Tokyo, Japan — November 5, 2025 — Agora, the global leader in real-time engagement and conversational AI, today announced an exclusive collaboration with TripoAI, the next-generation 3D creation platform under VAST, unveiling a voice-driven AI toy innovation that allows creators to easily turn any 2D photo into a 3D, voice-interactive AI toy — and to bring Japan’s world-famous IPs and creative culture to global audiences.
This innovation combines TripoAI’s automatic 3D model generation with Agora’s Conversational AI Engine and the Convo AI Device Kit, enabling anyone — from independent creators to established studios — to design, 3D print, and voice-enable their characters. The result: static designs become living, speaking companions that express emotions, respond in real time, and interact naturally with users.
The Agora Convo AI Device Kit bridges the physical and digital worlds, offering a plug-and-play hardware and SDK platform that enables voice interaction, emotion recognition, and sub-second latency performance. Paired with TripoAI’s AI-driven modeling tools, creators can now go from a single photo to a fully talking, emotionally intelligent 3D companion within hours — no coding or 3D design experience required.
“We’re thrilled to introduce this innovation to Japan’s dynamic creator ecosystem,” said Lawrence Wu, Head of AIoT Industry, Agora. “By pairing Agora’s Conversational AI Engine and Device Kit with TripoAI’s 3D creation tools, we’re redefining how creative products are made — they don’t just look real, they feel alive.”
“TripoAI’s mission is to make 3D creation effortless and expressive,” added Rocky, VAST VP of business. “Agora’s real-time conversational technology extends that mission into interactive play and storytelling, giving creators a completely new medium for expression.”
The Agora × TripoAI Voice-Driven AI Toy Innovation debuted at the Convo AI World Tokyo event, highlighting the future of AI companionship, creator economy, and emotion-driven play.
This collaboration opens new frontiers for Japan’s toy, anime, gaming, and creator industries, enabling brands and independent makers alike to craft expressive, connected characters with voice personalities and real-time responsiveness.
