stacks
Open-source realtime framework from LiveKit for building voice, video, and multimodal AI agents.
Lets developers build AI agents that join LiveKit rooms as realtime participants, streaming audio through an STT-LLM-TTS pipeline or connecting to realtime speech-to-speech models. Provides turn detection, interruption handling, multi-agent handoff, tool use, and telephony integration. SDKs are available for Python and Node.js under the Apache 2.0 license. Agents can be deployed to LiveKit Cloud, which adds managed deployment, observability, and hosted model inference, or to self-managed infrastructure.
Strengths
- Full STT-LLM-TTS pipeline with turn detection and interruption handling built in
- Apache 2.0 licensed with Python and Node.js SDKs
- Telephony support and multi-agent handoff for complex call flows
- Self-hostable or managed via LiveKit Cloud with built-in observability
Tradeoffs
- Tightly coupled to LiveKit's room/WebRTC infrastructure model
- Running production-grade realtime media servers yourself adds significant ops burden versus using LiveKit Cloud
