What is a vCon?
A vCon (Virtualized Conversation) is an open standard being finalized by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) that defines a universal container format for conversation data. A vCon packages the full context of any conversation — audio, video, transcript, metadata, and analysis — into a single, portable, structured data object that can be stored, routed, processed, and analyzed by AI systems. vCons work across voice calls, video meetings, chat threads, and email chains.
