03/27/2025, 10:51 AMI couldn't find specific information about whether the LiveKit agent should be on the same machine as the telephony configuration. This might depend on your specific setup and requirements. If you have further details about your environment, I can try to assist further or escalate this to a specialist for more guidance.

03/27/2025, 10:53 AMTo create a LiveKit agent and integrate it with accepting inbound calls and making outgoing calls, here are the best practices:
1. Create an Agent:
◦ You can start by creating a Voice pipeline agent or set up a speech-to-speech agent using the OpenAI Realtime API quickstart.
1. Telephony Integration:
◦ Purchase a phone number and configure your SIP trunking provider for LiveKit SIP.
◦ Learn about the inbound call workflow for accepting incoming calls and the outbound call workflow for making outgoing calls.
1. Agent Call Handling:
◦ Follow the "Inbound Calls via SIP" guide to handle inbound calls from users to your agent.
◦ Refer to the "Outbound Calls via SIP" guide to enable your agent to make outbound calls to users.
