Can I use livekit to make virual avatars and have them work for different providers? Particularly, akool, keygen and anam?

Thanks for reaching out, Affan. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

Thanks — you're asking whether LiveKit can power virtual avatars across the providers Akool, Keygen, and Anam. Here's the short answer and next steps. • Yes — LiveKit supports Anam via the

livekit-agents[anam]

plugin. You can provide an Anam API key and avatar ID to use Anam avatars in LiveKit rooms. • No — Akool is not listed or supported by LiveKit plugins. • No — Keygen is a software-licensing service and is not a virtual-avatar provider nor supported for avatar integration. If you want to use Akool or another unsupported provider, you can build a custom avatar plugin following LiveKit's plugin pattern so the provider's avatar worker can join a room and publish audio/video tracks. Do you want guidance on building a custom plugin or help mapping your Akool (or other) provider's API to LiveKit's avatar-worker flow?

Thanks for the clarification — you meant Anam, HeyGen, and Akool. Here's the current status and options: • Anam — Supported. Use the official Anam plugin (

livekit-agents[anam]

) with an Anam API key and avatar ID to publish avatar video/audio into LiveKit rooms. • HeyGen — Not supported by an official plugin. HeyGen appears as a LiveKit customer but there's no built-in avatar integration. You can integrate HeyGen by creating a custom plugin/worker that sends HeyGen's generated video/audio into a LiveKit room as tracks. • Akool — Not supported and not listed in LiveKit plugins. You would need to build a custom integration similar to HeyGen. If you'd like, I can: • Outline the steps to build a custom avatar plugin/worker for HeyGen or Akool, or • Show an example flow for wiring an avatar provider to publish video/audio tracks into a LiveKit room. Which would you prefer? Sources: Anam virtual avatar integration guide | LiveKit Docs | LiveKit Customers | Virtual avatar plugins | LiveKit Docs
