Livekit

LiveKit provides an open-source framework and cloud platform that enables developers to build, deploy, and manage real-time communication and AI-driven applications involving voice, video, and data streams. The company’s tools abstract the complexity of WebRTC infrastructure by offering scalable media routing, session management, and SDKs for platforms such as web, iOS, Android, and backend environments, supporting low-latency interaction across diverse use cases. LiveKit’s platform includes features to support AI agent development, multimodal communication, telephony integration, and real-time conferencing that help engineering teams incorporate interactive media into applications without building the underlying transport layer from scratch. Its offering allows teams to choose between self-hosting or using a globally managed cloud service with consistent APIs, enabling a unified development experience across deployment models. LiveKit’s capabilities also extend to real-time data exchange, encryption, and adaptive streaming features that support secure and responsive applications. The company works with developers to integrate its communication layer into solutions such as collaborative tools, live streaming, customer support interfaces, and AI voice agents that interact through audio and video in real time.
