openai-realtime-console is a developer tool created by OpenAI that provides a web-based console for experimenting with the Realtime API. The Realtime API enables low-latency, interactive communication with language models, supporting use cases such as live conversations, real-time transcription, and interactive applications. This console serves as a reference implementation, showing how to establish WebRTC or WebSocket connections, send audio or text inputs, and receive model outputs in real time. It is built as a simple frontend that developers can run locally to test and understand how Realtime API interactions work. The project is intended as an educational and debugging resource rather than a production-ready application. By offering clear examples of streaming inputs and outputs, the console helps developers accelerate prototyping of real-time AI-powered applications.
