LiveKit, founded in 2021, provides an open-source developer platform and infrastructure for building real-time audio, video, voice, and AI agent interactions across web, mobile, and embedded devices. What began as a media server and accompanying SDKs has evolved into a comprehensive platform used by over 200,000 developers and teams, facilitating billions of calls annually.
The platform underpins some of the most demanding real-time applications in production today, including OpenAI's ChatGPT voice mode. LiveKit's infrastructure is relied upon by leading AI and robotics labs as well as Fortune 500 companies, spanning use cases from multimodal AI interactions to robotics integration.
Technically, LiveKit spans a broad set of domains: real-time audio and video, voice, physical AI agents, and developer tooling for embedded and mobile devices. Its open-source roots remain central to its positioning - the platform is designed to give developers a production-grade foundation for building applications where AI interacts with the world in real time, without having to construct low-level media infrastructure from scratch.
