is there a helper utility to extract the call transcript as a single string in/for the llm.ChatContext, or should I just get all the mensages an timestamps and construct it on my end?

Thanks for reaching out, Francisco. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Thanks — great question. Regarding extracting a call transcript from `llm.ChatContext`: there isn’t a built-in helper that returns the entire transcript as a single serialized string. You’ll need to read the stored messages from the
ChatContext
and construct the transcript yourself (including role, content, and timestamps if you want them). A simple approach: 1. Iterate the messages in the
ChatContext
in chronological order. 2. For each message, append the role (user/assistant/system), timestamp (if present), and content into your preferred text format. 3. Join the pieces into one string and pass that into your
llm.ChatContext
or LLM prompt. If you’d like, tell me: • which fields your messages include (e.g.,
role
,
content
,
timestamp
), and • the exact format you want for the transcript (simple "role: content" lines, or timestamped lines), and I can provide a short code snippet that builds the string in that format. Sources: External data and RAG | LiveKit Documentation | Pipeline nodes and hooks | LiveKit Documentation

are entries in there guaranteed to be sorted by timestamp?

Thanks — quick answer: entries in
llm.ChatContext
are not guaranteed to be sorted by timestamp. The context preserves the order messages were added (insertion order), not an automatic timestamp-based sort. If you need transcript ordering by time, do this when you read the messages: 1. Extract each message’s timestamp, role, and content. 2. Sort the messages by the timestamp field. 3. Format/join them into a single string. If you’d like, tell me the message fields you have (exact timestamp field name and format) and the transcript format you want (e.g., "HH:MM — role: content" or simple "role: content"), and I’ll provide a short code snippet to sort and build the transcript.
