# OpenRTC

> Run multiple LiveKit voice agents in a single shared worker process.

Register multiple LiveKit agents in one process, route by metadata, and prewarm models once.

## Why OpenRTC?

| Problem                                   | OpenRTC                                                   |
| ----------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| One worker process per agent class        | One worker hosts all your agents                          |
| VAD and turn detector load per subprocess | Loaded once, shared across every session                  |
| Hard-coded single-agent entrypoints       | Route by room metadata, job metadata, or room-name prefix |
| 3 GB per idle worker                      | 50+ concurrent sessions in a single process               |

## Features

**Coroutine-mode worker (v0.1):** Host 50+ concurrent sessions per process as
`asyncio` tasks instead of paying one subprocess per session. Cooperative
backpressure is routed back to LiveKit dispatch via `current_load`.

**Multi-agent routing:** Dispatch the right `Agent` implementation from a single
worker using room or job metadata. Priority order:

1. `ctx.job.metadata["agent"]`
2. `ctx.job.metadata["demo"]`
3. `ctx.job.room.metadata["agent"]` / `["demo"]`
4. Room name prefix (`support-call-123` routes to the `support` agent)
5. First registered agent (fallback)

**Shared prewarm:** Load VAD, turn detection, and other heavy dependencies once
for every session in the pool.

**LiveKit-native:** Built on `livekit-agents` with the same `dev`, `start`,
`console`, and `connect` workflows. Drop into `isolation="process"` for
per-subprocess isolation when you need it.
