What LiveKit does
LiveKit is an open-source framework and developer platform for building, testing, deploying, scaling, and observing voice, video, and physical AI agents. Built on WebRTC, it provides the real-time media infrastructure that conversational AI applications need to interact with users through voice and video.
Key capabilities
LiveKit pairs an agents framework with media server technology for real-time communication, along with SDKs for integration and a cloud dashboard for management and monitoring. Its WebRTC-based infrastructure includes codec support and connection testing tools. Teams can use the open-source framework directly or adopt the managed LiveKit Cloud platform for scaling and observability, with documentation and community resources for WebRTC implementation.
Who it's for
LiveKit serves developers and organizations building conversational and real-time AI applications that require voice and video interaction, ranging from individual developers using the open-source project to enterprises deploying agents on the managed cloud platform.
