Chert FaceTime Opensource is a CLI/SDK that bridges WebRTC (LiveKit) agents onto FaceTime calls by running a local Node.js connector that shuttles audio/video between a Chrome FaceTime guest tab and a LiveKit room. It's interesting because it lets builders own their agent stack while reaching FaceTime's consumer-grade video interface without hosting infrastructure, though it's experimental and the connectors cleverly work around FaceTime's block on direct LiveKit connections.

Target audience: backend devs, AI/voice agent builders, full-stack developers
