livekit-plugins-runway
LiveKit Agents plugin for Runway Characters avatar integration.
Your LiveKit agent owns the full conversational AI pipeline (STT, LLM, TTS). Runway provides the visual layer — audio in, avatar video out.
Installation
pip install livekit-plugins-runway
Usage
from livekit.agents import AgentSession, Agent, RoomOutputOptions
from livekit.plugins import runway
async def entrypoint(ctx):
session = AgentSession()
avatar = runway.AvatarSession(
avatar_id="your-custom-avatar-id",
# api_key defaults to RUNWAYML_API_SECRET env var
)
await avatar.start(session, room=ctx.room)
await session.start(
agent=Agent(instructions="Talk to me!"),
room=ctx.room,
room_output_options=RoomOutputOptions(audio_enabled=False),
)
Using a preset avatar
avatar = runway.AvatarSession(
preset_id="runway-preset-slug",
)
With a session duration limit
avatar = runway.AvatarSession(
avatar_id="your-custom-avatar-id",
max_duration=300,
)
