Sean DuBois is one of my favorite people to talk to about WebRTC, audio and video, designing good libraries, and hacking in general.
Sean is the creator of @_pion. Pion is an Open Source WebRTC implementation that is influential and very widely used (including at @OpenAI, where Sean works).
We talked about:
▶️ The history of WebRTC.
▶️ Why you probably need to use WebRTC instead of WebSockets for your voice AI application.
▶️ How we see things evolving for WebRTC➕AI in 2025.
▶️ Embedded WebRTC, telephony, and the most surprising use cases we've seen over the years (🐄 auctions).
I got a couple of good puns in, too. But don't let that stop you from watching the video.

The Pion community is vibrant and welcoming, and Sean also wrote the definitive guide to WebRTC, "WebRTC For The Curious."
