Long polling is my choice for simple, reliable and plug and play like interfaces. HTTP requests tend to be standard and simplify authentication as well. Systems with frequent but not constant updates are ideal. Text yes. Voice maybe not. Personal Case Study: I built mobile apps which used Flowise assistants for RAG and found websockets compeletely out of line with the rest of my system and interactions. Suddenly I was fitting a round peg in a square hole. I switched to OpenAI assistants and their polling system felt completely "natural" to integrate.
