Agent Framework plugin for AssemblyAI
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are building voice agents with LiveKit and prefer AssemblyAI as your speech-to-text provider. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and integrates cleanly into the LiveKit Agents ecosystem. Install it as part of your agent dependencies when you want AssemblyAI STT rather than another provider.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- AssemblyAI API credentials must be configured (typically via environment variables).
- Low friction installation as a pure Python wheel.

What it is and what it does
This package is a plugin that connects AssemblyAI's speech-to-text service to the LiveKit Agents framework. It allows you to build real-time voice agents that can listen to and understand spoken input from users in WebRTC sessions. The plugin handles the integration between LiveKit's agent runtime and AssemblyAI's STT API, so you can focus on building the agent logic rather than managing the speech recognition plumbing.
The plugin is designed to work alongside other LiveKit Agents components—LLMs, TTS providers, and VAD (voice activity detection)—as part of a complete conversational agent pipeline. It requires only livekit-agents as a runtime dependency and integrates into the standard AgentSession workflow, making it straightforward to swap in or out depending on your STT provider preference.
Use it for
- Building a customer service voice agent that understands caller speech in real time
- Creating a multi-turn conversational AI that listens and responds without manual transcription setup
- Integrating AssemblyAI's STT into an existing LiveKit WebRTC application for voice input
- Testing and prototyping voice agent behavior with AssemblyAI as the speech recognition backbone
