The

useChat

hook in LiveKit is intended for real-time text streaming, but it does not natively stream AI bot responses by itself. This is because: • It does not persist message history by default, so messages may be lost on refresh. • Streaming AI bot responses require separate handling beyond the basic

useChat

hook functions (

chatMessages

array and

send

function). • Integration with AI bots typically uses the LLM plugin's

chat

method, which returns an

LLMStream

for real-time response streaming. If not implemented correctly, responses won't stream live. To enable streaming from your AI bot, you may need to implement custom logic to handle the streaming data from the bot and pass it through LiveKit's text streams. Also, check your network and server configuration to ensure streaming data is properly transmitted. If you have specific errors or details on your implementation, please share them for more tailored advice.
