Agora

Agora, Inc. is a developer-focused cloud services company that provides infrastructure for real-time interaction. Its core capabilities include real-time voice and video communications, interactive live streaming, real-time messaging, and related signaling services. Developers can use Agora APIs, SDKs, and cloud tools to embed voice, video, and messaging functions into their own applications without building the underlying real-time communications network themselves. The technology can support use cases such as online education, social entertainment, interactive streaming, gaming, customer service, remote collaboration, and video conferencing. Agora’s business is primarily connected with usage of its developer and cloud services. The brand name refers to the ancient Greek concept of a public gathering place, while its Chinese brand name is 声网. Publicly available information identifies Agora as a U.S.-listed company trading under the ticker API. Its current geographic operations, product mix, and financial performance should be verified against the company’s latest filings and official materials.

Agora was founded by Tony Zhao in 2014 to provide real-time voice and video communications as cloud services and developer tools. Rather than selling traditional communications equipment, the company focuses on APIs, SDKs, and cloud services that allow third-party applications to add voice, video, live streaming, and messaging functions. As mobile internet, online education, social entertainment, and interactive streaming expanded, real-time engagement became an infrastructure need for many software products. Agora developed its developer services and product portfolio around this demand. The company later became publicly listed in the United States under the ticker API. Its product and market activities have included real-time communications, real-time messaging, interactive live streaming, and interaction capabilities for enterprise applications. Detailed changes in its business, revenue mix, and geographic operations should be checked against its latest regulatory filings and official announcements.
