LIVEKIT + GROK + IBA
Voice is the Most Ungoverned Agent Input That Exists · IBA Closes It
LiveKit delivers the voice.
Grok reasons over the instruction.
IBA Intent Bound Authorization declares what the agent
is authorized to do — before it heard a single word.
No typed prompt to inspect. No visible instruction chain.
Just speech to action with nothing in between.
Natural language cannot override a cryptographic certificate.
Including spoken natural language.
The voice says pay.
The cert decides if it is authorized.
