## Description
Qwen Audio Agent takes a different approach to voice coding: instead of acting like simple dictation, it works as a full-duplex voice runtime that can keep talking to you while Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or another coding agent handles real work in the background. 

In this video, I test how the runtime actually works, including barge-in, live status updates, async coding tasks, ACP handoffs, and the moment a finished task gets injected back into the conversation without killing the voice session.
