LiveKit

LiveKit is an open-source platform designed for building, deploying, and scaling real-time voice AI agents and applications. With ultra low-latency infrastructure and a modular agent framework, it enables developers and enterprises to create advanced conversational agents for web, mobile, and telephony environments.

Key Features

• Open Source Voice Agent Framework: Quickly build and iterate on custom voice agents using Python and other languages.

• Ultra Low-Latency Edge Infrastructure: Achieve end-to-end latency as low as 100ms for seamless, real-time conversations across the globe.

• State-of-the-Art Voice AI Tools: Integrate speech-to-text, text-to-speech, noise cancellation, and semantic turn detection with leading AI models.

• Scalable and Reliable: Powering billions of calls annually, with 99.99% uptime and enterprise-grade compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2 Type 2).

• Telephony Integration: Easily connect your agents to make and receive phone calls.

• Developer Friendly: Extensive guides, quickstart templates, and a virtual playground for testing and iteration.

• Enterprise Ready: Supports large-scale deployments, with robust security and privacy features.

How It Works

1. User Interaction: Users speak to your agent via app, browser, or phone call.

2. Real-Time Streaming: User speech is streamed to your agent through LiveKit Cloud.

3. Custom Logic: The agent processes the audio using your chosen business logic and AI models.

4. Response Delivery: The agent generates and streams speech back to the user, completing the conversational loop.
