Story overview
On October 3, 2026, a DEV Community report said Microsoft's MAI voice models are now available in LiveKit Agents through an official Microsoft AI text-to-speech plugin. The integration gives developers a documented way to use expressive MAI voices, including MAI-Voice-2-Flash, inside LiveKit-based voice applications.
According to the report, teams building real-time phone, web, or interactive assistants gain an additional officially supported speech provider and no longer need to connect Microsoft's speech services on their own. The report did not cover pricing, the full list of available voices, the timeline of the integration, or how it compares with other speech providers LiveKit already supports.
The story currently rests at the point of availability: the plugin is described as official, MAI-Voice-2-Flash is cited as an example voice, and the intended use cases are real-time voice applications built on LiveKit. No further progress was reported in the material available.
