Thanks for reaching out, Guillaume. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
In the LiveKit Python SDK, the
AgentSession
isn’t directly accessible from the
Room
or
JobContext
. Instead, it’s a separate object that you create and manage within your application logic. You connect it to the
Room
by passing the
Room
instance to the session’s
start()
method. To work with the
AgentSession
, it’s best to store it in a variable within your code, usually in the
entrypoint
function. This way, you can easily manage its lifecycle and interact with it whenever needed. If you want to share the session with other parts of your app, you can simply pass the stored session variable to those components. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like me to walk you through some examples or clarify anything further—I’m here to help!
