The Eyes and Ears of AI with Russ d'Sa, Founder and CEO @ LiveKit
In this episode, Brian sits down with Russ d’Sa, Founder and CEO of LiveKit. Russ is the co-founder and CEO of LiveKit, the network backbone for multimodal AI applications like ChatGPT and Character.ai. He started his first company in the 2007 batch of YC and was the 30th engineer at Twitter.
Russ shares candid stories about his initial rejection from YC, and how persistence led to eventual acceptance. Russ opens up about the trials, errors, and learnings from his previous startups, highlighting the importance of failure in the entrepreneurial journey.
Russ also details the birth and evolution of LiveKit, an exciting company providing open-source infrastructure for real-time communications. He explains LiveKit’s integration with GPT-4, and how LiveKit powers voice interactions for ChatGPT, allowing it to feel more like a natural conversation.
Brian and Russ also touch on larger themes like the importance of focus, healthy competition, and the potential of AI to revolutionize fields like education and mental health. Russ believes in the transformative power of technology, envisioning a future where humanoid robots and sophisticated AI interfaces are part of everyday life.
Then, in the Post-Fix, Harriet Koramoah joins Brian, where they figure out how to use a walkie-talkie, ask ChatGPT a few questions, and discuss what it means to be “multimodal”.
