Agentic Avatars SDK

@kaltura/intelligent-agents

A zero-dependency JavaScript SDK for building and operating Kaltura Agentic Avatars: Kaltura's conversational agents with a visual, human-like avatar interface.

Build with Claude Code

Install the plugin, then ask Claude Code to add a Kaltura avatar to your app. Other agents and full steps.

/plugin marketplace add kaltura/intelligent-agents-sdk
/plugin install kaltura-app-builder@kaltura-agents

Meet Nova

Nova is a live Kaltura Agentic Avatar, provisioned with this SDK's own Management API and grounded on this site's own documentation. She knows every page here. Ask her what the SDK does, whether it fits your use case, or which page to read next. She'll take you there herself.

Try asking:

Two entry points, plus optional plugin subpaths that don't bloat the base runtime:

./management: provision, configure, and measure agents (server-side)
./experience: the live interactive runtime, a socket connection plus WHEP video streaming (browser)
./experience/presenter: the Presenter deck-walkthrough plugin
./experience/site-nav: SiteNavigator, which moves the visitor to the page and section the agent names (one go_to tool)
./experience/genui: renders GenUI widgets, on-screen UI elements the agent can generate, using ExperienceRenderer/mountWidget
./experience/analytics: KavaAnalytics, client-only analytics events (KAVA)
./experience/noise-suppressor: a zero-dependency AudioWorklet noise gate
./experience/chroma-key: transparent-background avatar compositor (bring your own chroma-key-video)

One avatar, three flows

When someone talks with an Agentic Avatar, three flows run at once:

Conversation Control: turn-taking, interruptions, and real-time sync of speech, video, and language models
Agent Orchestration: knowledge grounding, tool calls, and expert-agent routing
Your Expertise: your knowledge bases, APIs, and models

Kaltura runs the first two the moment you connect. Yours plugs into the third. See how the flows fit together.

Why this SDK

Readable source, no build step. Raw ESM you can read line by line. Import it straight from a jsDelivr CDN URL pinned to a git tag. No install step, no bundler-only node_modules black box.
Zero runtime dependencies. No extra dependencies to audit for supply-chain risk.
Self-serve cloning. Voice and visual cloning are SDK calls, not a support ticket.
Security designed in. Pre-redacted audit events, short-lived tokens, and a NIST 800-53 control matrix. Built for enterprise, HIPAA, and HITRUST deployments from the start. Details: Security & Compliance.

Quick start in the browser

Once a tag is pinned, jsDelivr serves the SDK straight from GitHub. No npm install, no bundler:

<script type="module">
  import { KalturaAvatarSession } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/kaltura/intelligent-agents-sdk@v1.35.0/src/experience/index.js';

  const session = new KalturaAvatarSession({
    token,               // conversation KS, from your backend
    conversationManagerUrl, srsBaseUrl, turnServerUrl,  // from your backend's appInit response
    videoEl: document.querySelector('video'),
  });

  await session.connect();
</script>

Pin the tag for anything you ship. A pinned tag always serves the same code. See Getting Started for where token and the other connection values come from.
