GoLiveKit 2.0 Is Here

After months of building, testing, and iterating, we're excited to ship GoLiveKit 2.0. Here's everything that's new.

Redesigned Dashboard

The dashboard has been rebuilt from the ground up with a focus on clarity and speed.

  • Sidebar navigation with collapsible sections
  • Quick-access widgets for recent content, usage stats, and billing
  • Dark mode support across all pages

AI Writer Upgrades

The AI Writer now supports multi-turn context, allowing you to continue and refine a piece over multiple sessions.

const result = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
  system: 'You are a professional content editor.',
  prompt: 'Expand this intro paragraph with two supporting arguments.',
});

Stripe Billing Integration

GoLiveKit 2.0 ships with a fully managed billing module:

  1. Subscription plans — Monthly and annual options out of the box.
  2. Usage-based metering — Pay only for what you generate.
  3. Customer portal — Self-serve plan changes and invoice downloads.

"Billing used to take us two sprints to wire up. With GoLiveKit 2.0 it was an afternoon."

Under the Hood

We migrated the entire API layer to oRPC, giving you end-to-end type safety without the overhead of a schema registry.

Performance improvements at a glance:

p95 latency=i=1NtiN48ms\text{p95 latency} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{N} t_i}{N} \approx 48\text{ms}

Down from 210ms in 1.x.

🚀
GoLiveKit 2.0 is available to all users today. Existing projects migrate automatically — no action required.

Thank you to everyone who tested the beta. Let's build something great.
