Build with WAI

WAI is free and open: the standard, its reference software and everything on these pages run on your own machines, under Apache-2.0, with no account.

• Quickstart: install the wai command line, see WAI’s four steps on a sample, and run a live room on your machine in two tabs.
• Examples: small projects, each a template of wai create: a video room, watching together, messaging and a call, an encoder into a room, packaging a title, receipts in Rust and Python, native apps on Apple platforms and Android, remote desktop.
• SDKs and libraries: the command line, the Rust crate, the room client for the browser, the native sinks, the C interface and the independent verifiers.
• The room service and the relay: every HTTP route of the room service, and how a client connects to the relay.
• Breaking changes: wai breaking, what a change breaks for readers, verifiers and programs written against an earlier WAI, and how an intended break is acknowledged.
• Conformance runs: wai conform, WAI’s conformance corpora run against your implementation, with a signed result anyone can check.

The specification and its extensions are the normative text; these pages say how to build with them.

For coding assistants and agents. Every page here has a Markdown version at the same address ending in .md (this one is /docs.md), and /llms.txt indexes them.
