This was such a blast to work on, made even better by collaborating with the best partners-in-crime @friedtm and @jackndwyer. And shoutout to @codeSTACKr for absolutely slaying the walkthrough video 🔥
We shipped Agent Console, a realtime debugging surface for voice agents. Talk to your agent and see the entire pipeline live, from audio and latency to tool calls, transcripts, and participant state. Available now in the LiveKit Cloud dashboard.

Beyond honoured Artiom reached out—really grateful I could contribute in a small way by sharing some of my thoughts and experiences 🙏 Excited to dig in the book and learn from some seriously awesome folks in the industry!
Today I'm launching my new book 🎉 How do you grow beyond senior as a designer? I've taken over 6 months to answer this question in my new book >>

Small iterations go a long way...

Seeing stuff like this makes me think: 1. To make this happen you literally have to steal. 2. Inevitably this takes jobs, however you slice it. 3. If you ARE the designer and using this as a so-called "tool"... for the love of god WHY? Don't you enjoy creating things?
Replying to @ryanfurrer_
took 2 prompts fed it in these 2 images and it kind of failed, but then prompted it with clearer instructions and it was PERFECT 🤯

On point 2: How will even people start out as designers and creators, if small opportunities like these are being taken away from them? How will the next generation learn practically?

On point 3: Seriously, if you call yourself a designer and previously have made icons, why would you do this to yourself?

I think the crux of people using gen AI vs. people being critical of it: humility. Humility by being fine not able to create “anything that I put my mind into”, “just for the sake of it”. And if one endeavours creating something, having humility to respect the process.

When you look at what people are generating with AI, it's either soulless slop, as it defaults to regurgitation of everything and anything, or, people need to put in artists/studios/art movements/artistic styles in their prompts as a reference...

...in order to make something a little bit more "meaningful" (very heavy emphasis on the quotation marks), which even further stresses the point that without actual source art and artists to plagiarize from, it's garbage.

So not only are artists ripped off by corporations when building the LLMs and training the AI, but also a second time by end-users mentioning them in their prompts. How can anyone genuinely call the output "art" or the act "creativity" is truly beyond me.

So excited to see this finally shipped 🙌 It was a massive effort from the whole team to get it over the finish line. Wrote a lil post on the @livekit blog about it too blog.livekit.io/say-hello-to…
Today, we’re launching Analytics v2 for LiveKit Cloud—faster load times, new insights, and better controls. A complete infrastructure rebuild and redesign to power everything from AI assistants to 911 calls.

Not so hot if you ask me 😎 We had some really great convos around this! Can't wait when we ship it 🚀
Hot take: Light mode and dark mode don’t have to share the same accent color

My ears literally perked up and head bopped through the whole ending scene and credits. Love it when my favourite artists come together ✨
