QwenAudio/qwen-audio-agent (created 2026-07-27, 162 stars, Apache-2.0, Node >=22.22.2) is a realtime voice runtime whose stated premise is that a conversation should not stall while the agent is searching, calling tools or working a task. It supports full-duplex speech with natural interruption and continuous multi-turn dialogue, runs conversation and background tasks in parallel with progress queries and cancellation, and returns task results into the current context for follow-up. It connects to existing agents with their existing models, tools, MCP servers and skills, and ships WebUI, terminal TUI and a macOS desktop floating-ball surface.
