Anam’s one-shot avatar generator creates a personalized avatar from a single photo. You can use any face — a real person, a stock photo, or an AI-generated image — and the system produces an avatar that can speak, express, and hold conversations.

​
Create in Anam Lab

1

Open the Build page

Go to lab.anam.ai/build and select the Avatar tab.
2

Add a new avatar

Click the Add button, then either upload a photo or capture one with your webcam. For best results, follow the best practices.
3

Generate

Click Create and wait for your avatar to be generated. Once ready, it’s available for use in any persona.

​
Create via API

For programmatic avatar creation, use the Create Avatar endpoint. This is useful for building custom onboarding flows or batch-creating avatars. 
const response = await fetch("https://api.anam.ai/v1/avatars", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    displayName: "My Custom Avatar",
    imageUrl: "https://example.com/photo.jpg",
  }),
});

​
Using your avatar

Once created, reference the avatar by its ID in your persona configuration: 
const personaConfig = {
  name: "My Persona",
  avatarId: "your-custom-avatar-id",
  voiceId: "6bfbe25a-979d-40f3-a92b-5394170af54b",
  llmId: "0934d97d-0c3a-4f33-91b0-5e136a0ef466",
  systemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant.",
};
You can find the avatar ID in Lab by clicking the three-dot menu on any avatar and selecting Copy ID.
