🎧 LiveKit Voice

LiveKit real-time voice/video infrastructure for OpenClaw agents. Create rooms, generate tokens, manage participants, and integrate with voice AI platforms.

What is LiveKit?

LiveKit is an open-source WebRTC infrastructure platform for building real-time audio/video applications. It powers voice AI agents, video conferencing, live streaming, and more.

Self-hosted vs Cloud:

• LiveKit Cloud — Managed service, no infrastructure to maintain
• Self-hosted — Deploy on your own servers via Docker/Kubernetes

Requirements

Quick Start

# Create a room
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/livekit_api.py create-room my-room

# Create room with options
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/livekit_api.py create-room my-room --max-participants 10 --empty-timeout 300

# Generate access token for a participant
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/livekit_api.py token my-room --identity user123 --name "John"

# Generate token with specific grants
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/livekit_api.py token my-room --identity agent --can-publish --can-subscribe

# List active rooms
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/livekit_api.py list-rooms

# List participants in a room
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/livekit_api.py participants my-room

# Delete a room
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/livekit_api.py delete-room my-room

# Start recording (Egress)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/livekit_api.py record my-room --output s3://bucket/recording.mp4

Commands

create-room <name>

Create a new LiveKit room.

• --max-participants N — limit participants
• --empty-timeout N — seconds before empty room auto-closes (default 300)

token <room>

Generate a JWT access token for a participant.

• --identity ID — participant identity (required)
• --name NAME — display name
• --can-publish — allow publishing audio/video
• --can-subscribe — allow subscribing to others
• --ttl N — token TTL in seconds (default 3600)

list-rooms

List all active rooms with participant counts.

participants <room>

List participants in a room with their connection state and tracks.

delete-room <name>

Delete/close a room and disconnect all participants.

record <room>

Start an Egress recording of a room.

• --output URL — output destination (S3, GCS, or local path)

Voice AI Integration

LiveKit is the backbone for many voice AI platforms:

• Vapi — Uses LiveKit for real-time voice AI agent calls
• ElevenLabs — Stream TTS audio into LiveKit rooms
• OpenAI Realtime — Connect GPT-4o voice to LiveKit participants

Agent Pattern

1. Create a LiveKit room
2. Generate tokens for both human and AI agent
3. AI agent joins, subscribes to human audio
4. Process audio → STT → LLM → TTS → publish back
5. Result: real-time voice conversation with AI
