About LiveKit Agents
LiveKit Agents added Answering Machine Detection — voice agents are becoming a serious telephony runtime.
LiveKit Agents is releasing roughly twice a week along the 1.5.x line, accumulating telephony-grade primitives around its voice loop. The headline is Answering Machine Detection in 1.5.9 — an LLM-classified detector for what kind of endpoint an outbound call hit. Surrounding work is split between reliability (barge-in cooldown, interruption guards, preemptive-generation tuning, observability retries) and provider breadth (Perplexity Responses, Soniox, Speechmatics, Cerebras, xAI, Rime WebSocket TTS). The mcp_servers parameter was also deprecated on Agent and AgentSession.
