React-Native Voice Assistant

This is a starter template for LiveKit Agents that provides a simple voice interface using the LiveKit React-Native SDK and Expo Plugin.

This template is free for you to use or modify as you see fit.

Getting started

The easiest way to get this app running is with a token server and the LiveKit CLI.

First, enable the token server from your project's Options on the Settings page in LiveKit Cloud and copy the sandboxID.

Then, run the following command to automatically clone this template and connect it to LiveKit Cloud:

lk app create --template agent-starter-react-native --sandbox <token_server_sandbox_id>

Afterwards, move to the newly created folder and run the following commands:

npm install

# Android
npx expo run:android

# iOS
npx expo run:ios

You'll also need an agent to speak with. Try our starter agent for Python, Node.js, or create your own from scratch.

Note

To setup without the LiveKit CLI, clone the repository and edit the hooks/useConnectionDetails.ts file to add either a sandboxID (from your project's Options on the Settings page), or a manually generated URL and token.

Token generation

In a production environment, you will be responsible for developing a solution to generate tokens for your users which is integrated with your authentication solution. You should disable the token server and modify hooks/useConnectionDetails.ts to use your own token server.
