Gateway

One base URL and one key in front of every provider, speaking the API your framework already calls.

Run and observe your voice workers

Speko speaks the OpenAI API, so the frameworks you already use need a hostname and a model string.

import { defineAgent, voice } from '@livekit/agents';
import * as openai from '@livekit/agents-plugin-openai';

const key = process.env.SPEKO_API_KEY!;
const baseURL = 'https://api.speko.ai/v1';

export default defineAgent({
  entry: async (ctx) => {
    const session = new voice.AgentSession({
      stt: new openai.STT({ apiKey: key, baseURL, model: 'auto' }),
      llm: new openai.LLM({ apiKey: key, baseURL, model: 'auto' }),
      tts: new openai.TTS({ apiKey: key, baseURL, model: 'auto' }),
    });
    await session.start({ agent: new voice.Agent({ ... }) });
  },
});

Point your agent at Speko
