Infrastructure for a live conversation

Voice agents need to listen, maintain context and respond without the delays of ordinary web requests. LiveKit’s SDKs and Agents framework handle model integrations, turns and interruptions, while its network transports voice and video between agents and users.

From prototype to production calls

The platform supports deployment, session replays, traces and conversation monitoring. It also routes inference requests across providers and connects to telephone carriers. Index Ventures leads the financing, which values LiveKit at $1 billion.
