The iRTE2026 Real-Time Intelligence Conference took place in Beijing, where Zhao Bin, the founder and CEO of Agora, unveiled a 'five-tier conversational ability' framework. This framework delineates the progression of conversational AI, from fundamental responses to profound comprehension and relational dialogue. Zhao Bin highlighted that real-time interaction is evolving beyond human-to-human exchanges to encompass human-to-Agent interactions, with corresponding technologies bolstering AI's perceptual and cognitive abilities in real-time. Moreover, he shed light on the trajectory of real-time intelligent interaction infrastructure that underpins conversational AGI, along with Agora's strategic vision. During the event, a representative from NVIDIA provided insights into the AV2 video codec technology. Two roundtable sessions delved into the potential of personal agents as the next-generation personal gateways and the transformation of conversational AI from mere 'chatting ability' to 'task-accomplishing proficiency', thereby generating tangible value. Experts from diverse fields shared their insights, drawing from real-world experiences, and explored avenues for industrial implementation. The conference underscored a shift in the competitive landscape of conversational AI, from fundamental model capabilities to multifaceted, comprehensive competencies. The industry is collectively venturing into the fusion of real-time interaction and generative AI to forge more seamless and efficient real-time interaction experiences.
