Field notes on AI-era growth, deliverability, voice, and messaging for developers and teams building on Orbit by Devotel.
LiveKit, Agora, and Daily each sell real-time video and audio from a different posture: an open-source SFU you operate, a managed real-time network, and a browser-first embed. Compare SFU architecture, recording, SIP interconnect, regions, and pricing shape on each vendor's published pages before you decide to build or buy.
The buyer-side decomposition of the 2026 AI-voice stack. Speech recognition vendors, synthesis vendors, open-source orchestration, and the end-to-end specialists are four separate purchase decisions now; this post runs the three lanes (self-assembled, end-to-end specialist, telco-owning platform) through an eight-row custody table and links each archetype to the head-to-heads we have already published.
A source-based comparison of LiveKit's open-source real-time communications platform against Devotel Orbit's omnichannel communications platform, evaluation criteria, honest cell values from /compare/livekit, tenant-owned controls, and a migration path.
