Hi How can i get get my previous used stock avatrs to point out to cara4
✅ 1
t
Thanks for reaching out, Guess. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Thanks — I can help with that. A couple quick clarifying questions so I point you to the right steps: 1. By "previous used stock avatars" do you mean avatars you selected in your account/profile, or avatars used in a specific project/room? 2. What is "cara4" — a username, a profile name, a project/room ID, or something else? 3. Which product or interface are you using (web dashboard, mobile app, or API)? 4. If you know any IDs (project ID, room ID, avatar IDs) please share them. Once you tell me the above, I’ll give step-by-step instructions for locating those avatars and linking/assigning them to cara4. , with interactive elements

1.yes avtars means profile /account default avtars 2. cara 4 is the model earlier model is cara3
t
Thanks — got it: you mean profile/account default avatars, and you want to assign a previous stock avatar (used earlier with cara3) to the new model cara4. A few quick questions so I can give exact steps: • Which interface are you using to manage models/avatars: web dashboard, mobile app, or API/CLI? • Is cara4 defined in a specific project/workspace (do you have its project or model ID)? • Do you have admin/editor access to that project/account? Tell me those and I’ll provide step‑by‑step instructions (GUI or API) to find your previously used stock avatars and point one to cara4. , with interactive elements

web ecfb2ddb-80ec-4526-88a7-299a4738957c avatar id for cara 3
t
Thanks — I’m responding about assigning the previous stock avatar (used by cara3 in project ecfb2ddb-80ec-4526-88a7-299a4738957c) to cara4 on the web dashboard. I just need two quick confirmations to give exact click-by-click steps: 1. Do you have admin/editor access in that project so you can edit models and assign avatars? 2. Does cara4 already exist as a model in the same project? If yes, please share cara4’s model ID or confirm the exact model name as shown in the dashboard. Once you confirm those, I’ll give the exact web dashboard steps to locate the cara3 avatar and set/assign it to cara4. , with interactive elements

yes and i see same avatr id for cara 4 as well how can i set this in code
t
Thanks — I’m responding about using the known avatar ID (ecfb2ddb-80ec-4526-88a7-299a4738957c) to set the avatar for cara4 in code. Quick question before I give code: which language/SDK are you using — JavaScript (browser/node), or Python? Also, which avatar plugin/provider did you use to create that avatar (if you know: D-ID, Hedra, TruGen, etc.)? Tell me that and I’ll provide the exact code snippet to instantiate the avatar for cara4. Sources: TruGen.AI realtime avatar integration guide | LiveKit Documentation, with interactive elements

python sdk
t
Thanks — you want a Python SDK snippet to use the existing avatar ID (ecfb2ddb-80ec-4526-88a7-299a4738957c) for cara4. Since the avatar ID is already created, you simply pass it when creating the avatar session for cara4. Below is a concise Python example showing how to instantiate an avatar session with a known 
avatar_id
and attach it to a LiveKit participant. Adjust names/IDs to your environment.
Copy code
# Example using LiveKit avatar plugin pattern
from livekit.plugins import <provider_plugin>  # replace with actual plugin, e.g., trugen, hedra, did
from livekit import LiveKitClient  # replace if your SDK uses a different client import

# 1) Configure LiveKit client (replace with your values)
lk = LiveKitClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", api_secret="YOUR_API_SECRET", url="https://your-livekit-url")

# 2) Create an AvatarSession using the existing avatar ID for cara4
avatar = <provider_plugin>.AvatarSession(
    avatar_id="ecfb2ddb-80ec-4526-88a7-299a4738957c",  # stock avatar previously used by cara3
    # optional: other params (voice, locale, etc.) depending on plugin
)

# 3) Start/attach the avatar to a LiveKit participant in a room
# This is an illustrative pattern; replace with your SDK's participant/room APIs.
room = lk.join_room(room_name="your_room", participant_name="cara4")
participant = room.get_participant("cara4")

# Attach avatar media/tracks to participant (method names vary by SDK/plugin)
avatar_session = avatar.start()                     # start avatar session if required
media_tracks = avatar_session.get_output_tracks()    # get audio/video tracks from avatar
for track in media_tracks:
    participant.publish_track(track)
Notes: • Replace 
<provider_plugin>
with the avatar provider plugin you used (D-ID, Hedra, TruGen, etc.). Each plugin may require slightly different parameters or method names. • If the plugin requires an agent/creator ID instead of 
avatar_id
, pass that value instead. • If your SDK exposes different methods to join rooms or publish tracks, use the equivalents in your codebase. If you tell me which avatar provider/plugin you used (e.g., D-ID, Hedra, TruGen) I’ll provide a tighter, provider-specific Python snippet with exact imports and method names. , with interactive elements

using anam avatar
t
Great — you’re using the Anam plugin and want to set the existing avatar ID for cara4 in Python. Below is a concise example that reuses your avatar ID and starts an Anam AvatarSession for cara4.
Copy code
from livekit.plugins import anam

# Create the Anam avatar session for cara4 using the existing avatarId
avatar = anam.AvatarSession(
    persona_config=anam.PersonaConfig(
        name="cara4",
        avatarId="ecfb2ddb-80ec-4526-88a7-299a4738957c",  # existing avatar ID from cara3
    ),
)

# Start the avatar session (example async call; adapt to your session and room objects)
await avatar.start(session, room=ctx.room)
Notes: • 
avatarId
must be the Anam avatar identifier (you already have it). • 
name
is the display name for the persona and can differ from the avatarId. • If you need the exact call signatures for your LiveKit client/session objects, tell me which LiveKit session object you’re using and I’ll provide the precise snippet. Sources: Anam virtual avatar integration guide | LiveKit Documentation, with interactive elements
e
what is name here is it model
t
Good question — 
name
is the display label for the persona (what you and other participants will see), not the avatar asset ID or a unique model identifier. • Use 
name
for a human-friendly label like 
"cara4"
, 
"Customer Support Bot"
, etc. • Keep 
avatarId
as the exact Anam avatar identifier (
ecfb2ddb-80ec-4526-88a7-299a4738957c
) — that selects the visual asset. If you want 
cara4
to be both the display name and the model label, set 
name="cara4"
as in the example. Would you like a snippet showing how to publish the avatar’s tracks to a LiveKit participant? , with interactive elements
e
how do we point out to model =>cara4
t
To "point" the avatar to model = cara4, set 
name="cara4"
in the Anam 
PersonaConfig
and use the existing 
avatarId
. That 
name
is the persona label; 
avatarId
is the visual asset. Concise example (Python, Anam plugin):
Copy code
from livekit.plugins import anam

avatar = anam.AvatarSession(
    persona_config=anam.PersonaConfig(
        name="cara4",                                 # label for the persona/model instance
        avatarId="ecfb2ddb-80ec-4526-88a7-299a4738957c",  # existing Anam avatar ID
    ),
)

# start the avatar session and attach to your LiveKit agent/session
await avatar.start(session, room=ctx.room)
If you want the avatar to appear as the LiveKit participant named "cara4", ensure you join/publish using that participant identity in your room code — tell me how you join/publish and I’ll give the exact snippet to publish the avatar’s tracks as the "cara4" participant.

You can use previous avatar id, just set 
avatarModel: "cara-4-latest"
. If you're creating new avatars you'll need to make sure to create it as a Cara 4 avatar, not a Cara 3 avatar. You can see how in the guide Jake shared
t
Thanks — got it. To use the previous avatar ID with the Cara 4 model, set the Anam persona to use that avatarId and specify the Cara‑4 model. Example Python snippet:
Copy code
from livekit.plugins import anam

avatar = anam.AvatarSession(
    persona_config=anam.PersonaConfig(
        name="cara4",
        avatarId="ecfb2ddb-80ec-4526-88a7-299a4738957c",
        avatarModel="cara-4-latest",  # ensure Cara 4 model is used
    ),
)

await avatar.start(session, room=ctx.room)
If you need the exact fields for your LiveKit session/participant publishing (so the avatar appears as participant "cara4"), tell me how you join/publish in your code and I’ll give the precise snippet. , with interactive elements
e
what happens if we have custom avatr which is create on cara3
t
If a custom avatar was created on Cara‑3, it will keep using Cara‑3 characteristics unless you recreate or migrate it to Cara‑4. You can’t simply flip the model on an existing Cara‑3 custom avatar to inherit Cara‑4 behavior. Options: • Recreate the custom avatar as a Cara‑4 avatar in Anam Lab (recommended) so it gets Cara‑4 improvements. Then use the new 
avatarId
and set 
avatarModel="cara-4-latest"
in 
persona_config
. • If you need to preserve the exact custom appearance/asset, export any available avatar assets from Anam Lab (if the Lab supports export) and re-import or rebuild them for Cara‑4, then create a new Cara‑4 avatar. • For temporary use, you can run the Cara‑3 custom avatar while setting 
avatarModel="cara-4-latest"
, but it will still behave as the Cara‑3 asset — full Cara‑4 behavior/features won’t apply. Tell me if you want: • A step‑by‑step to recreate the avatar in Anam Lab as Cara‑4, or • Code to switch to a newly created Cara‑4 avatarId in your Python session., with interactive elements
e
Code to switch to a newly created Cara‑4 avatarId in your Python session.
t
Below is a concise Python example that replaces an existing avatar (Cara‑3) with a newly created Cara‑4 avatarId and starts the Anam AvatarSession. It shows stopping any previous avatar session, creating the new session with 
avatarModel="cara-4-latest"
, and starting it in your LiveKit agent/session.
Copy code
from livekit.plugins import anam

# If you have an existing avatar session, stop it first
if existing_avatar_session is not None:
    await existing_avatar_session.stop()

# New Cara-4 avatar ID (replace with your newly created Cara-4 avatarId)
new_avatar_id = "NEW-CARA4-AVATAR-ID"

# Create AvatarSession using the Cara-4 model
avatar = anam.AvatarSession(
    persona_config=anam.PersonaConfig(
        name="cara4",
        avatarId=new_avatar_id,
        avatarModel="cara-4-latest",
    ),
)

# Start the new avatar session and attach it to the same agent/session/room
await avatar.start(session, room=ctx.room)

# If you need to publish the avatar's media tracks as participant "cara4",
# ensure your participant join/publish uses that identity (example depends on your room API).
Notes: • Replace 
"NEW-CARA4-AVATAR-ID"
with the Cara‑4 avatarId you created in Anam Lab. • Ensure you call 
await existing_avatar_session.stop()
before starting the new session to avoid duplicate participants/tracks. • If you want the LiveKit participant identity to be exactly "cara4", use that identity when joining/publishing in your room code — tell me your join/publish code and I’ll give the exact snippet., with interactive elements
