Hi there! I wanted to share some helpful info about LiveKit Agents and their support for text-only mode during long-running chat sessions. While it does require dispatching to a virtual room, you can definitely disable audio input and output and still enjoy smooth text-based communication through LiveKit's text stream feature. Here’s how you can set it up: • Use

RoomInputOptions(text_enabled=True, audio_enabled=False)

to accept text input. • Use

RoomOutputOptions(transcription_enabled=True, audio_enabled=False)

to enable text output without audio. Just so you know, text input goes to the

lk.chat

text stream topic, and agent responses are sent to the

lk.transcription

topic. The AgentSession framework works within a LiveKit room context, so fully room-less text-only sessions aren’t supported at this time. If you have any questions or would like some help getting this set up, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help!
