LiveKit’s tools power real-time communications, including OpenAI’s Voice Mode


A challenge for many tech companies is delivering high-bandwidth, multimodal data — for example, simultaneous audio and video — to users in real time

To ease the burden, Russ d’Sa and David Zhao created LiveKit, an open-source software package for building apps that can transmit real-time audio and video. He also says it’s the “backbone for roughly 25% of 911 emergency calls in the U.S.” and “used by large aerospace companies for launch and flight observation, Skydio for police drones teleoperation, and teams at Oracle and Adobe in various government applications.” Today, LiveKit, which also powers OpenAI’s ChatGPT Voice Mode, offers SDKs, tools, and APIs that allow developers and companies to build streaming video and audio experiences.
