Maintenance
Builds voice and chat AI agents with LiveKit Agents and LiveKit Cloud. Use when the user asks to "build a voice agent", "create a LiveKit agent", "add voice AI to my app", "implement handoffs", "structure an agent workflow", "my agent is slow / too chatty", "it says it booked but nothing was saved", "make it confirm before committing", "it keeps re-asking things the caller already said", or is writing code against the LiveKit Agents SDK. Covers architecture: designing for latency, keeping context small, splitting a monolithic agent into handoffs and tasks, and designing for voice. Also covers keeping the model in charge of meaning while code owns state, approvals, and effects. For API specifics use reading-livekit-docs. To check behavior use debugging-livekit-agents and testing-livekit-agents.
