API service

Realtime APIAPI service

Speech-to-speech voice-agent API in which one WebSocket session runs Inworld speech recognition with voice profiling, a chosen LLM from 100+ with tool calling and turn detection, and Realtime TTS-2 voice output.

Realtime STTAPI service

Speech-to-text API (Inworld STT-1) that transcribes streaming or complete audio in 30+ languages with turn detection, returning voice-profile signals for emotion, vocal style, accent, age and pitch alongside the transcript.

Realtime TTSAPI service

Text-to-speech API (Realtime TTS-2 and TTS-2 Flash) with voice cloning and voice design, billed per million characters.

Platform

Realtime RouterPlatform

OpenAI-compatible LLM gateway that sends each request to one of 100+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others by rules on user attributes, context, A/B splits or cost, with failover and provider rates passed through at zero markup.

Infrastructure service

Inworld ComputeInfrastructure service

Dedicated NVIDIA B200 GPUs for high-volume realtime workloads such as LLM inference, dedicated TTS serving and custom model hosting, with Kubernetes access or Inworld-managed deployment, and deployed models routable through Inworld Router.

Model API

Inworld InferenceModel API

Inworld Inference provides API access to text, image, video and decision models.
