LiveKit

Overview

Build and host real-time voice and video AI agents.

LiveKit, an open-source framework and cloud platform for building and hosting real-time voice, video, and physical AI agents. Provides a media server, WebRTC support, and SDKs for browser, mobile, and server environments, plus a cloud dashboard for session management and monitoring.

Supports low-latency streaming, multi-party calls, TTS and speech-to-text integrations, and telephony connectors for unified web and phone workflows. Enables granular agent code control and integration with external model providers and speech APIs for conversational AI, contact center automation, and robotics use cases.

Offers scalable hosting and deployment tools, metrics and connection tests, and programmatic APIs for production rollouts. Includes open-source components, managed cloud options, developer documentation, and community support to accelerate prototyping and production implementations.

Use Cases

• Build a low-latency live video conferencing and collaboration app using LiveKit's open-source WebRTC SDKs and media server, adding screen sharing, recording, scalable hosting and programmatic APIs for custom workflows and integrations.
• Deploy a conversational voice contact center that uses LiveKit's telephony connectors, STT and TTS to power AI-driven agents for inbound/outbound calls, real-time monitoring and seamless handoff to human operators while scaling on-demand.
• Create remote robotic teleoperation and voice-enabled physical AI agents by streaming high-frame-rate video with LiveKit, using STT for voice commands, TTS for agent responses, and the platform's low-latency hosting and APIs to coordinate sensors and actuators.
