LiveKit

LiveKit builds an open source-based developer platform and infrastructure for real-time voice, video and AI agent applications across web, mobile and embedded devices.

LiveKit is a developer platform and infrastructure company for building real-time voice, video and physical AI agent experiences. Founded in 2021, it grew out of an open source media server created to simplify real-time application development. The company now offers a managed platform, an open source media server and SDKs spanning web, mobile and embedded devices.

The LiveKit Platform supports multimodal AI interactions across those devices and powers OpenAI's ChatGPT voice mode. Its customers include leading AI and robotics labs, Fortune 500 companies and more than 200,000 developers and teams, and the infrastructure facilitates billions of calls annually.

Technical work centres on real-time audio and video, WebRTC and media servers, developer SDKs, and voice and multimodal AI agents, extending to infrastructure for robotics. The company operates in the AI, robotics, developer tools, enterprise software and communications sectors.

LiveKit retains its open source roots and a developer-first approach. Its founders identified gaps in developer infrastructure and set out to make building real-time applications markedly easier.
