To implement a WebRTC call for an AI voice agent, you can use LiveKit's Agents framework, which provides the necessary infrastructure for low-latency audio streaming and integration with AI models like OpenAI's Realtime API. Here's an overview of the process:
• LiveKit's framework bridges WebSocket (used by OpenAI's Realtime API) to WebRTC, ensuring low-latency audio transmission.
• User audio is transmitted to LiveKit's edge network via WebRTC and routed to your backend agent over low-latency connections.
• The backend agent relays audio to OpenAI's model via WebSocket, and the AI-generated speech is streamed back to the user through WebRTC.
The framework supports Python and Node.js, offers SDKs for various platforms, and can be deployed via LiveKit Cloud or self-hosted OSS. For detailed implementation steps, you can refer to the "Speech-to-speech agent" guide in LiveKit's documentation.
