On "How avatarin built a 24/7 retail agent with GPT-Realtime"

The real win here isn't the cheerleader stats—it's that a major retailer deployed a live voice agent in two weeks and didn't need to rebuild their support infrastructure. That speed matters because most companies are still stuck in the planning phase, arguing about whether voice agents are "ready." For anyone watching this from the search and discovery angle, the message is clear: voice interactions are table stakes now, not an experiment. If you're running a product discovery or checkout experience and you're not factoring in voice queries and real-time agent responses, you're already behind the adoption curve your customers expect.
