+# Gemini Hacker Starter
+
+A minimal starting point for building with **Gemini 3.1**, **NanoBanana 2**, and **Lyria RealTime** on LiveKit. Get a working multimodal agent running in under 10 minutes, then make it your own.
+
+Built for the **Google DeepMind × YC Hackathon**.
+
+---
+
+## What's included
+
+| Model | What it does in this starter |
+|---|---|
+| **Gemini 3.1 Flash Audio** | Real-time voice conversation with native audio and video understanding |
+| **NanoBanana 2** (`gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview`) | Generates images from text prompts — agent calls it as a function tool and sends the result to your browser |
+| **Lyria RealTime** (`models/lyria-realtime-exp`) | Streams generative music into the LiveKit room as a live audio track |
+
+The agent can see your camera, hear you speak, generate images on demand, and play real-time music — all through a single LiveKit room.
+
+---
+
+## Install the LiveKit MCP server
+
+Install this before you start. It gives your AI coding assistant direct access to LiveKit documentation so you get accurate, current help as you build.
+
+**Cursor** — click to install:
+
+[![Install MCP Server in Cursor](https://cursor.com/deeplink/mcp-install-dark.svg)](https://cursor.com/en-US/install-mcp?name=livekit-docs&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2RvY3MubGl2ZWtpdC5pby9tY3AifQ%3D%3D)
+
+Or add manually to your MCP settings:
+
+```json
+{
+  "livekit-docs": {

+```
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.10–3.13
+- Node.js 18+
+- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) (Python package manager)
+- LiveKit CLI:
+  - macOS: `brew install livekit-cli`
+  - Linux: `curl -sSL https://get.livekit.io/cli | bash`
+  - Windows: `winget install LiveKit.LiveKitCLI`
+- [LiveKit Cloud account](https://cloud.livekit.io) (free)
+- Google API key with access to Gemini 3.1, NanoBanana 2, and Lyria
+
+---
+
+## Quick start
+
+### 1. Set up the agent
+
+```bash
+cd agent
+uv sync
+cp .env.example .env.local
+```
+
+Edit `.env.local` with your credentials:
+
+```env
+LIVEKIT_URL=wss://your-project.livekit.cloud
+LIVEKIT_API_KEY=your_key
+LIVEKIT_API_SECRET=your_secret
+GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_google_api_key
+```
+
+Or use the LiveKit CLI to pull credentials from your cloud project automatically:
+
+```bash
+lk cloud auth
+lk app env -w -d .env.local
+```
+
+### 2. Set up the frontend
+
+```bash
+cd ../frontend
+pnpm install
+cp .env.example .env.local
+```
+
+Edit `frontend/.env.local`:
+
+```env
+LIVEKIT_URL=wss://your-project.livekit.cloud
+LIVEKIT_API_KEY=your_key
+LIVEKIT_API_SECRET=your_secret
+```
+
+Or use the LiveKit CLI:
+
+```bash
+lk app env -w
+```
+
+### 3. Run the agent
+
+```bash
+cd agent
+uv run agent.py dev
+```
+
+### 4. Run the frontend
+
+In a new terminal:
+
+```bash
+cd frontend
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000), click **Start hacking**, and talk to your agent.
+
+---
+
+## Try it out
+
+Once running, try these prompts:
+
+- *"Generate an image of a neon-lit street at night in the style of a Studio Ghibli film"*
+- *"Play some calm ambient music"*
+- *"Stop the music"*
+- *"What do you see through my camera?"*
+- *"Generate a logo for a company called Quantum Noodle"*
+
+---
+
+## Customization
+
+All the extension points are marked with `# HACK HERE:` comments in `agent/agent.py`. Here are the main ones.
+
+### Change the agent's persona
+
+Edit `PERSONA_INSTRUCTIONS` at the top of `agent/agent.py`:
+
+```python
+PERSONA_INSTRUCTIONS = """You are a live sports commentator.
+Watch the game through the user's camera and provide real-time strategic analysis.
+Call out key moments, track the score, and keep energy high."""
+```
+
+### Add a function tool
+
+```python
+from livekit.agents import function_tool, RunContext
+
+@function_tool()
+async def search_the_web(self, context: RunContext, query: str) -> str:
+    """Search the web for current information.
+
+    Args:
+        query: The search query
+    """
+    # your implementation here
+    return "results..."
+```
+
+### Adjust video frame rate
+
+By default, video frames are sampled based on voice activity. For continuous commentary (e.g., watching a game), use a constant frame rate:
+
+```python
+from livekit.agents import voice
+
+session = AgentSession(
+    llm=google.realtime.RealtimeModel(...),
+    video_sampler=voice.VoiceActivityVideoSampler(speaking_fps=1.0, silent_fps=1.0),
+)
+```
+
+### Swap the Gemini voice
+
+Change the `voice` parameter in `agent.py`:
+
+```python
+llm=google.realtime.RealtimeModel(
+    model=REALTIME_MODEL,
+    voice="Kore",  # Options: Aoede, Charon, Fenrir, Kore, Puck
+)
+```
+
+### Customize image generation
+
+The `generate_image` tool in `HackathonAgent` sends the result as a data message to the frontend. You can extend it to:
+- Apply a style prefix to every prompt (e.g., always render in watercolor)
+- Send multiple images
+- Log prompts and images for a gallery view
+
+### Customize Lyria music
+
+The `start_music` tool accepts a `prompt` (text description) and `bpm`. You can extend it to expose more Lyria controls like `density`, `brightness`, and `scale`. See the [Lyria RealTime docs](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/music-generation) for all available config options.
+
+---
+
+## Project ideas
+
+These are just starting points. Build whatever seems interesting.
+
+**Live foley engine** — Agent watches your video feed and generates matching ambient sounds and music in real time using Lyria. Point the camera at rain, a fire, a crowd — the agent creates a matching soundscape.
+
+**Live game asset generator** — Sketch character designs or level layouts on paper, show them to the camera, and ask the agent to render polished versions using NanoBanana 2.
+
+**Interactive storytelling** — Narrate a scene out loud. The agent listens, generates an image of what you describe, and plays mood-appropriate music — all simultaneously.
+
+**Spatial design tool** — Point your camera at a room and describe how you'd redesign it. The agent generates photo-realistic renders of the redesigned space.
+
+**Accessibility scene describer** — Agent watches a live video feed and generates detailed audio descriptions plus spatial soundscapes for visually impaired users.
+
+**Real-time style transfer** — Capture frames from the camera, send them through the image model with style prompts, and stream the stylized output back to the screen continuously.
+
+---
+

+
+### Project structure
+
+This starter uses the [Agents UI](https://livekit.io/ui) components for core UI elements like media controls, audio visualizers, chat transcripts, and providing session data. Shadcn installs components into `components/` folder so you can customize them like any other local component.
+
+```
+agent-starter-react/
+├── app/
+│   ├── api/
+├── components/
+│   ├── agents-ui/     - Agents UI components
+│   ├── ai-elements/   - AI Elements components
+│   ├── app/           - App-specific components
+│   ├── ui/            - Primitive shadcn/ui components
+├── fonts/
+├── hooks/
+├── lib/
+├── public/
+└── package.json
+```
+
+Business logic lives within the `components/app` folder. It's here where the application's state and behavior is managed and the various Shadcn UI components are composed together.
+
+| File                  | Description                                                                                                                                           |
+| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `session-view.tsx`    | Initializes the application, and LiveKit session. Renders the view controller and session UI including chat transcript, media tiles, and control bar. |
+| `view-controller.tsx` | Manages the transitions between the welcome and session views based on the LiveKit session state.                                                     |
+| `welcome-view.tsx`    | Renders the welcome UI when the LiveKit session is not connected.                                                                                     |
+| `chat-transcript.tsx` | Manages the chat transcript transitions.                                                                                                              |
+| `tile-layout.tsx`     | Manages the layout and transition of media tiles in various application states.                                                                       |
+
+### Component usage
+
+Most Agents UI components require access to a LiveKit session object for access to values like agent state or audio tracks. A Session object can be created from a [TokenSource](/reference/client-sdk-js/variables/TokenSource.html), and provided by wrapping the component in an [AgentSessionProvider](/reference/components/shadcn/component/agent-session-provider).
+
+See [`components/app/app.tsx`](./components/app/app.tsx) for an example of how this is done in this app.
+
+### Customizing components
+
+Agents UI components, like most Shadcn compopnents, take as many primitive attributes as possible. For example, the [AgentControlBar](/reference/components/shadcn/component/agent-control-bar/page.mdoc) component extends `HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>`, so you can pass any props that a div supports. This makes it easy to extend the component with your own styles or functionality.
+
+You can edit any Agents UI component's source code in the `components/agents-ui` directory. For style changes, we recommend passing in tailwind classes to override the default styles. Take a look at the source code to get a sense of how to override a component's default styles.
+
+### Updating components
+
+To update the Agents UI components to the latest publication, run the following command:
+
+```bash
+pnpm shadcn:install
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The CLI will ask before overwriting any modified files so you can avoid losing any customizations you might have made.
+
+### Installing components
+
+```bash
+pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @agents-ui/{component-name-a} @agents-ui/{component-name-b}
+```
+
+## Getting started
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you'd like to try this application without modification, you can deploy an instance in just a few clicks with [LiveKit Cloud Sandbox](https://cloud.livekit.io/projects/p_/sandbox/templates/agent-starter-react).
+
+[![Open on LiveKit](https://img.shields.io/badge/Open%20on%20LiveKit%20Cloud-002CF2?style=for-the-badge&logo=external-link)](https://cloud.livekit.io/projects/p_/sandbox/templates/agent-starter-react)
+
+Run the following command to automatically clone this template.
+
+```bash
+lk app create --template agent-starter-react
+```
+
+Then run the app with:
+
+```bash
+pnpm install
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+And open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
+
+You'll also need an agent to speak with. Try our starter agent for [Python](https://github.com/livekit-examples/agent-starter-python), [Node.js](https://github.com/livekit-examples/agent-starter-node), or [create your own from scratch](https://docs.livekit.io/agents/start/voice-ai/).
+
+## Configuration
+
+This starter is designed to be flexible so you can adapt it to your specific agent use case. You can easily configure it to work with different types of inputs and outputs:
+
+#### Example: App configuration (`app-config.ts`)
+
+```ts
+export const APP_CONFIG_DEFAULTS: AppConfig = {
+  companyName: 'LiveKit',
+  pageTitle: 'LiveKit Voice Agent',
+  pageDescription: 'A voice agent built with LiveKit',
+
+  supportsChatInput: true,
+  supportsVideoInput: true,
+  supportsScreenShare: true,
+  isPreConnectBufferEnabled: true,
+
+  logo: '/lk-logo.svg',
+  accent: '#002cf2',
+  logoDark: '/lk-logo-dark.svg',
+  accentDark: '#1fd5f9',
+  startButtonText: 'Start call',
+
+  // agent dispatch configuration
+  agentName: undefined,
+
+  // LiveKit Cloud Sandbox configuration
+  sandboxId: undefined,
+};
+```
+
+You can update these values in [`app-config.ts`](./app-config.ts) to customize branding, features, and UI text for your deployment.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The `sandboxId` is for the LiveKit Cloud Sandbox environment.
+> It is not used for local development.
+
+#### Environment Variables
+
+You'll also need to configure your LiveKit credentials in `.env.local` (copy `.env.example` if you don't have one):
+
+```env
+LIVEKIT_API_KEY=your_livekit_api_key
+LIVEKIT_API_SECRET=your_livekit_api_secret
+LIVEKIT_URL=https://your-livekit-server-url
+
+# Agent dispatch (https://docs.livekit.io/agents/server/agent-dispatch)
+# Leave AGENT_NAME blank to enable automatic dispatch
+# Provide an agent name to enable explicit dispatch
+AGENT_NAME=
+```
+
+These are required for the voice agent functionality to work with your LiveKit project.
+
