Start with visual-only placements and sandbox keys, scoped to a companion or post-session surface.
Voice and realtime
Monetize realtime AI without interrupting the conversation.
Use visual companions, queue states, and post-session summaries to create sponsored moments around voice and realtime AI without breaking the live session.
Surface rule
wavebird monetizes realtime AI through visual and post-session surfaces, not intrusive audio interruptions.
Visual sponsored moments stay labeled, separate, and controlled by your app.
The sponsored moment
Where visual ads fit around a voice session.
Realtime AI cannot feel interrupted. Sponsorship should use visual companion surfaces, queue states, and post-session review by default.

Session recap
Non-intrusive pause state
Place sponsored moments in companion, setup, queue, or summary surfaces where they do not interrupt speech or alter live response timing.

Companion card, post-call summary, visual queue state
Begin with one visual slot, one timing rule and clear disclosure. Keep sensitive product data out of the partner ad request.

Why this surface works
- Realtime AI already has setup, waiting, and summary states where visual information can fit naturally.
- Visual companion surfaces avoid interrupting the conversation.
- Post-session review is a natural place for relevant sponsored resources.
- Consent and data boundaries are especially important in voice products, so the standard path keeps speech and transcript out.
What stays untouched
- Realtime speech
- Audio stream
- Transcript
- Speaker identity
- Live response timing
- Conversation flow
- Sensitive session context
Placement judgment
Good placements versus avoid.
The difference is whether the sponsor is clearly outside the AI output and easy for the user to understand.
Good
- Sponsored card in a visual companion panel.
- Sponsor module in a post-call summary.
- Banner during a non-blocking queue or setup state.
Avoid
- Audio ads interrupting the live conversation.
- Sponsored phrases inserted into voice responses.
- Sending transcripts into the ad path without explicit consent.
Implementation path
Server-side match, client-side render.
The product keeps orchestration and policy control. wavebird returns a placement decision, then the hosted renderer handles media and beacons.
Developer API path
Request placements only when a visual companion, setup, queue, or summary surface is available.
Server-side matching
Send session category, language, timing, and consent. Do not send realtime speech or transcript by default.
Client-side rendering
Render Native Ads or banners outside the live audio path and collapse the surface on no-fill.
Controls
Decide where sponsorship is allowed.
Your app controls eligible surfaces, allowed formats and categories, placement timing and fallback behavior. These choices remain subject to wavebird's consent and safety checks, partner rules and required ad labeling.
