LiveKit – Open-Source WebRTC Stack & Cloud for Voice, Video & AI Agents | Quasa.io

#Quasa #QUA #LiveKit

LiveKit is the open-source WebRTC stack plus a Cloud for voice, video, and physical AI agents. Tools: Agents framework (Python/Node), inference gateway (LLM/STT/TTS), telephony/SIP, rooms, observability. Official Cloud: Build $0—1,000 agent-session minutes, 5,000 WebRTC minutes, $2.50 inference credits, one US number, community support. Ship $50/month—5,000 agent minutes, team features, email. Scale $500/month—50,000 agent minutes, RBAC, region pinning, HIPAA path. Agent sessions overage $0.01/min. Self-host the Apache-2.0 server with no LiveKit fee. OpenAI built ChatGPT Advanced Voice on LiveKit Cloud. It is not a no-code dialer and not Zoom. Stay on OSS rooms if you only need video. Use Cloud when agents must run on their edge.
