Qwen Audio Agent separates talk from task work

Qwen Audio Agent is an Apache-2.0 realtime voice runtime that keeps a foreground conversation open while compatible background agents handle asynchronous tasks through ACP. Why it matters: A voice agent can feel present while work continues elsewhere, but that convenience joins a live audio surface to the permissions, tools, and credentials of its background agent.

Try this: Install it only in a disposable project, leave the backend in foreground-only mode first, then inspect the ACP command, permission mode, and audio-service settings before attaching an agent.
