Social & live-streaming apps, the real-time kind.

Feeds, stories, live video with co-hosts, group calls, real-time chat and marketplaces — native on iOS and Android. We built Dentalk end to end, so real-time isn't a stretch goal for us.

Real-time is where most apps break

A feed is easy. Live video with co-hosts, low-latency group calls, real-time chat and presence at scale is where teams without the experience fall apart. We shipped all of it in Dentalk: an Instagram-style feed and stories, live broadcasting, one-to-one and group video calls powered by Agora, an integrated marketplace and full moderation — delivered as native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) apps over a shared backend. We've been through the hard parts of real-time already.

Native performance, moderation and scale

Social apps live and die on responsiveness and safety. We build native for genuine performance, engineer the real-time layer (streaming, calls, chat) on proven infrastructure like Agora, and bake in moderation, reporting and role controls from the start — because a social platform without safety tooling is a liability. From an MVP community app to a full live-commerce platform, we architect for the growth you're hoping for.

Why Ambizent

We've already shipped a real-time social app.

Most app studios have built feeds; few have built live video, group calls and a marketplace in one product and put it in the stores. We did, with Dentalk. That experience means we can tell you honestly what's hard, what it costs, and how to sequence it — and we can build the real-time core without learning on your budget.

FAQ

Social & Live App Development: common questions.

Can you build live video streaming into an app? +

Yes — we built live broadcasting with co-hosts and group video/voice calls in Dentalk using Agora. We handle the real-time layer that most teams struggle with.

Native or cross-platform for a social app? +

For real-time social apps we usually recommend native (Swift + Kotlin) for performance, though we'll advise honestly based on your budget and goals.

Do you include moderation and safety features? +

Yes — reporting, moderation and role-based controls are part of the build. A social platform needs trust & safety tooling from day one, not later.

Can it include an in-app marketplace? +

Yes. Dentalk includes an integrated marketplace, and we can build listings, payments and live-commerce into your platform.

How do you handle scale for real-time features? +

We build on proven real-time infrastructure and architect the backend for concurrency from the start, so live features hold up as your community grows.
