Agora Debuts First-of-Kind Experience Level Agreement, Agora
RTE App Builder and Agora Extensions Marketplace
SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Agora, Inc. (NASDAQ: API), a Real-Time Engagement
(RTE) platform-as-a-service provider, today announced during CEO
Tony Zhao's keynote address at the
annual RTE2020 conference the creation of new tools and resources
for developers who are interested in integrating Real-Time
Engagement (RTE) technology into their web, mobile and desktop
applications. The Experience Level Agreement (XLA), Agora RTE App
Builder and Agora Extensions Marketplace will not only help speed
up the adoption of voice, video and streaming technology, they will
provide developers with an unparalleled level of support and
quality assurance.
In a recent customer survey conducted by Agora, 37% of
respondents said they would be willing to pay more to stream live
audio and video content over platforms that guarantee quality of
experience. To meet this burgeoning customer need and a widespread
demand for RTE, Agora's roll-out of these new tools and resources
couldn't come at a better time.
"At Agora, we pride ourselves on being developer friendly and
customer centric -- and that's not just a platitude. If there are
actions we can take to make the adoption of RTE easier, we won't
hesitate to answer the call," said Tony
Zhao, CEO at Agora. "Our new XLA, Agora RTE App Builder, and
Agora Extensions Marketplace were made by and for developers to
address day-to-day pain points and provide a network of support
throughout their entire journey with us."
Agora invites developers to explore these new features and join
the beta programs.
- The Experience Level Agreement (XLA): The
first-ever industry user experience agreement
to guarantee performance beyond the typical platform
availability or up time. The four core KPIs that we will use
for XLA are:
-
- Channel Join Success Rate
- Video Fluency
- Audio Fluency
- Transmission Latency
Agora is currenting piloting XLA in select regions and will
gradually roll out to more regions and customers.
- Agora Extensions Marketplace: An ecosystem of
state-of-the-art, pre-configured extensions from many of the Agora
Technology Partners. Not only will the Extensions Marketplace
create opportunity for the entire RTE ecosystem, but it will also
make it easy for customers to easily enable different technologies
like content moderation or face filters with ease by
providing:
-
- A simple, discoverable directory that will allow customers to
learn about and activate various partner extensions right from
Agora's dashboard (early partner commitments include LearnCube,
Banuba, TurboBridge, Spectrum Labs, and Loom.ai)
- Easy activation with a simple configuration wizard
- Unified billing directly in the Agora Console
All partners with a compelling RTE technology are invited to
visit https://www.agora.io/extensions to learn more and apply
to be a launch partner.
- Agora RTE App Builder: Agora's no-code tools that allows
anyone to create a production-ready RTE app with no coding
required. It is free to all registered developers and comes with
10k free minutes each month, free
developer support, and access to Agora Analytics, an
industry-leading diagnostic and user insight tool. The Agora
RTE App Builder features:
-
- Quick deployment to iOS, Android, Web, MacOS, Windows, and
Linux from the auto-generated codebase
- Configurable features include chat, pre-call screen, cloud
recording, PSTN dial in, and screen sharing
