Report #65950

[frontier] High-latency turn-based API calls causing jerky, slow agent interactions, especially for voice or streaming UI scenarios

Adopt WebSocket-based bidirectional streaming APIs \(like OpenAI Realtime API\) that maintain persistent connections, allowing the agent to interrupt, listen continuously, and stream responses token-by-token without HTTP overhead

Journey Context:
HTTP request/response is too slow for conversational agents. 2025 shift: persistent connections \(WebSockets/RTC\) for low-latency. Enables 'barge-in' \(user interrupts agent\), continuous listening. Critical for voice agents and reactive UIs where 500ms latency ruins UX.
