> LiveKit is a platform for building voice and realtime AI applications. LiveKit Cloud is the hosted commercial offering based on the open-source LiveKit project.
## Overview
LiveKit is an open-source framework and cloud platform for building voice, video, and physical AI agents. It consists of these primary components:
- **LiveKit server**: An open-source WebRTC Selective Forwarding Unit (SFU) that orchestrates realtime communication. Use [LiveKit Cloud](https://cloud.livekit.io) or self-host on your own infrastructure.
- **LiveKit Agents framework**: High-level tools for building AI agents in [Python](https://github.com/livekit/agents) or [Node.js](https://github.com/livekit/agents-js), including a [deployment environment](https://docs.livekit.io/agents/ops/deployment.md) for running agents on LiveKit Cloud, a hosted voice AI [inference service](https://docs.livekit.io/agents/models.md#inference), and an extensive [plugin system](https://docs.livekit.io/agents/models.md#plugins) for connecting to a wide range of AI providers.
