LIVESTACK
A full-stack, realtime AI framework for JavaScript developers.
The future of AI isn't passive chatbots — it's realtime applications that are always on, always listening, always ready to help. Livestack makes building these apps approachable, from concept to deployment in hours.
Powered by a stream & liveflow architecture, Livestack handles intensive realtime AI workloads with graph-based orchestration, built-in persistence, and auto-scaling — so you focus on the idea, not the infrastructure.
Quick install
npm install @livestack/core @livestack/gateway @livestack/clientKey Features
Liveflow Architecture
Graph-based realtime workflows with multiple input/output streams per node — built for visual inspection and debugging.
Full-Stack Scaffolding
Bootstrap and deploy new AI projects with minimal configuration. Frontend, backend, and AI pipeline — all wired up.
Any Modality
Process text, image, audio, and video through unified streaming pipelines. Mix and match modalities freely.
Auto-Scaling
Provisioning system that scales your AI workloads across machines with zero configuration. Hybrid local and cloud deployment.
Built-in Data Logging
Every in-app activity is persisted and validated out of the box — ready for inspection, replay, and model training.
Dev-Friendly
Designed for JavaScript developers. Reasonable defaults, minimal surprises, and new abstractions only when necessary.

Design Principles
- ▸Simplicity over complexity — reduce cognitive load as much as possible.
- ▸Reasonable defaults — minimal configuration burden.
- ▸Minimal surprises — new abstractions only when absolutely necessary.
- ▸Battle-tested — every feature is stress-tested before release.
