Agora, Inc. announced the next-generation of its Convo AI Device Kit, the R1-4G, introducing native 4G connectivity, enhanced multimodal interaction, and a camera with visual intelligence. These upgrades are designed to simplify and accelerate the development of lifelike, globally connected AI 'smart hardware' devices.
A major improvement is the accelerated time to market, allowing developers to create a working demo of an LLM-based AI device in one hour and a production-ready prototype in one day. This significantly reduces upfront R&D costs and time for device manufacturers.
The upgraded kit enables features such as real-time visual context for AI agents, allowing them to understand their environment, and global connectivity for mobile AI devices. Robopoet, a customer, is already utilizing the kit for its AI companions like Fuzozo, which require ultra-low latency voice interactions and global connectivity to respond instantly wherever users take them.
