I just want to add Wake Word detection no matter its built in or I have to use External one

Thanks for reaching out! The LiveKit Realtime Model (Gemini) doesn’t come with built-in wake word detection, but don’t worry—you can definitely add this feature yourself using custom handlers. For instance, the

agent_extensions

repository includes a handy

WakeWordHandler

that lets you set a wake word (like "hey assistant") and decide when the agent should start processing user input. A great example of this is the home automation agent, which listens for the wake word "hey casa" before it responds. Just a heads-up, these are manual integrations and not native features of the Gemini Realtime Model, but they work really well once set up. If you’d like, I’m here to help guide you through setting up the

WakeWordHandler

or integrating it into your project—just let me know! Sources: Gemini Live API integration guide | LiveKit Docs | README.md | home_assistant/homeautomation.py | livekit-plugins/livekit-plugins-google/livekit/plugins/google/beta/realtime...
