Question · Q3 2025
Yuxing asked about the sequential growth trend for AI-related usage and when these AI applications might achieve meaningful scale based on the current customer pipeline. He also questioned whether Agora, given its R&D infrastructure, might follow a similar path to CDN vendors by expanding into edge GPU inference or security features.
Answer
Tony Zhao (Founder, Chairman, and CEO) stated that conversational AI usage increased by over 150% quarter-over-quarter and expressed belief in broader adoption and proliferation of voice agents soon. Regarding strategy expansion, he clarified that Agora is not a CDN company but has a global distributed network. He identified an opportunity in offering real-time inference services for conversational AI, leveraging their infrastructure to connect with distributed ASR, TTS, and large language models for ultra-low latency real-time interaction, which could be a future expansion area.
