We learn to speak before we learn to read. Voice is the most natural interface we have. We just raised a $100M to make building voice AI as easy as a web app.

Latency. Interruptions. Turn-taking. The hard parts of voice AI, discussed by the people actually solving them. w/ @aquavoice + @speechmatics, #SFTechWeek Wed Oct 7 · 5:30-8:30pm · SF partiful.com/e/Qfb44oJOo4cYv…

Some of the best conversations at Tech Week happen away from the stage, over a drink, no deck required. AI Agents Speakeasy w/ @modal, #LATechWeek Wed Oct 14 · 6-9pm · LA RSVP → partiful.com/e/4K1RcwGixzueN…

> Direct a voice line by line, then hear it hold up through a real conversation. That’s what stood out when we tested Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite TTS inside a LiveKit agent. Expressive speech, custom voices, and a production-ready voice library. Let us know what you think: bit.ly/3TgsdY9

LiveKit has acquired @LoopholeLabs, an infrastructure company whose technology will enhance our platform for building voice, video, and physical AI agents. With their team, we move closer to offering customers essentially unlimited concurrent agents. Welcome to LiveKit! fortune.com/press-releases/l…

Come hear about the latest developments in Robotics and Physical AI from fellow developers, researchers, & hobbyists. LiveKit x @dimensionalos Robotics Happy Hour, #SFTechWeek Tue Oct 6 · 5:30pm · SF RSVP : partiful.com/e/u610QKw40q4lh…

Enterprise agents need secure access to internal systems. Private links on LiveKit Cloud open a fully-manage, encrypted tunnel straight into your VPC without needing public IPs, inbound firewall rules, or VPN. Live today in the US and EU. Learn more > livekit.com/blog/introducing…

1 hour of talks + demos on solving voice as an interface. 2 hours of food, drinks, and meeting the engineers who ship this daily. w/ @aquavoice + @speechmatics, #SFTechWeek Wed Oct 7 · 5:30-8:30pm · SF partiful.com/e/Qfb44oJOo4cYv…

The best ideas still come out of a good conversation over drinks. Join us for the AI Agents Speakeasy w/ @modal, #LATechWeek Wed Oct 14 · 6-9pm · LA RSVP here: partiful.com/e/4K1RcwGixzueN…

Voice is the interface everyone's racing to get right. Come talk to the people actually building it. LiveKit x @aquavoice x @speechmatics, #SFTechWeek Wed Oct 7 · 5:30-8:30pm · SF RSVP: partiful.com/e/Qfb44oJOo4cYv…

Your whole voice stack, free for a year on LiveKit. $10K in Cloud credits + a year of Scale + $7K in partner inference credits ($1K each: @googlegemma, @DeepgramAI, @inworld , @rimelabs , @FishAudio, @AssemblyAI, @GradiumAI.) One workspace. No provider keys. Apply now: livekit.com/startups

Build voice agents that can respond quickly or think longer without changing your stack. Gemini 3.8 Live is available today in LiveKit Agents. Choose gemini-3.8-live for low-latency audio or gemini-3.8-live-extended-thinking for async reasoning. Check the docs for more info: bit.ly/4xWpa6B

Building a voice agent is a loop: write, deploy, listen to calls, fix what broke. The agent is the unit of work, so we rebuilt LiveKit Cloud's around it. Talk to your agent while you're editing it. Click a metric, see the sessions behind it, go back without retracing. Try it now > cloud.livekit.io/

We power real-time infra for robots in warehouses, in the air, in your home. We want to meet the people building them in person! Robotics Happy Hour w/ @dimensionalos, #SFTechWeek Tue Oct 6 · 5:30pm · SF RSVP here→ partiful.com/e/u610QKw40q4lh…

Muse Voice Transcribe from @AIatMeta @MetaforDevs is now live! You can now use Meta's new streaming STT model in LiveKit Agents, with real-time diarization for 20+ speakers. Try Muse in LiveKit Agents: docs.livekit.io/agents/model…

GPT-Live-1 @openaidevs is now supported in LiveKit Agents. It's full-duplex, so it listens and speaks at the same time instead of taking turns, and it hands reasoning and tool calls off to a backend model so a slow lookup doesn't leave your agent sitting in dead air. Same `AgentSession` API. New plugin: `GPTLiveModel`. Get started: docs.livekit.io/agents/model…

Gradium TTS is now available on LiveKit Inference, free until Oct. 9. Gradium TTS is designed for conversational use cases, with voice cloning, low latency (below 250ms TTFA), and robust pronunciation on difficult cases. Select @GradiumAI as your TTS provider in LiveKit Inference, no additional account or API key required: docs.livekit.io/agents/model…

Try @inworld TTS-2 and TTS-2 Flash through LiveKit Inference: docs.livekit.io/agents/model…

Agent deployments are live on LiveKit Cloud. Your voice agent can have a staging deployment running next to production. Same image, same project, same secrets, different name. Test a change on real infrastructure, then promote that exact build. Read more: bit.ly/3V6s89M

LiveKit Connectors are generally available today. They bring calls from @twilio Programmable Voice and @WhatsApp Business Calling into a LiveKit room as a regular participant, so your agent can answer there with no SIP trunk to provision and nothing new to host.
