Tavus plugin for LiveKit Agents
Support for the Tavus virtual avatar.
See the Tavus integration docs for more information.
Installation
pip install livekit-plugins-tavus
Pre-requisites
You'll need an API key from Tavus. It can be set as an environment variable: TAVUS_API_KEY
Avatar emotion
Once the avatar has joined the room, set its facial emotion with set_emotion. The avatar keeps it until the next call.
start() returns before the avatar joins the room, and an emotion sent before then is dropped, so wait for the avatar with wait_for_join() first.
avatar = tavus.AvatarSession(face_id="...")
await avatar.start(session, room=ctx.room)
await avatar.wait_for_join()
await avatar.set_emotion("happiness")
Supported emotions: neutral, happiness, sadness, anger, fear, surprise, disgust, contempt.
To let the LLM choose the emotion, wrap it in a function tool:
@function_tool
async def set_emotion(context: RunContext, emotion: tavus.Emotion) -> None:
"""Set the facial emotion of your avatar."""
await avatar.set_emotion(emotion)
