hey i building a voice agent with agentic rag with langgraph i having problem to integrate with livekit can anyone help me how to do it

Thanks for reaching out, arpan. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
To integrate LiveKit with a voice agent using Agentic RAG and LangGraph, follow these steps: 1. LangGraph Integration with LiveKit • Install the required dependencies:
Copy code
pip install "livekit-plugins-langchain~=1.1"
• Use LangGraph workflows within an
AgentSession
by wrapping them with the `LLMAdapter`:
Copy code
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph
from livekit.agents import AgentSession, Agent
from livekit.plugins import langchain

# Define your LangGraph workflow
def create_workflow():
    workflow = StateGraph(...)
    # Add your nodes and edges
    return workflow.compile()

# Use the workflow as an LLM
session = AgentSession(
    llm=langchain.LLMAdapter(
        graph=create_workflow()
    ),
    # ... stt, tts, vad, turn_detection, etc.
)
2. Complete LangGraph Agent ExampleHere is a working example:
Copy code
import logging
from langgraph.graph import START, StateGraph
from livekit.agents import Agent, AgentSession, JobContext
from livekit.plugins import deepgram, langchain, silero
from livekit.plugins.turn_detector.multilingual import MultilingualModel

class State(TypedDict):
    messages: list[BaseMessage]

def create_graph() -> StateGraph:
    openai_llm = init_chat_model(model="openai:gpt-4o")

    def chatbot_node(state: State):
        return {"messages": [openai_llm.invoke(state["messages"])]}

    builder = StateGraph(State)
    builder.add_node("chatbot", chatbot_node)
    builder.add_edge(START, "chatbot")
    return builder.compile()

async def entrypoint(ctx: JobContext):
    graph = create_graph()

    agent = Agent(
        instructions="",
        llm=langchain.LLMAdapter(graph),
    )

    session = AgentSession(
        vad=ctx.proc.userdata["vad"],
        stt=deepgram.STT(model="nova-3", language="multi"),
        tts=deepgram.TTS(),
        turn_detection=MultilingualModel(),
    )

    await session.start(agent=agent, room=ctx.room)
3. Adding RAG FunctionalityTo implement Agentic RAG, integrate RAG capabilities using function tools. For example:
Copy code
from livekit.agents import llm
from livekit.plugins import openai

class RAGHandler:
    def __init__(self, index_path, data_path):
        self._annoy_index = AnnoyIndex.load(index_path)
        with open(data_path, "rb") as f:
            self._paragraphs_by_uuid = pickle.load(f)

    def start(self, agent):
        @agent.fnc_ctx.ai_callable()
        async def enrich_with_rag(code: int):
            await self._handle_thinking(agent)
            await self._enrich_with_rag(agent, agent.chat_ctx)
4. Key Integration Points • The
LLMAdapter
converts LiveKit chat context to LangChain messages, enabling seamless integration. • Combine LangGraph workflows with RAG functionality by injecting relevant documents or using function tools. Let me know if you need further clarification or assistance with specific parts of the integration.

t
Hey there! I totally understand how frustrating TimeoutErrors can be. Let me walk you through some friendly ways to tackle this and make your system more reliable. 1. Configure Connection Timeouts Think of this like setting up a good communication plan with your network. You'll want to make sure your connections have some breathing room:
Copy code
http_client=httpx.AsyncClient(
    timeout=httpx.Timeout(connect=15.0, read=5.0, write=5.0, pool=5.0),
    follow_redirects=True,
    limits=httpx.Limits(
        max_connections=50,
        max_keepalive_connections=50,
        keepalive_expiry=120,
    ),
)
2. Handle API Timeout Exceptions No worries! We can catch those tricky timeout moments and handle them gracefully:
Copy code
except asyncio.TimeoutError as e:
    logger.error(f"Timeout during connection/initialization: {e}")
    raise APITimeoutError("Timeout connecting to or initializing session") from e
3. Implement Retry Logic Sometimes things just need a second chance. Here's how we can give our system that opportunity:
Copy code
except ModelTimeoutException as mte:
    logger.warning(f"Model timeout error: {mte}\nAttempting to recover...")
    await self._restart_session(mte)
4. Provide User Feedback Keep things friendly by letting users know what's happening:
Copy code
thinking_messages = [
    "Let me look that up...",
    "One moment while I check...",
    "I'll find that information for you...",
]

async def enrich_with_rag():
    await agent.say(random.choice(thinking_messages))
    # Perform RAG lookup...
5. Monitor and Optimize - Set timeout values that make sense for your system - Use connection pooling to keep things smooth - Keep an eye on those logs to spot any patterns 6. Graceful Timeout Handling Always have a backup plan for when things don't go quite right:
Copy code
def _on_timeout() -> None:
    if not fut.done():
        fut.set_exception(
            llm.RealtimeError(
                "generate_reply timed out waiting for generation_created event."
            )
        )
I hope these tips help you smooth out those timeout bumps! Feel free to reach out if you need any more advice. We've got this! 😊 Sources: livekit-agents/livekit/agents/__init__.py | agent_extensions/agent_extensions/rag/handler.py | Egress & Media Processing | livekit/livekit_composite | DeepWiki

File "E:\GENAI\genai\Lib\asyncio\events.py", line 84, in _run self._context.run(self._callback, *self._args) asyncio.exceptions.InvalidStateError: invalid state
t
Hey there! 👋 I totally get how frustrating those
asyncio.exceptions.InvalidStateError
can be when you're working with LiveKit. Let me break down what's happening and share some friendly solutions that should help smooth things out. 1. AudioSource Frame Capture Errors Sometimes your audio frame queue can get a bit overwhelmed – no worries! An easy fix is to give it some extra breathing room when you're creating your `AudioSource`:
Copy code
audio_source = rtc.AudioSource(
    sample_rate=sample_rate,
    num_channels=channels,
    queue_size_ms=2000  # Think of this like giving your audio some extra personal space
)
By bumping up the
queue_size_ms
, you're basically telling your system, "Hey, take your time processing these audio frames!" A larger value like 2000ms gives you more buffer and helps prevent those pesky capture failures. 2. Future State Management Errors Another common hiccup happens when you're trying to set a result on a future that's already done its job. No stress – here's a super clean way to handle it:
Copy code
import contextlib
import asyncio

with contextlib.suppress(asyncio.InvalidStateError):
    future.set_result(value)
This trick is super handy in LiveKit for things like: - Wrapping up speech handles - Finishing audio playback - Managing inference requests - Finalizing run results Best Practices - For audio streaming: Start with a queue size between 1000-2000ms if you're processing audio continuously. - When handling futures: Use that
contextlib.suppress()
method to keep things smooth. - Stay updated: Keep your LiveKit SDK current and keep an eye on your application logs. Ran into any other tricky spots? I'm here to help you troubleshoot!

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'livekit.agents.voice_assistant'
t
The ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'livekit.agents.voice_assistant' can be a bit frustrating, right? No worries—I totally get it! This error pops up because the voice assistant module has been restructured in the LiveKit Agents package. Let me walk you through how to set this up correctly, just like a friend helping a friend. 😊 1. Correct Imports Here's how you'll want to import things:
Copy code
from livekit.agents import (
    Agent,
    AgentSession,
    RoomInputOptions,
    RoomOutputOptions,
    llm,
)
from livekit.plugins import openai
2. Example Voice Agent Setup Check out this simple way to create your voice agent:
Copy code
from livekit.agents import AgentSession, Agent
from livekit.plugins import openai

session = AgentSession(
    llm=openai.realtime.RealtimeModel(
        voice="coral"
    )
)

await session.start(
    room=ctx.room,
    agent=Agent(instructions="You are a helpful voice AI assistant.")
)
3. Verify Installation Just to make sure everything's smooth, run this:
Copy code
pip install livekit-agents
4. Check Documentation Pro tip: Always peek at the latest LiveKit docs to stay up to date with any changes. If you're still scratching your head, I'm here to help! Just give me a shout, and we'll figure this out together. 🤝 Sources: livekit-agents/livekit/agents/resources/__init__.py | agent/requirements.txt
