hermes-livekit is a realtime voice gateway plugin for Hermes Agent that gives it two ways to be reached by voice. It serves a direct, OpenAI-compatible WebRTC endpoint, and it can also join a LiveKit room as a Realtime Conference agent. Both transports share the same underlying pipeline: incoming speech is transcribed through Hermes, the transcript runs through the normal Hermes agent loop, and the reply comes back as synthesized speech, with both transports sharing one conversation event contract so the rest of Hermes sees a single consistent conversation regardless of which transport carried it. The project documents a planned path to telephone integration through Twilio Elastic SIP Trunking and LiveKit Cloud, including a design for a future Hermes-side call controller, but outbound dialing itself is not yet implemented by the plugin. Running it requires an existing Hermes Agent installation, since the plugin attaches to it rather than bundling its own copy, plus ffmpeg on the system PATH to decode text-to-speech audio for the WebRTC publish path; a reachable LiveKit server and API key/secret pair are only needed when using the Conference transport, since the direct WebRTC path has no LiveKit dependency at runtime. Installation goes through the Hermes plugin manager pointed at a specific subdirectory that holds the native plugin manifest, loader and pinned dependency declaration, which Hermes resolves alongside the core and any other enabled plugins into a dedicated Python environment that survives subsequent Hermes updates; Python 3.14 is supported. It targets users who want to talk to their Hermes Agent out loud, either peer-to-peer over WebRTC or inside a shared LiveKit room.
