## What We Build with LiveKit

From voice AI prototypes to production telephony systems handling thousands of concurrent calls.

### Production Voice AI Agents

End-to-end voice pipelines using LiveKit Agents with Deepgram STT and Cartesia or Rime TTS. We build agents that listen, think, and respond in under 500 milliseconds, handling interruptions, turn-taking, and natural conversation flow that users expect from production voice systems.

### SIP Trunking & Telephony Integration

Connect your AI agents to the phone network through LiveKit SIP and Twilio. We handle inbound and outbound calling, IVR replacement, call transfer to human agents, DTMF tone detection, and the telephony edge cases that only surface when real customers start calling.

### Real-Time WebRTC Communication

Low-latency audio and video streaming built on LiveKit's WebRTC infrastructure. We implement browser-based voice interfaces, multi-party conferencing with AI participants, and real-time transcription overlays, all optimized for the latency constraints of live conversation.

### Multimodal Voice Interfaces

Voice-first applications that combine speech with touch, text, and visual elements. We build accessible interfaces for iPads, kiosks, and web browsers where users can speak, tap, or type, and the AI responds through the most appropriate channel.

### Voice Pipeline Observability

Full-stack monitoring of your voice AI system with LangFuse and Arize. We instrument every stage of the pipeline (STT latency, LLM inference time, TTS generation, WebRTC delivery) so you can identify bottlenecks, track costs per conversation, and catch quality regressions before users notice.

### Edge & Cloud Voice Deployment

Deploy voice agents on cloud infrastructure for scale or on edge devices like Raspberry Pi and Mac Mini for low-latency local processing. We architect hybrid deployments where STT and TTS run at the edge while LLM inference happens in the cloud, optimizing for both cost and response time.

## Why Voice AI Needs Senior Engineers, Not Tutorial Followers

A LiveKit voice agent demo takes an afternoon to build. A production voice system takes months of engineering decisions that determine whether your users have a conversation or a frustrating experience. The difference is in the details: how the system handles overlapping speech, what happens when the STT provider returns garbage during a noisy call, how the agent recovers when the LLM takes 3 seconds instead of 300 milliseconds, and how you debug a conversation that went wrong at 2 AM.

Voice AI has unique failure modes that text-based systems never encounter. Echo cancellation that works in a quiet office fails in a car with the windows down. Endpointing algorithms that detect when a user has stopped speaking need tuning per use case, because a 1-second pause means something different in a medical consultation than in a quick customer service call. SIP integration with telephony providers involves protocol-level debugging that most developers have never touched.

We shipped a production LiveKit voice assistant for Medicare patients in two weeks, from first line of code to real users on iPads. We actively contribute to the LiveKit open source community, file issues, and help other developers in the forums. When you hit a wall with LiveKit, we have likely already solved it, or we know the maintainers who can help.

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is LiveKit and why use it for voice AI?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"LiveKit is an open-source real-time communication platform built on WebRTC. It provides the infrastructure for low-latency audio and video streaming, plus a purpose-built Agents framework for voice AI applications. We use LiveKit because it handles the hard parts of real-time communication (NAT traversal, codec negotiation, adaptive bitrate, echo cancellation) so we can focus on building the AI logic. Unlike proprietary platforms, LiveKit gives us full control over the deployment, from self-hosted on-premise installations to managed cloud deployments."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How do you achieve sub-500ms voice response times?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Voice latency is the sum of five stages: audio capture, speech-to-text, LLM inference, text-to-speech, and audio delivery. We optimize each one. For STT, we use Deepgram's streaming API which returns partial transcripts as the user speaks, so we can start processing before they finish talking. For LLM inference, we use streaming responses and start TTS generation on the first sentence rather than waiting for the complete response. For TTS, Cartesia and Rime both offer low-latency streaming synthesis. We also co-locate services to minimize network hops and use LiveKit's built-in audio processing to reduce capture latency."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How does LiveKit SIP integration work with Twilio?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"LiveKit SIP allows your voice AI agents to connect to the public telephone network. Twilio provides the SIP trunking, giving you phone numbers and PSTN connectivity. When a customer calls your Twilio number, the call is routed via SIP to your LiveKit server, where an AI agent picks up and handles the conversation in real time. We configure the SIP endpoints, handle authentication, manage call routing rules, and implement features like call transfer, hold, and DTMF detection. This means your voice AI agent is reachable from any phone, not just through a web browser."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the difference between Deepgram, Cartesia, Rime, and ElevenLabs?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Deepgram is a speech-to-text provider known for fast, accurate transcription with excellent streaming support. Cartesia is a text-to-speech provider optimized for low latency and natural-sounding voices, making it ideal for real-time conversation. Rime focuses on expressive, high-quality TTS with fast generation times. ElevenLabs offers the most natural-sounding voices with extensive voice cloning capabilities, but at higher latency. We typically pair Deepgram for STT with Cartesia or Rime for TTS in latency-sensitive applications, and use ElevenLabs when voice quality and brand voice consistency matter more than raw speed."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can you replace our existing IVR system with a voice AI agent?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, and this is one of the most common use cases we implement. Traditional IVR systems force callers through rigid menu trees ('Press 1 for sales, press 2 for support'). A LiveKit voice AI agent lets callers speak naturally and routes them intelligently based on intent. We integrate with your existing telephony through SIP trunking, so your phone numbers and call routing infrastructure stay the same. The migration can be gradual: start by handling one call type with AI and fall back to the existing IVR for everything else, then expand as you validate the results."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How do you handle voice AI in noisy environments?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"LiveKit includes built-in noise suppression and echo cancellation through Krisp integration. On top of that, we configure Deepgram's endpointing settings to handle environments where background noise might cause false triggers. We implement voice activity detection (VAD) to distinguish between speech and ambient noise, and we tune the interruption detection so the agent does not cut off users in loud settings. For deployment on physical devices like kiosks or tablets, we also test with realistic noise profiles and adjust the audio processing pipeline accordingly."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What observability do you implement for voice AI pipelines?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"We instrument every stage of the voice pipeline with LangFuse for trace-level observability. Each conversation generates a trace showing: STT latency and confidence scores, LLM prompt and response with token counts, TTS generation time, end-to-end response latency (time from user stops speaking to agent starts speaking), and conversation quality metrics. We also integrate Sentry for error tracking and alerting. This gives you dashboards showing cost per conversation, average response latency, STT accuracy rates, and conversation completion rates, so you can optimize both the user experience and the infrastructure costs."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can LiveKit voice agents work on mobile devices and iPads?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. LiveKit's WebRTC-based architecture works natively in mobile browsers and can be embedded in native iOS and Android apps through LiveKit's client SDKs. We have built voice AI interfaces for iPads specifically designed for accessibility, combining large touch targets with voice interaction for users who may not be comfortable with small text interfaces. The same LiveKit server handles both web and mobile clients, so your voice agent works consistently across all devices without maintaining separate codebases."}}]}
