nothing beats shipping a PR to the tools you actually use. just landed my first contribution to the @livekit agents framework!
graceful for this tech exists <3
We learn to speak before we learn to read.
Voice is the most natural interface we have.
We just raised a $100M to make building voice AI as easy as a web app.
The Grok Voice Agent API is compatible with the OpenAI Realtime API specification and also available via the official xAI LiveKit Plugin.
In the next few weeks, we’ll be releasing standalone text-to-speech and speech-to-text endpoints, as well as even stronger audio models.

Agents 1.2 for Python is now released!
This includes our new test framework, observability w/ OpenTelemetry traces, half-duplex support (swapping a realtime model's voice w/ your own TTS), significant improvements to end of turn model (now with Hindi) and more!
Let's dig in ...
livekit-agents 1.2 is going to introduce AgentTask and workflows. These make it easy to handle common tasks like grabbing a user’s email or product number—all by voice, with just one line of code.
