OpenAI published a case study on avatarin's deployment of GPT-Realtime as a 24/7 multilingual support agent in Yamada Denki stores, reporting 30,000 users in the first two weeks and 92% positive survey responses. It's one of the few voice-agent deployments with actual usage and satisfaction numbers attached rather than a pilot announcement. The multilingual angle matters for the Japanese retail context, where inbound tourist support is a concrete staffing problem rather than an efficiency abstraction.
