What's the difference between the agent sandbox and the agent playground
t
Thanks for reaching out, Neel. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Could you clarify what you mean by 'agent sandbox'? Are you referring to a specific feature or tool within LiveKit? This will help me provide a more accurate comparison with the agent playground.

The LiveKit Sandbox and Agent Playground are two awesome tools that might sound similar, but they're actually pretty different - let me break it down for you in a friendly way: • LiveKit Sandbox: Think of this like your creative playground where you can bring your app ideas to life without getting tangled up in complicated deployments. It's perfect for trying out AI voice assistants, sketching out mobile or web apps, or setting up video chat rooms. Basically, it's your all-in-one spot for prototyping full applications! • Agent Playground: This is more like your testing workshop. If you want to check out specific components like BarVisualizer or VoiceAssistantControlBar and see how they work in real-time, this is your go-to space. It's great for diving deep into individual features. Got more questions? I'm all ears - just ask, and I'll be happy to help you out! 😊 Sources: Sandbox | LiveKit Docs | Integrating with your frontend | LiveKit Docs

Can you elaborate on this - "BarVisualizer or VoiceAssistantControlBar"
t
BarVisualizer and VoiceAssistantControlBar are two awesome UI components that can really level up your voice agent experience in LiveKit: • BarVisualizer: Imagine having a cool visual representation of your agent's audio! This component creates those awesome vertical bars that show what's happening - whether your agent is listening intently or deep in thought. The best part? You can totally customize how it looks, tweaking the number of bars and their style to match your app's vibe. Pretty neat, right? • VoiceAssistantControlBar: Think of this as your agent's control center - it gives you quick access to audio settings and lets you disconnect when you need to. The really cool thing is that both of these work seamlessly with the useVoiceAssistant hook, which handles all the behind-the-scenes magic. You can play around with them in the LiveKit realtime playground, and they're already included if you're building an app with the LiveKit Sandbox. Curious to know more? I'd be happy to chat about the details! Sources: Integrating with your frontend | LiveKit Docs | Integrating with your frontend | LiveKit Docs | Integrating with your frontend | LiveKit Docs
