Generally Available: Voice Live integration with Microsoft Foundry Agent Service

Microsoft Foundry Agent Service is now generally available for Voice Live integration, allowing developers to connect real-time speech-to-text and text-to-speech to a Foundry Agent without writing their own audio pipeline. Existing agent capabilities — including tool calling, knowledge, memory, guardrails, and enterprise integrations — continue to work seamlessly and are now enhanced with low-latency speech interactions. The agent provides a real-time streaming voice channel with interrupt handling, turn-taking, barge-in support, connection management, natural voices, and avatars for production phone and web experiences. For customers building customer service agents, learning companions, and in-car assistants, this provides a single supported path from Foundry agent logic to live audio input and output, instead of requiring them to stitch together Speech, the agent runtime, and WebRTC on their own.
