Why LiveKit

The only platform where AI, humans, and phones share one room.

WebRTC-native

Sub-100ms latency for voice AI. Not WebSocket buffering — real UDP transport with adaptive bitrate.

Room architecture

Humans, AI agents, and SIP callers in one session. Same primitives, same SDKs, infinite combinations.

Fully open source

Self-host everything. Apache 2.0 licensed. Same APIs whether you use Cloud or your own infrastructure.

12+ SDKs

Web, iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native, Unity, C++, Rust, Python, Node.js, Go, ESP32.

Learning Tracks

From first principles to production deployment
