Android Meets Gemini: Building Real-Time Conversational AI Experiences with Agora
In this session, I’ll show how Android developers can build real-time AI experiences by combining Gemini-powered intelligence with Agora Conversational AI and a native Android app built using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.
We’ll go beyond a traditional chatbot and look at how to design voice-first Android experiences where users can speak naturally with an AI agent, receive low-latency responses, and see real-time conversation states such as listening, thinking, speaking, reconnecting, and transcript updates.
The session will cover Android-specific implementation patterns including microphone permissions, audio lifecycle, Compose state management, Kotlin Flow-based event handling, foreground behavior, and designing a responsive UI for real-time AI interactions. I’ll also demo how Gemini can act as the reasoning layer while Agora handles real-time conversational infrastructure, giving Android developers a practical blueprint for building the next generation of AI-powered mobile apps.
Building Real-Time Voice AI Experiences on Android
Voice AI is rapidly changing how users interact with mobile applications, but building real-time conversational experiences on Android is far more challenging than simply integrating an LLM API.
In this session, we will explore how to build production-ready Voice AI experiences on Android using modern Android architecture, Jetpack Compose, streaming audio pipelines, and real-time communication technologies.
Drawing from real-world experience working with real-time engagement platforms and Android applications at scale, this talk covers the engineering challenges behind low-latency voice interactions, including:
Real-time audio streaming on Android
Handling interruptions, latency, and unstable network conditions
Designing conversational UI/UX with Jetpack Compose
Integrating AI services and speech pipelines
Audio session management and performance optimization
Voice-first architecture patterns
Managing lifecycle and concurrency using Kotlin Coroutines and Flow
Scaling Voice AI experiences across devices
We will also discuss lessons learned while building AI-powered conversational experiences, common architectural mistakes, and practical techniques for creating responsive and reliable Voice AI applications.
Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how modern Android development, AI, and real-time communication technologies come together to power the next generation of intelligent mobile experiences.
