Build a voice agent with Gemini 3 Flash Live and LiveKit.
Jesse Hall from LiveKit walks through everything you need to get a working voice agent running locally, then take it to production. Speech-to-speech audio, no text in the middle, with better instruction following, smarter tool calling, and reduced speaker drift across long sessions.
What's covered: Project setup with LiveKit Agents and the Google plugin, system prompt best practices for voice, native audio capabilities, server-side and client-side tool calling, Google Search integration, and live testing with multilingual switching and function chaining.
