LiveKit exposes an API for programmatically managing rooms, agents, and media sessions. The open-source agent framework lets developers compose pipelines that chain LLM, STT, and TTS providers — switchable per request via the inference gateway. WebRTC is the underlying transport, with SIP/telephony bridging available for PSTN and Twilio-based integrations. The platform is self-hostable for teams with data-residency requirements, or deployable as a managed cloud service across 19+ regions. Full-stack observability is built in, covering agent session metrics and usage. Compliance certifications include GDPR, SOC 2 Type 2, and HIPAA. Supported provider integrations include: OpenAI, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, xAI Grok, Deepgram, AssemblyAI, Cartesia, Speechmatics, Fish Audio, Twilio, SIP, and WebRTC.
