LiveKit Agents Plugin for services from AWS
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained (released 1 day ago), has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and Apache-2.0 licensing. Install it if you are building LiveKit voice agents and need AWS AI services (Bedrock, Transcribe, Polly, Nova). Ensure you have AWS credentials with Bedrock access and Python >=3.10.0 before proceeding.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install

What it is and what it does
This package bridges Amazon's AI services into LiveKit Agents, a framework for building voice-based AI applications. It provides four main components: a RealtimeModel for bidirectional speech-to-speech using Amazon Nova (with Nova 2 Sonic as the default), an LLM interface powered by Bedrock (defaulting to Nova 2 Lite), speech-to-text via Transcribe, and text-to-speech via Polly. The plugin handles the integration plumbing so you can compose these services into conversational agents.
The package is designed for developers building real-time voice agents that need AWS's AI capabilities. It supports multilingual conversations, automatic language detection and response mirroring, 18 expressive voices across multiple languages, and function calling for tool use. A recent breaking change switched the default realtime model from Nova Sonic 1.0 to Nova 2 Sonic, which adds text input support and mixed audio/text modalities; you can revert to the older model explicitly if needed.
Use it for
- Build multilingual voice assistants that automatically detect and respond in the user's spoken language using Nova 2 Sonic.
- Create real-time speech-to-speech conversational agents with low-latency bidirectional streaming and interruption handling.
- Combine Transcribe + Nova LLM + Polly in a pipeline for speech-to-text, reasoning, and text-to-speech workflows.
- Add function calling and tool use to voice agents for weather lookups, web searches, or custom business logic.
- Deploy voice agents with multiple expressive voices and polyglot support across English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Hindi.
