FastRTC is a Python library that turns any Python function into a real-time audio and video stream over WebRTC or WebSockets. It includes built-in voice activity detection, turn-taking, an auto-launched Gradio UI, and easy mounting on FastAPI apps for custom frontends.
Use cases
- build a real-time voice chatbot with an LLM
- stream webcam audio and video to a multimodal AI model
- add speech-to-text and text-to-speech to a Python app
- create a phone-callable voice assistant
- mount a WebRTC endpoint on a FastAPI backend
- prototype voice agents with automatic pause detection
When to choose
- you want to build real-time audio/video AI applications in Python with minimal boilerplate
- you need built-in voice detection, turn-taking, and TTS/VAD extras
- you want a quick Gradio UI plus the option to mount on FastAPI for production
When to avoid
- you need a non-Python stack or fine-grained low-level WebRTC control
- your use case is offline batch audio/video processing rather than live streaming
- you need production telephony features beyond the temporary free phone number
