Short answer

How can my AI manage LiveKit rooms and participants?

Your AI uses specific tools to spin up rooms, kick users, or mute audio tracks. You can direct your agent to monitor active sessions or adjust participant settings on the fly. This gives you direct control over the media environment through natural language.
