Hey everyone! I’m building real-time voice agents and I want to understand LiveKit a bit deeper than the demo level. Can someone explain (in simple technical terms): - how LiveKit handles audio under the hood (WebRTC, RTP, VAD, etc.), - which parts of LiveKit are actually open-source, and - what are the practical ways to reduce end-to-end latency? Also, I see some people using Pipecat for voice agents — why would someone choose LiveKit over Pipecat for real-time calls? (Or when is Pipecat a better fit?) Any insights or high-level explanations would really help 🙏

As I’m building a front-desk agent for clinics & restaurants, my current setup uses one agent with tools like: - booking - cancel - reschedule - get_current_time - save_context_in_redis I want to know from people who’ve built production systems: Is there an ideal number of tools a single agent should handle? Or is it better to split this into multiple smaller agents?

You’re probably still building AI voice agents manually for clients. That’s not a scalable business. It’s time to take your AI agency to the next level by launching your own full-stack SaaS platform — just like I did. The good news: I’ve already built the entire AI voice agent SaaS platform, so you don’t have to. Here’s what’s inside the codebase: 🗣 AI Voice Agent — powered by Vapi & LiveKit⚙ Configurations — prompts, models, knowledge base, and more 📝 Call Logs 📈 Analytics Dashboard 🔐 Sign in / Sign up — Google Authentication ready 💳 Payment Collection — via Stripe 🏢 Multi-Tenant Architecture — one user can be linked to multiple organizations 📞 SIP Connection — integrated with Telnyx ⛔ Rate Limiter — manage usage efficiently And everything else you need to launch a production-ready SaaS platform. 💬 Comment below or DM me if you’re interested in using or acquiring the full codebase for your own AI voice agent business.

It's great to see the Livekit Team joining this community too! Welcome @Darryn Campbell !

Hello everyone, Abdul Basit here — founder of VertikalAgent. I’m building an open-source voice AI system for clinics and restaurants, helping front desks handle calls, bookings, reminders, and customer support automatically. I believe voice automation will become the new standard in 2026 — no missed calls, no waiting, no lost customers. I’m excited to learn and grow with this community. If you’re here, introduce yourself in the comments — let’s connect and learn together. 🚀
