+ or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
85
+ or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
86
+ granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
87
+ as of the date such litigation is filed.
88
+
89
+ 4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the

+ that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
102
+ attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
103
+ excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
104
+ the Derivative Works; and
105
+
106
+ (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its

+ within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
110
+ pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
111
+ of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
112
+ as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
113
+ documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
114
+ within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
115
+ wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
116
+ of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
117
+ do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
118
+ notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
119
+ or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided

+ as modifying the License.
122
+
123
+ You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
124
+ may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
125
+ for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or

+ reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
128
+ the conditions stated in this License.
129
+
130
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
131
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
132
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
133
+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
134
+ Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
135
+ the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
136
+ with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
137
+
138
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
139
+ names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
140
+ except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
141
+ origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
142
+
143
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
144
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
145
+ Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
146
+ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
147
+ implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
148
+ of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
149
+ PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
150
+ appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
151
+ risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
152
+
153
+ 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
154
+ whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
155
+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
156
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
157
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
158
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
159
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
160
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
161
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
162
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
163
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
164
+
165
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
166
+ the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
167
+ and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
168
+ or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
169
+ License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
170
+ on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
171
+ of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
172
+ defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
173
+ incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
174
+ of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

3
+ > Build voice AI agents that run real business processes — in one file.
4
+
5
+ ```bash
6
+ # The SDK is lean. Providers (STT / TTS / LLM / VAD / turn detection) install
7
+ # separately, so you only pull in the vendors you actually use. These four are
8
+ # the default pipeline:
9
+ pnpm add @voicelayer/sdk \
10
+ @voicelayer/agents-plugin-deepgram \
11
+ @voicelayer/agents-plugin-openai \
12
+ @voicelayer/agents-plugin-silero \
13
+ @voicelayer/agents-plugin-livekit
14
+ ```
15
+
16
+ See [Providers](#providers) for the full list. Use a provider you haven't
17
+ installed and the SDK throws a single, actionable error telling you what to add.
18
+
19
+ ## Hello, voice agent (30 seconds)
20
+
21
+ ```ts
22
+ // agent.ts
23
+ import { defineAgent } from '@voicelayer/sdk';
24
+
25
+ export default await defineAgent({
26
+ name: 'hello',
27
+ prompt: 'You are a friendly receptionist. Ask the caller how you can help.',
28
+ }).start(import.meta.url);
29
+ ```
30
+
31
+ ```bash
32
+ node --import tsx agent.ts dev
33
+ ```
34
+
35
+ Call your LiveKit number. The agent answers. That's it. STT, LLM, TTS, VAD, turn detection — defaults are picked for you. Swap them later with one config line.
36
+
37
+ ---
38
+
39
+ ## A real agent (FNOL in 100 lines)
40
+
41
+ The voice plumbing isn't the hard part. The hard part is running a **business process** to completion: collecting required fields, validating them, escalating on legal threats, persisting memory across calls, handing off to a human, and writing the result back to your CRM.
42
+
43
+ That's what this SDK does. One declaration:
44
+
45
+ ```ts
46
+ import { defineAgent, defineProcess } from '@voicelayer/sdk';
47
+ import { salesforce } from '@voicelayer/connector-salesforce';
48
+
49
+ export default await defineAgent({
50
+ name: 'fnol',
51
+ prompt: 'You are a calm First Notice of Loss intake agent.',
52
+
53
+ // 1. The business process. Declarative — the SDK extracts fields from
54
+ // each utterance, validates them, and decides when the call can end.
55
+ process: defineProcess({
56
+ collect: {
57
+ incidentDate: { type: 'datetime', required: true },
58
+ vehiclesInvolved: { type: 'string[]', required: true, min: 1 },
59
+ injuries: { type: 'boolean', required: true },
60
+ policeReport: { type: 'boolean' },
61
+ claimNumber: { type: 'string', required: true, pattern: /^[A-Z]{2}-\d{8}$/ },
62
+ },
63
+ completeWhen: 'all-required-captured',
64
+ onComplete: async (data, ctx) => {
65
+ const claim = await ctx.connectors.salesforce.createClaim(data);
66
+ await ctx.say(`Your claim number is ${claim.id}. You will receive a text shortly.`);
67
+ },
68
+ }),
69
+
70
+ // 2. Triggers — fire deterministically before the LLM sees the turn.
71
+ triggers: {
72
+ legalThreat: { on: /\b(attorney|lawyer|sue|lawsuit)\b/i, then: 'handoff' },
73
+ severeInjury: { on: 'signal:medical_emergency', then: 'handoff' },
74
+ },
75
+
76
+ // 3. Handoff — real SIP transfer, with state briefing for the human agent.
77
+ handoff: {
78
+ fallback: '+15555550100',
79
+ briefing: ({ data, transcript }) =>
80
+ `Caller reported FNOL. Captured: ${JSON.stringify(data)}. Last 3 turns: ${transcript.tail(3)}`,
81
+ },
82
+
83
+ // 4. Memory — persisted across calls, scoped to the caller. PII auto-redacted.
84
+ memory: {
85
+ scope: 'caller',
86
+ retentionDays: 90,
87
+ piiFields: ['ssn', 'dob'],
88
+ },
89
+
90
+ // 5. Connectors — auto-wired tools, available to the LLM and in ctx.
91
+ connectors: {
92
+ salesforce: salesforce({ objects: ['Claim', 'Account'] }),
93
+ },
94
+
95
+ // 6. Compliance — opt-in posture, defaults are safe.
96
+ compliance: ['tcpa'],
97
+ }).start(import.meta.url);
98
+ ```
99
+
100
+ **That's a complete production FNOL agent.** 60 lines of config, no boilerplate. Same file runs in dev and prod. Same file is what LiveKit forks for each call.
101
+
102
+ ---
103
+
104
+ ## Mental model
105
+
106
+ You declare **one Agent**. The Agent has six knobs:
107
+
108
+ | Knob | What it does |
109
+ |---------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
110
+ | `prompt` | What the LLM says when nothing else fires. |
111
+ | `process` | The structured outcome the call exists to produce. |
112
+ | `triggers` | Deterministic routes that run *before* the LLM (regex, signals). |
113
+ | `handoff` | How to transfer to a human, with what context. |
114
+ | `memory` | What persists across calls, scoped, with PII rules. |
115
+ | `connectors` | Typed external systems the agent can read/write. |
116
+
117
+ Everything else (STT, TTS, LLM, VAD, turn detection, transcript persistence, security guards, telemetry) is **on by default** with sane choices, and swappable in one line when you need to.
118
+
119
+ ---
120
+
121
+ ## Three tiers of customization
122
+
123
+ **Tier 1 — Config only.** Covers ~80% of voice agents. The example above is Tier 1.
124
+
125
+ **Tier 2 — Hooks.** When config isn't enough, drop into hooks. Same agent, same file:
126
+
127
+ ```ts
128
+ defineAgent({
129
+ // ...
130
+ async onUtterance(text, ctx) {
131
+ if (text.includes('refund')) ctx.metadata.flagged = true;
132
+ },
133
+ async onFieldCaptured(field, value, ctx) {
134
+ if (field === 'claimNumber') await ctx.connectors.salesforce.lookup(value);
135
+ },
136
+ async onCallEnd(outcome, ctx) {
137
+ await ctx.connectors.slack.send(`#claims`, `Call ${ctx.call.id} ended: ${outcome.reason}`);
138
+ },
139
+ });
140
+ ```
141
+
142
+ **Tier 3 — Full control.** When hooks aren't enough, take the wheel:
143
+
144
+ ```ts
145
+ defineAgent({
146
+ // ...
147
+ async onCall(ctx) {
148
+ // You own the entire conversation loop.
149
+ await ctx.say('Hi! What is your policy number?');
150
+ const policy = await ctx.ask();
151
+ const account = await ctx.connectors.salesforce.lookupPolicy(policy);
152
+ // ... do whatever ...
153
+ },
154
+ });
155
+ ```
156
+
157
+ You never have to leave the SDK. You never import a `primitive`.
158
+
159
+ ---
160
+
161
+ ## Swapping models
162
+
163
+ Each provider is a small factory you import from the SDK. Pick the pieces you
164
+ want; the SDK wires them into the pipeline:
165
+
166
+ ```ts
167
+ import { defineAgent, deepgram, openai, cartesia } from '@voicelayer/sdk';
168
+
169
+ defineAgent({
170
+ // ...
171
+ models: {
172
+ stt: deepgram.stt({ model: 'nova-3' }),
173
+ llm: openai.llm({ model: 'gpt-4o' }),
174
+ tts: cartesia.tts({ voice: 'sonic-english' }), // pnpm add @voicelayer/agents-plugin-cartesia
175
+ },
176
+ });
177
+ ```
178
+
179
+ Provider plugins load lazily — the vendor SDK (and its native binaries) only
180
+ loads on first use, never at import time.
181
+
182
+ ## Providers
183
+
184
+ Install only what you use:
185
+
186
+ | Provider | Package | Factory |
187
+ |----------|---------|---------|
188
+ | Deepgram (STT, TTS) | `@voicelayer/agents-plugin-deepgram` | `deepgram.stt()`, `deepgram.tts()` |
189
+ | OpenAI (LLM, TTS, Realtime) | `@voicelayer/agents-plugin-openai` | `openai.llm()`, `openai.tts()`, `openai.realtime()` |
190
+ | Cartesia (TTS, STT) | `@voicelayer/agents-plugin-cartesia` | `cartesia.tts()`, `cartesia.stt()` |
191
+ | ElevenLabs (TTS) | `@voicelayer/agents-plugin-elevenlabs` | `elevenlabs.tts()` |
192
+ | AssemblyAI (STT) | `@voicelayer/agents-plugin-assemblyai` | `assemblyai.stt()` |
193
+ | Google Gemini (LLM, Realtime) | `@voicelayer/agents-plugin-google` | `google.llm()`, `google.realtime()` |
194
+ | Silero (VAD) | `@voicelayer/agents-plugin-silero` | `silero.vad()` |
195
+ | LiveKit (turn detection) | `@voicelayer/agents-plugin-livekit` | `livekitTurn.english()`, `livekitTurn.multilingual()` |
196
+
197
+ Each is a thin, versioned wrapper over the matching `@livekit/agents-plugin-*`
198
+ package. Need a provider that isn't listed? Wrap any LiveKit plugin instance
199
+ with `wrap(...)`, or implement the `STTProvider` / `LLMProvider` / `TTSProvider`
200
+ interfaces directly.
201
+
202
+ ---
203
+
204
+ ## Connectors
205
+
206
+ Connectors are **typed integrations** with external systems. They show up on `ctx.connectors` and (optionally) as LLM tools.
207
+
208
+ ```ts
209
+ import { salesforce, twilio, slack, zendesk, webhook } from '@voicelayer/connectors';
210
+
211
+ defineAgent({
212
+ // ...
213
+ connectors: {
214
+ crm: salesforce({ objects: ['Claim'] }),
215
+ sms: twilio(),
216
+ alerts: slack({ channel: '#claims' }),
217
+ custom: webhook({ url: 'https://your-api.example.com/voicelayer' }),
218
+ },
219
+ });
220
+ ```
221
+
222
+ Available connectors: `salesforce`, `twilio`, `slack`, `zendesk`, `webhook`, `epic` (HIPAA-scoped), `servicenow`. More on the roadmap.
223
+
224
+ ---
225
+
226
+ ## Testing locally
227
+
228
+ ```ts
229
+ import { testAgent } from '@voicelayer/sdk/testing';
230
+ import agent from './agent.js';
231
+
232
+ test('captures all required fields', async () => {
233
+ const result = await testAgent(agent)
234
+ .say('I was in a wreck yesterday with my Honda Civic, no injuries.')
235
+ .say('Claim number is AB-12345678.')
236
+ .end();
237
+
238
+ expect(result.process.complete).toBe(true);
239
+ expect(result.process.data.vehiclesInvolved).toEqual(['Honda Civic']);
240
+ });
241
+ ```
242
+
243
+ No LiveKit, no audio, no API keys. Pure unit-test speed.
244
+
245
+ ---
246
+
247
+ ## Production
248
+
249
+ `await start(import.meta.url)` boots a LiveKit worker in the parent process and exports the resolved LiveKit agent definition for the child job runner that re-imports the same file. The same file. No deploy pipeline differences between local and prod beyond environment variables.
250
+
251
+ ```bash
252

+ ## What's *not* in this SDK
266
+
267
+ - No "primitive" packages to import. The internal modularity is the platform team's problem, not yours.
268
+ - No multi-file boilerplate. One file per agent.
269
+ - No state-machine framework you have to learn. `process` is a field bag with validation; `triggers` are if/then rules. If you need branching flows, you use `onUtterance` or `onCall`.
270
+ - No "agent vs module" distinction. One declaration, one mental model.

274
+ ## Stability
275
+
276
+ The SDK is currently **`0.x`**. APIs may change between minor versions while we find product-market fit. We will document every breaking change in the changelog.
277
+
278
+ At `1.0` we'll commit to semver and a stable public surface. Until then, expect movement.
