🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

  1. Get your API key from https://your-platform.com/api-keys (placeholder)
  2. Set environment variable:
    export SUPERBRYN_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
    

Installation

pip install livekit-evals

Integration (3 Lines)

Add these lines to your LiveKit agent:

from livekit_evals import create_webhook_handler

async def entrypoint(ctx: JobContext):
    # ... your existing setup code ...
    
    # 1. Create webhook handler
    webhook_handler = create_webhook_handler(
        room=ctx.room,
        is_deployed_on_lk_cloud=True  # Set to False if self-hosting
    )
    
    # ... create your session ...
    session = AgentSession(
        llm=openai.LLM(model="gpt-4o-mini"),
        stt=deepgram.STT(model="nova-3"),
        tts=cartesia.TTS(voice="..."),
    )
    
    # ... your session setup ...
    await session.start(agent=YourAgent(), room=ctx.room)
    
    # 2. Attach to session (MUST be after session.start, before ctx.connect)
    if webhook_handler:
        webhook_handler.attach_to_session(session)
        # 3. Send webhook on shutdown
        ctx.add_shutdown_callback(webhook_handler.send_webhook)
    
    await ctx.connect()

That's it! 🎉 Your agent will now automatically track all session data and send it to your webhook endpoint.

📖 Full Example

Here's a complete working example:

import logging
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from livekit.agents import (
    Agent,
    AgentSession,
    JobContext,
    WorkerOptions,
    cli,
)
from livekit.plugins import cartesia, deepgram, openai, silero

# Import livekit-evals
from livekit_evals import create_webhook_handler

logger = logging.getLogger("agent")
load_dotenv()


class Assistant(Agent):
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        super().__init__(
            instructions="""You are a helpful voice AI assistant.
            You eagerly assist users with their questions.""",
        )


async def entrypoint(ctx: JobContext):
    # Logging setup
    ctx.log_context_fields = {"room": ctx.room.name}

    # Initialize webhook handler (auto-detects all metadata)
    webhook_handler = create_webhook_handler(
        room=ctx.room,
        is_deployed_on_lk_cloud=True  # Set to False if self-hosting
    )

    # Set up voice AI pipeline
    session = AgentSession(
        llm=openai.LLM(model="gpt-4o-mini"),
        stt=deepgram.STT(model="nova-3", language="en"),
        tts=cartesia.TTS(voice="your-voice-id"),
        vad=silero.VAD.load(),
    )

    # Start the session
    await session.start(agent=Assistant(), room=ctx.room)

    # Attach webhook handler to capture events
    # IMPORTANT: Must be after session.start() and before ctx.connect()
    if webhook_handler:
        webhook_handler.attach_to_session(session)
        ctx.add_shutdown_callback(webhook_handler.send_webhook)

    # Connect to room
    await ctx.connect()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    cli.run_app(WorkerOptions(entrypoint_fnc=entrypoint))

📊 What Gets Tracked

Transcript Data

  • Precise timing using VAD state change events
  • Speaker turns (user/assistant)
  • Start/end timestamps (ISO 8601)
  • Start/end times in milliseconds (relative to call start)
  • Response delays between turns
  • Interruption detection
  • Confidence scores (when available)
  • Language detection
  • Speaker IDs

Usage Metrics

  • LLM: Input tokens, output tokens, total tokens, model, provider
  • STT: Audio duration, model, provider
  • TTS: Character count, audio duration, model, provider, voice ID

Latency Metrics

  • LLM: Time to first token (TTFT), total duration
  • STT: Processing duration
  • TTS: Time to first byte (TTFB), total duration
  • Aggregated: Average latencies per component

Session Metadata

  • Agent ID and version
  • LiveKit project ID
  • System prompt
  • Call duration
  • Phone number (if SIP call)
  • SIP trunking detection
  • Egress recording URLs
  • LiveKit Cloud deployment status

🔍 How It Works

  1. Event Listening: Attaches to LiveKit session events (user_state_changed, agent_state_changed, metrics_collected, conversation_item_added)
  2. Data Aggregation: Collects and processes events during the session
  3. Auto-Detection: Extracts configuration from session objects and job metadata
  4. Webhook Delivery: Sends comprehensive payload to webhook endpoint when session ends

🛠️ Advanced Usage

Custom API Key

Pass API key directly instead of using environment variable:

webhook_handler = create_webhook_handler(
    room=ctx.room,
    is_deployed_on_lk_cloud=True,
    api_key="your_api_key_here"
)

Custom LiveKit Project ID

webhook_handler = create_webhook_handler(
    room=ctx.room,
    is_deployed_on_lk_cloud=True,
    livekit_project_id="my-custom-project-id"
)

Self-Hosted Agents

If you're self-hosting your LiveKit agents (not using LiveKit Cloud):

webhook_handler = create_webhook_handler(
    room=ctx.room,
    is_deployed_on_lk_cloud=False  # Important for cost calculation
)

Custom Telephony Rates

If you're using custom telephony providers (Twilio, Vonage, etc.) with specific per-minute rates:

webhook_handler = create_webhook_handler(
    room=ctx.room,
    is_deployed_on_lk_cloud=True,
    call_rate_usd=0.015  # Your custom rate per minute ($/min)
)

This overrides default provider costs and ensures accurate cost tracking for your telephony usage.

Passing Metadata via Job Context

You can pass custom metadata when creating LiveKit jobs:

# When creating a job
job_metadata = {
    "agent_id": "customer-support-bot",
    "version_id": "v2.1.0",
    "phone_number": "+1234567890"
}

The webhook handler will automatically extract these values.

🐛 Troubleshooting

Webhook Not Sending

Check API Key:

echo $SUPERBRYN_API_KEY

Enable Debug Logging:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

Look for these log messages:

  • SUPERBRYN_WEBHOOK_HANDLER_CREATED - Handler initialized
  • SUPERBRYN_WEBHOOK_SENT - Webhook delivered successfully
  • SUPERBRYN_WEBHOOK_UNAUTHORIZED - Invalid API key
  • SUPERBRYN_WEBHOOK_FAILED - Delivery failed
  • SUPERBRYN_WEBHOOK_ERROR - Exception occurred

Common Errors

Error Cause Solution
SUPERBRYN_API_KEY not configured Missing API key Set SUPERBRYN_API_KEY environment variable
SUPERBRYN_WEBHOOK_UNAUTHORIZED Invalid API key Verify your API key is correct
SUPERBRYN_WEBHOOK_FORBIDDEN Expired/disabled key Generate a new API key
No empty turn found to fill State change timing issue Usually harmless, check logs for patterns

Missing Transcript Data

Ensure webhook_handler.attach_to_session(session) is called:

  • After await session.start()
  • Before await ctx.connect()
  • ✅ At the end of your entrypoint (no early returns)

Provider Detection Issues

The package auto-detects providers from model names. Supported providers (25+):

LLM Providers:

  • OpenAI (gpt, whisper, tts-1, o1, o3)
  • Anthropic (claude)
  • Google (gemini, palm, bard, gemma)
  • Meta (llama, meta-llama)
  • Mistral (mistral, mixtral)
  • Cohere (cohere, command)
  • Perplexity (perplexity, pplx)
  • Groq
  • Together AI (together, togethercomputer)
  • Replicate
  • Hugging Face (huggingface, hf-)

TTS Providers:

  • ElevenLabs (eleven, elevenlabs)
  • Cartesia (cartesia, sonic)
  • PlayHT (playht, play.ht)
  • Resemble AI (resemble, resembleai)
  • Murf (murf, murf.ai)
  • WellSaid Labs (wellsaid, wellsaidlabs)
  • Speechify
  • Sarvam (saarika, sarvam, bulbul)
  • Azure/Microsoft (azure, microsoft)
  • AWS Polly (aws, polly, amazon)
  • Google Cloud (gcloud, google-cloud)

STT Providers:

  • Deepgram (deepgram, nova, aura)
  • AssemblyAI (assemblyai, assembly)
  • Rev.ai (rev.ai, revai)
  • Speechmatics
  • Gladia

Realtime/Multi-modal:

  • LiveKit
  • Twilio
  • Vonage

If your provider isn't detected, it will show as "unknown" but won't affect functionality.

📝 Migration Guide

If you're currently using the standalone webhook_handler.py:

Before:

from webhook_handler import create_webhook_handler

After:

from livekit_evals import create_webhook_handler

Everything else stays the same! The API is identical.
