OpenAI's Mysterious Project Agora Exposed: May Be Related to Cross-Platform New Application or AI Hardware Ecosystem

After secretly launching the translation feature, OpenAI's next major product has begun to emerge. Recently, well-known AI researcher Tibor Blaho discovered a mysterious new feature placeholder named "Agora" while analyzing the latest code of OpenAI's website, Android, and iOS applications.

In Greek, "Agora" means "public space" or "marketplace." Based on the currently leaked code fields (such as is_agora_ios and is_agora_android), there are three mainstream speculations about this feature:

New cross-platform application: The code covers both mobile and desktop clients, suggesting it could be a new cross-platform product with high synchronization capabilities.
Social and community interaction: Based on its meaning of "marketplace," OpenAI may introduce some kind of social collaboration or public space for group interaction.
Real-time communication infrastructure: Considering Agora[.]ai is a well-known real-time audio and video SDK service provider, this codename might also point to more advanced voice or video call technology.

Notably, OpenAI has recently been reported to be developing a AI headset (a competitor to AirPods), and this cross-platform feature is likely to be deeply integrated with the upcoming hardware ecosystem.

While "Agora" came to light, OpenAI has already completed a practical improvement. For all logged-in users, the official team significantly optimized the voice input function
