Review LiveKit?

Reviewers mostly praise LiveKit for being open source, flexible, and dependable for real-time voice and video work. Users like that it feels modular and easy to plug into different stacks, while one user also wonders how well it handles weak networks or audio sync issues by default. Founders of Inworld, SpatialChat, and Firecoach AI highlight reliability, low latency, deep pipeline control, and easier integration into live audio systems.

used LiveKit to build graph8

•5 reviews

We use LiveKit as the orchestrator for everything voice-related in our platform — from real-time conversations to AI-driven phone calls. It handles signaling, session management, and audio streaming across our voice AI and telephony systems. The flexibility and performance have been critical to delivering reliable, low-latency voice experiences. Thanks to the LiveKit team for building an infrastructure layer we can trust.

used LiveKit to build Beyond Presence: Video Agent Platform

•3 reviews

We use LiveKit for managed video streaming infrastructure and also use LiveKit agents as basis for our conversational agents. WebRTC streaming is really hard and LiveKit provides a great developer-friendly managed solution for that.

Livekit has an amazing developer experience with pre-built React components and incredibly easy to implement real-time state management. Support through their slack has been very helpful.

LiveKit is the invisible backbone for our real-time calls. Their infra just works: low-latency, rock-solid, and developer-friendly. Instead of reinventing media servers, we get to focus on building great products.

Love that it’s open source and modular enough to plug into anything. I'm curious, how are teams typically handling edge cases like poor network conditions or audio sync issues with LiveKit out of the box?

Here’s what made it stand out: Built for real-time AI (not just calls) – LiveKit handles audio, video, and data streams together, making it ideal for multimodal AI agents Low latency, high performance – powered by WebRTC + SFU architecture for smooth, scalable real-time communication Open-source & flexible – we can customize, self-host, and deeply integrate into our stack instead of being locked into rigid workflows Developer-first architecture – clean SDKs across platforms and faster iteration for complex use cases Handles infra complexity – abstracts the hardest parts of WebRTC while still giving us control
