Low-Latency WebRTC Voice Agent
Sub-200ms round-trip latency for seamless, natural conversational AI on the web.
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
WebRTC Connection via SDK
The user's browser connects to the backend via LiveKit for low-latency audio transport.
LiveKit - 2
Real-Time ASR Stream
The audio stream is piped directly to Deepgram's real-time API for low-latency transcription.
Deepgram - 3
Agent Logic Processing (LLM)
The transcript is used by the LLM to generate a textual response.
- 4
Streaming TTS Response
The response is sent to ElevenLabs' streaming TTS endpoint and immediately streamed back to the user via LiveKit.
ElevenLabs
Alternatives
Very fast, competitive latency with Deepgram.
Cost Impact: -10%
Reliable streaming TTS, slightly less emotional range.
Cost Impact: N/A
Export Workflow
Coming SoonSoon you’ll export this stack to Zapier, n8n, or a starter repo with presets (env vars, webhooks, rate limits).
