## What it is
A React-based example application from OpenAI for inspecting, building, and debugging with the Realtime API over WebRTC. It serves as a minimal template with an Express server and Vite-built frontend, showing event logging and client-side function calling.

## Use cases
- debug openai realtime api events
- build a voice assistant with webrtc
- inspect realtime api  payloads
- learn how to use openai realtime api
- prototype realtime voice agents
- test client-side function calling

## When to choose
- you want a reference implementation for the OpenAI Realtime API with WebRTC
- you need a starting template for building realtime voice apps
- you want to inspect and debug Realtime API event payloads

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready voice application
- you want a WebSocket-based browser client (deprecated in this repo)
- you need a full agentic architecture (see openai-realtime-agents instead)
