Real-time voice AI agents, explained (before you build one)
Roadmap preview → https://goo.gle/mma-roadmap
Most AI agents are text in, text out. This AI agent hears you, sees the page, remembers context, talks back, and moves a real browser: live, while you're still speaking.
I call that an omni-app: perceive → reason → express, running as one open loop instead of taking turns. In this video, Annie breaks down what a bidirectional live multimodal agent actually is, why it's a much bigger jump than "a better chatbot," and the full 6-episode roadmap for building one yourself with the Gemini Live API and Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK).
?️ *SEASON 1 — THE ROADMAP*
* Episode 1 · Voice — text-to-speech vs. a live session, and why interruption changes the whole interface
* Episode 2 · Framework — raw GenAI SDK vs. Google ADK: who runs the loop
* Episode 3 · Tools — function calling inside a live conversation, and the latency problem it creates
* Episode 4 · Browser — giving your agent hands: voice-controlled browser automation
* Episode 5 · Memory — structured facts + vector memory, retrieved mid-conversation
* Episode 6 · Vision — one snapshot vs. a continuous frame stream, without killing the live feel
