Pipecat is awesome! is it similar to what livekit provides?
I think Realtime API adoption would be higher if it is offered on Arduino rather than ESP-IDF as the latter is not very beginner friendly. That was one of the main reasons I built this repo using edge functions instead of a direct WebRTC connection.
The design of OpenAI + WebRTC was to lean on WebRTC as much as possible to make it easier for users.
