LiveKit
LiveKit, Inc.
Open-source framework and cloud for realtime voice, video, and physical AI agents.
LiveKit is the realtime infrastructure layer most voice-AI stacks are built on. Its open-source Agents framework wires together streaming speech-to-text, an LLM, and text-to-speech with reliable turn detection, interruption handling, and telephony, so agents can join a session and converse in near real time. You bring your own STT, LLM, and TTS providers; LiveKit handles the low-latency WebRTC transport. It runs self-hosted under Apache 2.0 or as a managed cloud platform.
Worth knowing
OpenAI runs ChatGPT Advanced Voice on LiveKit, which reached a $1B valuation in a Jan 2026 Series C led by Index Ventures.
