Chat SDK for developers from Agora

Agora, Inc. announces the global availability of Agora Chat, a new SDK that aims to make it easy for developers to rapidly embed real-time in-app chat into their web and native apps; providing an immersive experience that keeps their users more connected, informed, and engaged. The launch of Agora Chat coincides with the start of Agora’s flagship event RTE2022, the world’s largest conference exploring RTE technologies.

From social to education, to gaming, to retail, to telehealth, to the future of work and beyond, there are a significant and growing number of use cases that require real-time audio and video, as well as real-time in-app Chat, and our customers need a solution for both. Agora Chat delivers the same broad developer platform support as Agora’s Audio and Video Calling SDKs, so developers can get to market quickly by leveraging their platforms of choice.

"Agora Chat has been in development for quite some time, and we’re excited to finally make it available for developers to use in applications. We know their users will love its features and look forward to seeing all the innovative ways developers utilize it," said Tony Zhao, Agora's CEO.

"Agora Chat has been a core part of our mobile solution, enabling sales specialists to quickly respond to customer requests regardless of the communication channel. The quality and support from Agora Chat allow for a fast, smooth user experience that has opened up an attractive revenue potential we want to capitalize on," said Julio Fiallos, CEO of Leveraged.
