🚨 AURA — Voice AI Incident Commander | Full End-to-End Demo

When a SEV-1 hits production, every second costs money. Engineers panic, talk over each other,
throw out conflicting theories — and cognitive overload sets in fast.

AURA is a real-time Voice AI Incident Commander that joins live IT war rooms as an active voice
participant over Agora SD-RTN™ and Conversational AI Engine. It listens to cross-talk, classifies
raw speech into structured epistemic evidence, detects engineering contradictions in real-time,
drives the incident to resolution, and auto-generates a full Google SRE postmortem — all without
a human scribe.

📌 WHAT IS AGORA CONVERSATIONAL AI?
─────────────────────────────────────
Agora's Conversational AI Engine lets you embed real-time AI voice agents directly into WebRTC
audio channels. AURA uses this to make an LLM-powered agent an actual voice participant in the
incident bridge — not a passive observer, but a live, speaking, tool-using member of the war room.

📋 INCIDENT SCENARIOS AVAILABLE
─────────────────────────────────────
• SEV-1 Payment Gateway Outage (featured in this video)
• SEV-2 CDN Cache Invalidation Storm — Global Latency Spike
• SEV-0 Authentication Service Compromise — Suspicious Token Generation
• SEV-1 Kubernetes Node Pool Exhaustion — Pod Eviction Cascade

─────────────────────────────────────
🏗️ ARCHITECTURE HIGHLIGHTS
─────────────────────────────────────
• /api/agent/start — Summons AURA into the Agora RTC channel via Conversational AI REST API
• /api/llm/proxy — Custom OpenAI streaming proxy that drives AURA's incident commander persona
• /api/mcp/sse — Model Context Protocol SSE endpoint exposing tools (log_fact, flag_conflict, create_jira_ticket, post_slack_update, etc.)
