Meet SpookyKit, five haunted voices for your voice agent 🎃 Voices from LiveKit coworkers (guess who?), via @FishAudio as a custom voice: 🕯️ the hollow whisperer (v_rcMdmMksGhqr) 📞 the grave caller (v_ou7cbav4LMuq) 🌊 the thing below (v_U9DZ7HDMqqtM) Voices summoned from the shadows by our spooky friends at @GradiumAI 🧡 💀 the bone barker (hwchrc8s07s20000) 📻 the dead air host (hwchrc8s07s00000) paste a voice ID into LiveKit Inference or Agent Builder and go give someone a fright 👻 Try them now > cloud.livekit.io

Voice agents get built three ways: cascaded (STT, LLM, TTS), turn-based speech-to-speech, and full-duplex, where the model listens and talks at the same time. All three now run on LiveKit Inference: GPT-Live and GPT Realtime from @OpenAI, @grok Voice Think Fast from @xai, and Gemini Live from @GoogleDeepMind. One LiveKit Cloud key, one bill.

😁
