New Features¶

bitHuman Integration¶

bitHuman creates digital avatars with lip-sync at 25 FPS, supports animated characters, and runs on CPU with <100ms latency.

import (
    "github.com/plexusone/omni-livekit/avatar"
    _ "github.com/plexusone/omni-livekit/avatar/bithuman" // Auto-register
)

session, err := avatar.CreateSession(avatar.Config{
    Provider: avatar.ProviderBitHuman,
    BitHuman: avatar.BitHumanConfig{
        APIKey:  os.Getenv("BITHUMAN_API_KEY"),
        AgentID: "your-agent-id",
    },
})

Provider Factory¶

The new factory pattern allows provider-agnostic session creation:

// Providers auto-register via init()
import (
    _ "github.com/plexusone/omni-livekit/avatar/tavus"
    _ "github.com/plexusone/omni-livekit/avatar/bithuman"
)

// Create session by provider name
session, err := avatar.CreateSession(cfg)

Agent Room Access¶

The Agent.Room() method now exposes the underlying LiveKit room for avatar session integration:

agent := livekitagent.NewAgent(...)
room := agent.Room() // For avatar session setup
