What is Switchboard?
Switchboard provides a comprehensive platform for creating real-time audio applications and features. It consists of two main products: the Switchboard SDK for developers to deploy audio engines across multiple platforms, and the Switchboard Editor for no-code design and prototyping. The platform supports integration of various voice and audio tools, including AI models, and enables testing in browsers before deployment.
The SDK is built on a C++ core with cross-platform capabilities, while the Editor allows visual graph creation that can be deployed via the SDK. It serves software developers, product managers, and R&D teams, offering open-source example applications and support for custom nodes. The platform is designed to accelerate innovation cycles by unifying development stages.
