This presentation explores the application of computer vision and machine learning models for real-time video and audio processing. We'll demonstrate how this technology can enable the creation of a whole new category of live-streaming applications.

Developing a video conferencing application has historically been fairly complex. We will start with a brief overview of the Livekit open-source APIs, showcasing how to build a simple and intuitive video streaming Android application.

Next, we will explore integrating various ML-powered agents into the experience. We will also illustrate how to use reactive programming techniques to create easily understandable and modifiable multi-stage processing pipelines.

Looking forward to exploring this exciting and innovative topic with you!
