              (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
              use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
              where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
              by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
              Contribution(s) alone or by the combined work in which such
              Contribution(s) was submitted. If You institute patent litigation
              against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a
              lawsuit) alleging that the Work or any other patent claim (including
              a claim in cross or multi-claim in a lawsuit) constitutes direct or
              contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted
              to You under this License for that Work shall terminate as of the
              date such litigation is filed.
        
           4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
              Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
              modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
              meet the following conditions:
        
              (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or Derivative
                  Works a copy of this License; and
        
              (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
                  stating that You changed the files; and
        
              (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
                  that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
                  attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
                  excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
                  the Derivative Works; and
        
              (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
                  distribution, You must include a readable copy of the
                  attribution notices contained within such NOTICE file, in
                  at least one of the following places: within a NOTICE text
                  file distributed as part of the Derivative Works; within
                  the Source form or documentation, if provided along with the
                  Derivative Works; or, within a display generated by the

                  informational purposes only and do not modify the License.
                  You may add Your own attribution notices within Derivative
                  Works that You distribute, alongside or in addition to the
                  NOTICE text from the Work, provided that such additional

           7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
              agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
              Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
              WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
              implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
              of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
              PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
              appropriateness of using or reproducing the Work and assume any
              risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
        
           8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
              whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
              unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
              negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
              liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
              incidental, or exemplary damages of any character arising as a
              result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
              Work (even if such Contributor has been advised of the possibility
              of such damages).
        
           9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
              the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer, and
              charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity, or
              other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
              License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may offer only
              conditions consistent with this License and not impose any additional
              conditions.

# Vani

**The WebRTC for Indian AI Agents.**

[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-Apache%202.0-blue.svg)](LICENSE)
[![Python](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.10%2B-blue)](pyproject.toml)
[![Protocol](https://img.shields.io/badge/protocol-VAM%2F1.0-orange)](spec/VAM-Overview.md)
[![Status](https://img.shields.io/badge/status-alpha-yellow)](CHANGELOG.md)

Vani is an **open-source protocol and middleware library** that handles the messy Voice↔Text↔Action loop for Indian languages. Think of it as the missing link between your LLM and an Indian user calling on a 2G connection — speaking Hinglish.

---

## Why Vani?

India has **1.4 billion people**, only **~12% read or write English fluently**, and 22 official languages. Yet every AI voice agent built for India reinvents the same wheel:

- Phoneme mapping for Hindi retroflex consonants (`ट`, `ठ`, `ड`, `ढ`)
- Code-switching detection ("मुझे एक _laptop_ चाहिए")
- 2G-safe audio codec negotiation (AMR-NB vs. Opus vs. PCM)
- Bhashini / Sarvam / AI4Bharat backend failover
- MeitY DPDP Act data-residency compliance

**Vani solves all of this in one open protocol.**

## Quick Start

### Install

```bash
# Core + Sarvam AI backend
pip install vani[sarvam]

# Core + AI4Bharat (self-hosted, open-weights)
pip install vani[ai4bharat]

# Core + Bhashini ULCA
pip install vani[bhashini]

# Everything
pip install vani[sarvam,ai4bharat,bhashini,dev]
```

### Hello World — Hinglish Support Agent

```python
import asyncio
from vani import SessionConfig
from vani.backends.sarvam import SarvamSTTBackend, SarvamLLMBackend, SarvamTTSBackend
from vani.gateway.stub import VaniGatewayStub

async def main():
    config = SessionConfig.for_hinglish(caller_id="+91-9876543210")

    gateway = VaniGatewayStub(
        config=config,
        stt=SarvamSTTBackend(api_key="sk-..."),
        llm=SarvamLLMBackend(api_key="sk-..."),
        tts=SarvamTTSBackend(api_key="sk-..."),
        system_prompt="आप एक helpful customer support agent हैं।",
    )

    async for event in gateway.process_audio(your_audio_stream()):
        if event.transcript and event.transcript.is_final:
            print("USER:", event.transcript.text)
        if event.synthesis_chunk and event.synthesis_chunk.is_final:
            play_audio(event.synthesis_chunk.audio_bytes)

asyncio.run(main())
```

## Try it in the Browser

Want to test the full STT → LLM → TTS pipeline before writing any code? Vani ships with a **web demo** you can try instantly.

### One-click deploy

[![Deploy to Render](https://render.com/images/deploy-to-render-button.svg)](https://render.com/deploy?repo=https://github.com/vani-voice/vani)

> You'll be asked for a `SARVAM_API_KEY` — get one free at [sarvam.ai](https://www.sarvam.ai).

### Or run locally

```bash
git clone https://github.com/vani-voice/vani
cd vani
pip install -e ".[sarvam]" fastapi uvicorn

export SARVAM_API_KEY=your-key-here
python webapp/server.py
# Open http://localhost:8000
```

**Hold the mic button** (or press spacebar), speak in any supported Indian language, and release. You'll see:

1. 🎙 **Live transcription** of your speech
2. 🧠 **LLM response** generated in the same language
3. 🔊 **TTS playback** of the assistant's reply

The web demo uses the same `VaniGatewayStub` pipeline as a production integration — it's a real end-to-end test of the protocol.

> **Languages supported**: Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Bengali, Marathi, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati, English (India)

## Transport Tiers

Vani automatically negotiates the right codec for the caller's network:

| Tier  | Network | Codec  | Sample Rate     | Use Case                     |
| ----- | ------- | ------ | --------------- | ---------------------------- |
| **A** | 2G GPRS | AMR-NB | 8 kHz           | Rural IVR, feature phones    |
| **B** | 3G      | Opus   | 16 kHz          | Smartphone apps, low-cost 4G |
| **C** | 4G/WiFi | PCM    | 16 kHz / 16-bit | Full quality, edge servers   |

```python
from vani.session import AudioProfile, SessionConfig

config = SessionConfig.for_rural("hi-IN")          # Forces Tier A
config = SessionConfig.for_language("ta-IN",       # Specify tier
    audio_profile=AudioProfile.tier_b())
```

## Code-Switching

Hindi-English code-switching ("Hinglish") is a first-class feature:

```
Input audio:  "मुझे ये laptop बहुत पसंद है"
               [Hindi]  [English] [Hindi⟩]

TranscriptEvent:
  text: "मुझे ये laptop बहुत पसंद है"
  code_switch_spans:
    - start_char: 8        # Unicode code-point offsets
      end_char: 14
      language_bcp47: "en"
      confidence: 0.94
```

> **Important**: Offsets are **Unicode code-point** positions, not UTF-8 byte offsets.
> `म` is 1 code point but 3 bytes in UTF-8.

## Protocol

Vani is defined by three Protobuf files:

| File                                                         | Purpose                                          |
| ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
| [`proto/vani/v1/session.proto`](proto/vani/v1/session.proto) | Session negotiation — codec, languages, backends |
| [`proto/vani/v1/stream.proto`](proto/vani/v1/stream.proto)   | Bidirectional audio/text streaming               |
| [`proto/vani/v1/action.proto`](proto/vani/v1/action.proto)   | MCP action execution over the stream             |

### Compile Stubs

```bash
pip install grpcio-tools
python -m grpc_tools.protoc \
  -I proto \
  --python_out=vani/generated \
  --grpc_python_out=vani/generated \
  --pyi_out=vani/generated \
  proto/vani/v1/session.proto \
  proto/vani/v1/stream.proto \
  proto/vani/v1/action.proto
```

---

## Action Layer (MCP)

Vani uses the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** for tool calls. The gateway can invoke Indian-government and agritech APIs inline during a conversation:

```python
async def my_action_handler(tool_name: str, args: dict) -> str:
    if tool_name == "enam_mandi_price":
        price = await fetch_enam_price(args["crop"], args["mandi"])
        return json.dumps(price)

gateway = VaniGatewayStub(..., action_callback=my_action_handler)
```

### India Tool Registry

Pre-specified MCP tool schemas for Indian services (see [`spec/IndiaToolRegistry.md`](spec/IndiaToolRegistry.md)):

| Tool                   | Service     | Input                     |
| ---------------------- | ----------- | ------------------------- |
| `pan_validate`         | NSDL/UTI    | pan_number                |
| `aadhaar_verify_otp`   | UIDAI       | aadhaar_number            |
| `enam_mandi_price`     | eNAM        | crop, mandi               |
| `pm_kisan_eligibility` | PM-KISAN    | mobile_number, state      |
| `bhashini_translate`   | IndicTrans2 | text, src, tgt            |
| `ration_card_lookup`   | NFSA        | ration_card_number, state |

## Examples

```bash
# 🌐 Web demo — test in the browser (no mic code needed)
SARVAM_API_KEY=sk-... python webapp/server.py
# → Open http://localhost:8000

# 🎤 CLI demo — terminal-based mic + Rich UI
SARVAM_API_KEY=sk-... python demo/live_cli.py

# Hinglish customer support agent

```

---

## Conformance

Implementors of the VAM/1.0 protocol can validate against the YAML test suite:

```bash
ls conformance/tests/
# session_negotiation.yaml  (10 tests)
# code_switch.yaml          (10 tests)
# turn_signals.yaml         (12 tests)
```

See [`conformance/README.md`](conformance/README.md) for the conformance runner spec.

---

## Data Residency & Compliance

Vani defaults to **`DATA_RESIDENCY_INDIA_ONLY`** to comply with the **Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023**:

- Audio data never leaves Indian data centres (Sarvam/AI4Bharat servers in India)
- PII fields (`aadhaar_number`, `pan_number`) are not logged at the gateway layer
- Bhashini backend uses MeitY-hosted ULCA infrastructure

Override only when explicitly needed:

```python
from vani.session import DataResidency
config.data_residency = DataResidency.ANY   # Not recommended
```

---

## Development

```bash
git clone https://github.com/vani-voice/vani
cd vani
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run tests
pytest

# Type-check
mypy vani/

# Lint
ruff check vani/

# Regenerate proto stubs
python -m grpc_tools.protoc -I proto \
  --python_out=vani/generated --grpc_python_out=vani/generated --pyi_out=vani/generated \
  proto/vani/v1/*.proto
```
