INDIA – March 11, 2025: Agora, Inc. (NASDAQ: API), a global leader in real-time engagement solutions, is expanding into AI-powered robotics and interactive toys with its new ConvoAI Device Kit. This breakthrough solution—developed in partnership with chip-maker Beken—delivers an all-in-one toolkit that empowers developers and manufacturers to create intelligent, voice-driven interactions for next-generation conversational AI in smart devices.

The ConvoAI Device Kit integrates Beken’s high-performance AI chip modules with Agora’s Conversational AI technology, enabling ultra-low latency voice interactions, intelligent dialogue processing, and seamless real-time communication. This innovative solution is designed to make AI-driven devices, toys, and robots more interactive, intuitive, and emotionally responsive.

“Conversational AI is key to making robots and AI-driven toys truly interactive, engaging, and intuitive,” said Tony Zhao, CEO of Agora. “By integrating Agora’s technology into Beken’s chips, IoT toymakers like Robopoet will transform entertainment, education, and emotional support by enabling more natural conversations, adaptive learning, and personalized interactions that evolve with the user over time.”

As part of this expansion, Agora is proud to power Robopoet’s latest AI companion robot, Fuzzoo, unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) last week. Designed to redefine emotional wellness, Fuzzoo is an AI-powered emotional companion that listens, senses, and responds in real-time. Robopoet’s Multimodal Emotion Model (MEM) leverages Agora’s ConvoAI Device Kit to offer personalized support and foster emotional connection.

“Agora’s AI technology enables toys and robots to interact in a way that feels natural and engaging,” said Yuna Pan, Co-Founder and CTO of Robopoet. “With real-time voice processing, emotional AI, and advanced speech capabilities, Agora makes seamless human-machine interaction possible and ensures exceptional performance and reliability.”
