## Interactive Avatar FAQs

### **What can I create using Interactive Avatars?**

Interactive Avatars can power conversational experiences across products, websites, internal tools, training flows, support journeys, kiosks, and any other use case where a real-time, human face makes the interaction better.

### **Can I bring my own LLM?**

Yes. Interactive Avatars is designed for teams that want to connect their own LLM, agent, or conversational logic and use Synthesia to power the avatar layer. You keep full control of the conversation; we handle the face.

### **How does the integration work?**

The Synthesia Interactive Avatar is a plugin component you attach to your LiveKit Agent. Your agent produces speech the way it always does. The component routes that audio to the hosted avatar worker, which renders an expressive Interactive Avatar and publishes it to your LiveKit room as a regular participant. No changes to your frontend are needed.

### **Is this a public API?**

Yes. Interactive Avatars is now generally available. Anyone with a Synthesia API key can get started using the developer documentation.

### **How do I get access?**

[Create an API key](https://app.synthesia.io/#/developers?developer=1) in your Synthesia workspace, install the LiveKit plugin, and [follow our quickstart](https://github.com/synthesia-ai/interactive-avatar-quickstarts) to begin building.

### **What are the current limitations?**

The plugin currently supports Python LiveKit Agents only. We're continuing to improve expressiveness, listening behaviors, interruption handling, and latency, and will share updates soon.
