Live Conversations with AI using ChatGPT and WebRTC

What's this blog post about?

KITT is an AI developed by the LiveKit team that can engage in live conversations with users. It has various capabilities such as answering questions, taking notes during meetings, and translating multiple languages. The technology behind KITT involves using LiveKit's Go SDK to join sessions from the backend and streaming audio for speech-to-text conversion. Google Cloud's STT service was chosen due to its speed, accuracy, and support for streaming recognition. GPT-3.5 is used for text responses, with modifications made to optimize for latency. The client interface uses LiveKit Meet, a Zoom-inspired sample application that allows KITT to join meetings automatically. Potential improvements include exploring different STT and TTS models, using more powerful AI models like GPT-4, enhancing prompting techniques, incorporating avatars for visual representation, processing video streams, enabling screen sharing, and adding features such as sentiment analysis or scene understanding.
