Thanks for reaching out, Ashish. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
To receive messages from backend agents in your React app using LiveKit, follow these steps: 1. Use the
useVoiceAssistant
and
useRoomContext
Hooks:
Import and use these hooks to connect to the agent and access the LiveKit room. 2. Set Up the
AgentProvider
Context:
Wrap your component tree with
AgentProvider
to manage agent-related state. 3. Listen for Transcription Events: Use
useEffect
to listen for
RoomEvent.TranscriptionReceived
events in the room context. This allows you to capture messages from the backend. 4. Process and Display Transcriptions: Use
useState
to manage transcription state and sort/merge segments for display in your UI. 5. Use the
useAgent
Hook:
Create a custom hook to provide easy access to agent-related state. 6. Display Messages: Render the received messages in your UI using the processed transcription state. For additional message handling, you can also use the
useDataChannel
hook. Let me know if you need further assistance!
