dvcrn 🎧 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
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
LIVEKIT_API_KEY |
✅ | LiveKit API key |
LIVEKIT_API_SECRET |
✅ | LiveKit API secret |
LIVEKIT_URL |
✅ | LiveKit server URL (e.g. wss://your-project.livekit.cloud) |
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
- Create a LiveKit room
- Generate tokens for both human and AI agent
- AI agent joins, subscribes to human audio
- Process audio → STT → LLM → TTS → publish back
- Result: real-time voice conversation with AI
