Thanks for reaching out, David. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Hi there! I wanted to share some helpful info about the AssemblyAI STT integration in LiveKit. When the
format_turns
parameter is enabled (which it is by default, set to
True
), your audio transcripts will be nicely formatted after each end-of-turn detection. To help get this working smoothly for you, could you please double-check the following? • Make sure the
format_turns
parameter is explicitly set to
True
in your setup. Here’s a quick example:
Copy code
from livekit.plugins import assemblyai

stt_instance = assemblyai.STT(format_turns=True)
• Also, please verify that your AssemblyAI API key is correctly set up, either through the
ASSEMBLYAI_API_KEY
environment variable or passed directly when creating the STT instance. If you’re still running into issues, it might be related to things like WebSocket reconnections, how the API configuration is sent, turn detection settings, or even audio quality. Feel free to reach out if you want to dive into these more advanced troubleshooting steps—I’m here to help!

How do i update .env file of an agent deployment to livekit cloud
t
Let's walk through how you can update the
.env
file for your agent deployment to LiveKit Cloud using the LiveKit CLI. This method helps you securely inject your environment variables as secrets. Here’s a simple guide to help you: 1. Prepare Your Secrets File: Start by creating a
.env
file with your environment variables in the
KEY=value
format. For example:
Copy code
LIVEKIT_URL=<wss://your-project.livekit.cloud>
LIVEKIT_API_KEY=your-api-key
LIVEKIT_API_SECRET=your-api-secret
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-key
1. Update Secrets Using the CLI: Next, use this command to update your secrets:
Copy code
lk agent update-secrets --secrets-file .env.local
If you don’t have a
livekit.toml
file handy, no worries! Just specify your agent ID like this:
Copy code
lk agent update-secrets --id CA_YourAgentId --secrets-file .env.local
And if you want to replace all existing secrets, simply add the
--overwrite
flag:
Copy code
lk agent update-secrets --secrets-file .env.local --overwrite
1. Optional: To see a list of your current secrets (just the names), you can run:
Copy code
lk agent secrets
Just a quick heads-up: the
LIVEKIT_API_KEY
,
LIVEKIT_API_SECRET
, and
LIVEKIT_URL
are managed separately through your project configuration, so they aren’t injected as regular secrets. Also, keep in mind that updating secrets will trigger a rolling restart of your agent. If you’d like to dive deeper or need more details, feel free to check out the Secrets Management documentation. I’m here if you have any questions along the way!
