtime voice API on X. Singer calls it Teledraw, an experimental drawing app that is a fusion of real-time voice and image models. It explores innovative interfaces by using the latest latent consistency models which allows users to create art through voice commands. Singer showed the unique UI, which mimics a phone call, pushing the boundaries of interactive technology.  

PDF mind reader

Another X user, Marcus Schiesser, who calls himself a tech enthusiast, has created a voice chat for documents. Known as Voice Chat PDF, the tool is built using OpenAI Realtime API, Llama Index, and Next.js. The app allows users to chat with their own documents. The demo shared by Schiesser shows the feature using a document on physical mailing standards, highlighting how a user can interact with content using voice in real-time.

Assistant for mock interviews

Kenn Ejima, former head of Japan Quora, shared an AI interviewer who conducts mock interviews, essentially quizzing people on their resume. The new mock interview app lets users practice interview skills by uploading their CVs or resumes for AI-driven questions. It currently supports Stanford MBA applications and allows one free trial every 24 hours. It is built with Remix, Render, Quadrant, and Cloudflare R2. 

Voice-controlled browser

Software engineer Sawyer Hood shared a voice-controlled browser on X. With this browser, one simply needs to open and say out loud what they are searching for. The browser is built using OpenAI’s Realtime API and lets users navigate the internet through voice commands. The system deploys a custom DOM format for reliable page understanding, avoiding the intricacies of raw HTML. The browser is currently in development and according to Hood, the browser aims to offer seamless voice-based web interactions. 

Your trading assistant

Wily Douhard, a developer, has made a voice assistant that can track the price of multiple stocks using your voice. Douhard has created something known as Chainlit Realtime which supports WebSockets for real-time audio interactions by integrating OpenAI’s Realtime Voice API. This app shows how developers can build responsive assistants that stream audio commands and responses seamlessly. 

Your realtime-anime friend

Bryan Pratte, founder of Hallway.AI, showed how OpenAI’s Realtime API when combined with ExpressionEngine, can bring anime characters to life. Based on the demo, this integration seems to enable real-time voice interactions with animated characters. It offers an immersive experience as seen in the demo below.

On October 1, OpenAI introduced the Realtime API that allows developers to build applications with live interactions. This API supports speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and real-time conversation abilities which makes it possible to create dynamic assistants and voice experiences. With audio and text being streamed back and forth, the Realtime API allows for highly responsive applications. 

According to OpenAI, this API has been designed for use cases like virtual assistants, live collaboration tools, and interactive educational apps. The Realtime API uses OpenAI’s powerful language models which offer seamless real-time conversations that enhance user engagement and interaction across a wide range of use cases.
