What it is and why it matters

livekit/agents is a framework for building realtime voice AI agents over WebRTC. It sits in the same layer as other voice orchestrators and is often compared with them when building low-latency spoken conversations. The reviewed videos contain only a passing mention of LiveKit as an alternative, with no real coverage of the repository, so this description relies on its official documentation.
