Is there much difference between the 0.x vs 1.0 agents framework versions? I can see that only the python SDK docs is available for 1.0 I'd love to use the nodejs sdk as my entire stack is built on typescript. Any recommendations on whether I should use the 0.x nodejs or maintain a separate backend with 1.0 python if i want to use in prod?

Thanks for reaching out, Alan. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

Any plans for the nodejs SDK 1.0 to be released soon for production?

Hey there! I totally get the curiosity about Agents Framework 1.0 for Node.js. Right now, the docs just say it's "coming soon" without giving us a specific timeline – I know, a bit frustrating, right? 😊 The team hasn't shared exact release dates or milestones yet. My best advice? Keep an eye on LiveKit's official channels like their GitHub, blog, or community announcements. They'll be the first to share any exciting updates when they're ready!

What are the main benefits for swapping over to the Agents 1.0?

Hey there! I'm excited to share some awesome updates about Agents Framework 1.0 that I think you'll love. We've made some really cool improvements that make building intelligent agents even easier and more powerful. • Unified Agent Interface: Say goodbye to juggling different agent types! Our new

AgentSession

is like a Swiss Army knife that lets you smoothly switch between agent workflows without breaking a sweat. It replaces the old

VoicePipelineAgent

and

MultimodalAgent

, making your life way simpler. • New Features: We've packed Agents 1.0 with some amazing tools—pipeline nodes, synchronized captioning, client-agent RPC, and workflow handling that works beautifully for both open-ended and closed loop agents. It's like we've given you a supercharged toolkit! • Framework Enhancements: We didn't stop there! The framework still rocks solid support for STT, LLM, TTS, real-time APIs, WebRTC, job scheduling, telephony integration, semantic turn detection, and MCP. Basically, we've got you covered from every angle. Bottom line? Agents Framework 1.0 is more streamlined, flexible, and feature-rich than ever before. We've built a rock-solid foundation that makes creating production-grade agents feel like a breeze. Can't wait to see what amazing things you'll build!

What will i lose out on if i use the 0.x versions?

Hey there! I totally understand you might be comfortable with Agents Framework 0.x, but I wanted to give you a friendly heads-up about some amazing improvements you'd get by upgrading to version 1.0. Let me break down why this update could be a game-changer for your projects. • Unified Agent Orchestration: Instead of juggling limited agent classes, you'll now have a super flexible

AgentSession

that makes your workflow so much smoother! • Pipeline Customization: Gone are the days of basic callbacks—now you can truly customize your pipeline nodes exactly how you want. • Tool System: The new tool definition system is way cleaner, requiring less boilerplate and giving you way more flexibility with LLM integration. • Callback & Event Handling: The robust new node and event systems make tracking state and speech so much more intuitive and powerful. • Chat Context: Say goodbye to error-prone context management! Version 1.0 brings a modern, unified approach that just works. • Transcription: You'll love the new streaming transcription protocol—it's a massive leap forward from the old method. • Text Input: Automatic integration for chat and message streams means less manual work for you. • Event System: The combined state change events are a huge improvement over the separated, legacy events. • Removed Integrations: Just a heads up that the OpenAI Assistants API integration from 0.x isn't in 1.0. Bottom line? Version 1.0 is like getting a supercharged toolkit that makes your development smoother, more flexible, and way more powerful. Trust me, you'll love the upgrade!
