hello-live

Hello Live is an OpenAI GPT-Live app that supports WebRTC voice calls. You can access the app at hello-live.val.run.

This demo shows off the GPT-Live WebRTC session API and the server-side sideband websocket used to observe and control a session. It uses Responses delegation: gpt-live-1 handles the spoken conversation while a backend Responses model (gpt-5.6-luna) handles reasoning and tool calls (e.g. end_call). Demo calls are limited to 3 minutes.

If you remix the app, you'll just need to pop in your own OPENAI_API_KEY (from platform.openai.com).

1. WebRTC Flow:
   • Browser connects to frontend and creates a WebRTC offer
   • /rtc endpoint posts the offer + session config to POST /v1/live/sessions and returns the SDP answer + session ID
   • sideband observer attached to monitor the session
2. Delegation:
   • GPT-Live delegates tool use to the Responses backend
   • Function calls arrive on the sideband wrapped in response.event
   • The observer returns results with response.item.create and continues the backend with response.create

• GET / - serves the WebRTC-based app
• POST /rtc - creates a new GPT-Live WebRTC session; body is the SDP offer, response is { session: { id }, transport: { type: "webrtc", sdp } }
• POST /observer/:sessionId - internal endpoint to attach a GPT-Live sideband websocket for session control
