# LiveKit Integration

> Add Anam avatars to LiveKit agent applications

The Anam LiveKit plugin adds a visual avatar face to your LiveKit voice agents. Combine Anam's avatar technology with any STT, LLM, or TTS — including OpenAI Realtime, Gemini Live, or your own custom models.

## How it works

LiveKit uses a room-based architecture. Human users and AI agents both connect to rooms as participants. Anam plugs into this as a video layer:

```
User Input (Voice/Video)
    ↓
LiveKit Room (Real-time Communication)
    ↓
Your LLM (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, etc.)
    ↓
Text Response → Anam Avatar (TTS + Video)
    ↓
User sees and hears the avatar
```

The Anam plugin listens to the audio being sent to users and generates a synchronized video stream of the avatar speaking. The video is published to the room as a separate track that clients display.

<Tip>
  **Bring Your Own LLM**: Anam handles only the visual avatar. You choose the ears, intelligence, and voice — whether that's DeepGram, ElevenLabs, Cartesia, OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, or a custom model.
