Use this SDK to add realtime video, audio and data features to your Node app. By connecting to <a href="https://livekit.io/">LiveKit</a> Cloud or a self-hosted server, you can quickly build applications such as multi-modal AI, live streaming, or video calls with just a few lines of code.

<!--BEGIN_AGENTS_INFO-->
> [!IMPORTANT]
> If you're building Voice AI, [LiveKit Agents](https://github.com/livekit/agents) is the SDK for code-first realtime voice agents. STT, LLM, TTS, turn detection, [expressive speech](https://docs.livekit.io/agents/models/tts/expressive/), [keyterm accuracy](https://docs.livekit.io/agents/models/stt/keyterms/), tool usage, and telephony all come bundled in the framework. It's available in both [Python](https://github.com/livekit/agents) and [Node.js](https://github.com/livekit/agents-js).

> ```python
> # agent.py
> from livekit import agents
> from livekit.agents import Agent, AgentServer, AgentSession, STTContextOptions, TurnHandlingOptions, inference
>
> server = AgentServer()

> @server.rtc_session(agent_name="my-agent")

> session = AgentSession(
> stt=inference.STT(model="deepgram/nova-3", language="multi"),
> llm=inference.LLM(model="google/gemma-4-31b-it"),
> tts=inference.TTS(model="inworld/inworld-tts-2", voice="Ashley"),
> turn_handling=TurnHandlingOptions(turn_detection=inference.TurnDetector()),

> Models come from [LiveKit Inference](https://docs.livekit.io/agents/models/) with no per-provider API keys, and LiveKit Cloud handles [deployment](https://docs.livekit.io/deploy/agents/) and [observability](https://docs.livekit.io/deploy/observability/). Visit the docs for more info at [docs.livekit.io/agents](https://docs.livekit.io/agents/).
