Centerbeam AI · Nova SDK / API
Low-Code Realtime Voice & Multimodal AI
Nova is Centerbeam AI's model-neutral SDK and API for quickly building realtime voice, multimodal interaction, and media intelligence directly into any website or application.
State-of-the-art enterprise media agents. Build once, run anywhere.
The Realtime Interaction Layer
One realtime layer between your application and AI
Nova connects people, application state, tools, knowledge, workflows, media, and realtime AI models through one SDK and API.
Voice can be the primary interface when voice makes sense. Screens, video, touch, keyboard input, and conventional controls remain part of the application when visual interaction matters.
Nova Platform
Build realtime intelligence into the application
Nova handles the realtime interaction layer so application teams can focus on what their product does.
Low-code integration
Embed Nova into an existing website or application through JavaScript, TypeScript, SwiftUI, or the Nova API.
Realtime interaction
Bidirectional interaction with VAD, interruption, barge-in, and sub-500ms turn-taking architecture.
Multimodal application layer
Combine voice with screens, video, touch, keyboard input, application state, tools, data, and existing application controls.
Model-neutral
Use supported OpenAI, Google, and xAI realtime models behind one application-facing integration layer.
Application control
Connect AI interaction to tools, APIs, workflows, business logic, knowledge, and application state.
Production deployment
Deploy across cloud, private, hybrid, and edge environments with enterprise control around realtime actions.
Model-Neutral
Build once. Choose the intelligence.
Nova separates your application from the realtime AI provider underneath it. Application state, tools, workflows, controls, and user experience stay in your product while Nova provides a common integration layer across supported realtime models.
- One application-facing realtime architecture
- Keep model-specific interfaces out of application logic
- Choose the supported provider appropriate to the application
- Change providers without rebuilding the entire product
Supported Realtime Providers
Applications
From software interfaces to the physical world
The same Nova interaction layer can be embedded across very different kinds of products and operating environments.
Software & Web
Add realtime intelligence directly inside websites, SaaS products, portals, dashboards, and enterprise applications.
Games & Interactive Media
Build characters, game systems, interactive stories, media experiences, and realtime application-controlled worlds.
Customer Experiences
Create branded agents, guided experiences, customer interaction, support, intake, and personalized media applications.
Mobile Applications
Combine realtime AI with mobile screens, cameras, sensors, application state, touch, and voice.
Laboratory & Research
Connect realtime interaction to instruments, protocols, data systems, research workflows, and hands-free environments.
Field Operations
Give mobile workers realtime access to workflows, knowledge, systems, inspection processes, and controlled actions.
Industrial & Operational
Support demanding manufacturing, logistics, cleanroom, inspection, maintenance, and other operational environments.
Build Once, Run Anywhere
One SDK from browser to edge
Nova is designed to move with the application rather than force the application into one deployment model.
Build for websites and software applications, mobile devices, managed cloud infrastructure, private environments, hybrid architectures, or edge systems using the same underlying realtime interaction model.
Web
Embed realtime AI directly into websites and browser applications.
Mobile
Build voice and multimodal interaction into mobile applications.
Cloud & Private
Deploy through managed, private, or hybrid infrastructure.
Edge
Run latency-sensitive and operational workloads close to the application.

FAQ
Nova SDK & API
What is Nova?
Nova is Centerbeam AI's low-code, model-neutral realtime voice and multimodal AI SDK, API, and application runtime. Developers use Nova to embed media intelligence directly into websites, software, mobile applications, games, enterprise systems, and operational workflows.
What can developers build with Nova?
Nova can power realtime AI experiences across web applications, mobile applications, games, interactive media, customer experiences, laboratory and research systems, field applications, enterprise software, and industrial workflows.
Which realtime AI providers does Nova support?
Nova provides a common application-facing layer for supported realtime AI providers including OpenAI Realtime, Google Gemini Live, and xAI Grok Voice Agent.
Is Nova only a voice AI SDK?
No. Voice is a primary Nova interaction mode, but Nova is designed for realtime multimodal applications that can combine voice with screens, video, touch, keyboard input, application state, tools, data, and conventional application controls.
Can Nova be added to an existing website or application?
Yes. Nova is designed as a low-code SDK and API that can be embedded directly into existing websites, web applications, mobile applications, and enterprise software.
What does model-neutral mean?
Model-neutral means application architecture is separated from any single realtime AI provider. Nova gives developers one application-facing integration layer so supported providers can be selected or changed without rebuilding the entire interaction architecture.
Where can Nova applications run?
Nova supports application architectures spanning web, mobile, cloud, private infrastructure, hybrid environments, and edge deployments.
