The Problem

Build an AI agent for a web application (e.g., a virtual sales assistant) that requires near-instantaneous, browser-based voice interaction.

Expected Outcome

Sub-200ms round-trip latency for seamless, natural conversational AI on the web.

Tool Chain

Implementation Steps

  1. 1

    WebRTC Connection via SDK

    The user's browser connects to the backend via LiveKit for low-latency audio transport.

  2. 2

    Real-Time ASR Stream

    The audio stream is piped directly to Deepgram's real-time API for low-latency transcription.

  3. 3

    Agent Logic Processing (LLM)

    The transcript is used by the LLM to generate a textual response.

  4. 4

    Streaming TTS Response

    The response is sent to ElevenLabs' streaming TTS endpoint and immediately streamed back to the user via LiveKit.
