Agora today announced a strategic partnership with Sentino to launch a new AI Agent Platform for Physical AI, leveraging Agora’s Conversational AI Engine and Sentino’s emotional-depth expertise. The platform offers four core engagement features—context-aware inner thoughts, AI Diary entries, crayon-style Diary Illustrations and Music Diary compositions—designed to drive repeat usage and deepen user attachment. By combining real-time voice, memory and multimodal expression, Agora expects device makers and IP holders to accelerate product launches by up to 40% and reduce development complexity by 60%, tapping into use cases from lifestyle companions to educational aids. More than 1,800 global brands already rely on Agora’s infrastructure, positioning the company to capture an expanding segment of the Physical AI market projected to exceed $12 billion by 2028.

Following MiniMax’s recent IPO, Agora deepened its collaboration to integrate MiniMax’s text-to-speech models into Agora’s real-time Conversational AI Engine. This end-to-end solution enables dynamic, interruptible voice streams across 200+ countries at sub-second latency—critical for call centers, robotics and AGI applications. Agora’s network currently delivers over 50 billion minutes of real-time audio and video monthly; integration with MiniMax’s expressive TTS—supporting over 30 languages and dialects—positions Agora to capture additional contract wins in enterprise contact centers and global device makers. Management expects this partnership to contribute 15% growth in AI-platform revenue in fiscal 2026, as developers migrate from batch TTS to real-time conversational deployments.
