Yes — you can dispatch an AI agent to join a LiveKit room (for example, "test-room") from inside your

if __name__ == "__main__":

block. What to do: • Create an agent dispatch that targets

room="test-room"

using the LiveKit API. • Start your agent server so it accepts the dispatched job; your

@server.rtc_session()

entrypoint will be invoked with

ctx.room.name == "test-room"

. • The room will be created automatically if it doesn't exist. Minimal example (async):

from livekit import api
from livekit.agents import cli, AgentServer
import asyncio

# assume server and your @server.rtc_session() handler are defined

async def dispatch_and_run():
    lkapi = api.LiveKitAPI()
    await lkapi.agent_dispatch.create_dispatch(
        api.CreateAgentDispatchRequest(agent_name="your-agent-name", room="test-room")
    )
    await lkapi.aclose()
    cli.run_app(server)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(dispatch_and_run())

Would you like a version that: • uses a sync wrapper instead, or • includes token generation and SDK connection code inside the agent session handler? Sources: Agent dispatch | LiveKit docs
