A Node.js and browser reference client library for OpenAI's Realtime API, enabling real-time voice and text conversations with GPT models. It supports session configuration, streaming audio, tool use, and conversation event handling in JavaScript and TypeScript.

Use cases

• build a realtime voice chatbot with openai
• stream audio to gpt for live conversation
• prototype a conversational voice assistant in node.js
• add speech-to-speech conversation to a react app
• connect to openai realtime api with websockets
• build an ai voice agent with tool calling

When to choose

• you want to prototype realtime voice/text conversations with OpenAI models quickly
• you need a lightweight client for the Realtime API in Node.js or browser apps
• you want reference code showing session config, audio streaming, and tool use

When to avoid

• you need a production-stable SDK - this is explicitly beta and superseded by the official OpenAI SDK
• you use a language other than JavaScript/TypeScript
• you want to ship API keys in browser code without a relay server
