# LangSmith now traces voice agents from Pipecat, LiveKit, OpenAI Realtime, and Gemini Live

**[Collections](https://daily.dev/sources/collections)** · 2 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

LangSmith now supports tracing for voice agents built with Pipecat, LiveKit, OpenAI Realtime, and Gemini Live (via Google ADK). Each trace captures full conversation audio, STT/TTS latency, interruptions, tool calls, and voice activity detection events in a single trace tree. Both classic STT→LLM→TTS pipelines and direct speech-to-speech architectures are supported. Integration requires only a few lines of Python.

## Content

LangSmith added tracing support for voice agents across four major frameworks: Pipecat, LiveKit, OpenAI Realtime, and Gemini Live via the Google ADK.

Voice agents have historically been hard to debug. Audio flows through multiple stages - speech detection, transcription, LLM inference, synthesis - and when something goes wrong, there's rarely a clean log to look at. This integration pulls all of that into a single trace tree.

## What gets captured

Each trace includes:

- Full conversation audio
- STT and TTS latency
- Interruption events (and exactly which audio the user heard before interrupting)
- Tool calls with timing - for example, a weather lookup that took 1.29 seconds
- Voice activity detection events
- Token usage, with native audio tokens separated from regular text tokens

The timeline view color-codes user speech in blue, model responses in orange, and custom tool executions separately, so it's easy to see what happened and when.

Both "sandwich" architectures (STT → LLM → TTS) and native speech-to-speech setups like Gemini Live are supported, so teams get the same debugging workflow regardless of how their pipeline is built.

## Setup

Each integration takes a few lines of Python. For Gemini Live via the Google ADK, register `LangSmithGoogleADKLivePlugin` in your agent and you're done.
