Thanks for reaching out, Jason. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Absolutely! LiveKit warmly supports video and voice agents through a dedicated framework designed to help you build amazing multimodal AI assistants. This means you can have real-time, programmable participants that gracefully handle both audio and video input. To get video input working for your agent, you simply need to set
video_enabled=True
in the
RoomInputOptions
. Video frames are thoughtfully processed using a sampling mechanism, which you can customize to fit different frame rates. On the voice side, the pipeline includes helpful features like turn detection, voice activity detection (VAD), and interruption handling to make interactions smooth and natural. We also offer client-side templates for popular platforms like Swift, Flutter, and React, all supporting video and voice input. Plus, there are complete examples ready for you to explore, including the Gemini video agent and some exciting vision demos to get you started with confidence. If you’d like more details or a hand with implementation, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m here to help!
