With Livekit, how to use send_data to send some specific instruction to an ai participant and listen to that?

Thanks for reaching out, Ankit. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
To send specific instructions to an AI participant using LiveKit's
send_data
method, you can follow these steps: • Use the
send_data
method to send data messages to participants in a room. This method allows you to specify the room name, data payload, delivery type (reliable or lossy), and target participant identities. • For reliable delivery, packets are delivered in order with automatic retransmission in case of packet loss. For lossy delivery, packets are sent once without ordering guarantees, which is ideal for real-time updates. • In JavaScript/TypeScript, you can use the
RoomServiceClient.sendData
method, which also allows you to include options like a topic and destination IDs to target specific participants. For listening to the data, the AI participant should implement a listener to process incoming data messages. This can be done by subscribing to the appropriate data events in the SDK you are using. If you need further details or examples, feel free to ask! Sources: livekit.api.room_service API documentation | Data packets | LiveKit Docs | RoomServiceClient | LiveKit JS Server SDK - v2.9.7

I'm sorry, but I don't have the information you need at the moment. If you would like a member of the LiveKit team to respond, please ask your question in one of the other channels.
