Tavus

Tavus provides lifelike AI avatars that see, hear, and respond in real time, enabling natural video conversations with your AI agents.

Sample configuration

The following examples show how to configure a Tavus avatar when starting a conversational AI agent.

from agora_agent import Agent
from agora_agent.agentkit.vendors import Tavus

# client is your configured Agora client
agent = (
    Agent(client)
    .with_stt(...)  # configure your STT vendor
    .with_llm(...)  # configure your LLM vendor
    .with_tts(...)  # configure your TTS vendor
    .with_avatar(Tavus(
        api_key='<TAVUS_API_KEY>',
        api_base_url='https://tavusapi.com/v2/conversations/agora',
        avatar_id='<TAVUS_FACE_ID>',
        agora_uid='<AGORA_UID>',
    ))
)

import { Agent, Tavus } from 'agora-agents';

// client is your configured Agora client
const agent = new Agent({ client })
  .withStt(/* configure your STT vendor */)
  .withLlm(/* configure your LLM vendor */)
  .withTts(/* configure your TTS vendor */)
  .withAvatar(new Tavus({
    apiKey: '<TAVUS_API_KEY>',
    apiBaseUrl: 'https://tavusapi.com/v2/conversations/agora',
    avatarId: '<TAVUS_FACE_ID>',
    agoraUid: '<AGORA_UID>',
  }));

import (
    "github.com/AgoraIO/agora-agents-go/v2/agentkit"
    "github.com/AgoraIO/agora-agents-go/v2/agentkit/vendors"
)

// client is your configured Agora client
agent := agentkit.NewAgent(client).WithStt(/* configure your STT vendor */).
  WithLlm(/* configure your LLM vendor */).
  WithTts(/* configure your TTS vendor */).
  WithAvatar(
    vendors.NewTavus(vendors.TavusOptions{
        APIKey:     "<TAVUS_API_KEY>",
        APIBaseURL: "https://tavusapi.com/v2/conversations/agora",
        AvatarID:   "<TAVUS_FACE_ID>",
        AgoraUID:   "<AGORA_UID>",
    }),
)

Set vendor to generic and use the following avatar configuration in your request:

"avatar": {
  "vendor": "generic",
  "params": {
    "api_key": "<TAVUS_API_KEY>",
    "api_base_url": "https://tavusapi.com/v2/conversations/agora",
    "avatar_id": "<TAVUS_FACE_ID>",
    "agora_token": "<AGORA_TOKEN>",
    "agora_uid": "<AGORA_UID>"
  }
