The architecture permits bidirectional telephony by routing incoming provider traffic to specific OpenAI projects while allowing organizations to dial out directly through their telephony carriers. When handling inbound requests, backends intercept webhook alerts to accept sessions with specific voices and models, or reject them using standard SIP codes. Organizations can also deploy sideband connections to issue parallel commands and track operational events. The system further accommodates data sovereignty needs by providing a dedicated European endpoint for regional call routing.

Choose your API to see its connection steps and session events.
Connect incoming and outgoing phone calls to GPT-Live through a SIP trunk. Your provider exchanges call audio with OpenAI, while your backend handles session configuration, call controls, and business logic. SIP signaling uses TLS, and GPT-Live requires SRTP for call audio.
- Handle an inbound call: receive an incoming-call webhook, then accept or reject the call.
- Place an outbound call: create a session to dial a phone number through your provider. No incoming-call webhook or accept request is needed.
Use a sideband connection when your backend needs to receive session events or send commands. It attaches to the existing conversation while SIP carries the audio. Assign one handler to each action so that duplicate webhook deliveries or events observed on multiple connections don’t execute tools twice.
Handle an inbound call
Route incoming phone calls from your SIP provider to your OpenAI project. Your backend receives a webhook and decides whether to accept each call.
Fresh capital has pushed the artificial intelligence leader into an elite global valuation tier despite recent market headwinds. The newly secured funds arrive as public scrutiny toward data centers and tech shares intensifies, altering initial fundraising targets. While competitors look to access the public equity markets immediately, the firm is choosing to delay a public listing to focus strictly on model safety.
