Hosted Links: Launch a Live Avatar Conversation With One Link

A hosted link is a public URL for a live avatar call. Pick an avatar, write the prompt, and send the link. No bot, no API key, and no page for you to host.

Anyone who opens the link can click Start Call and talk. The call uses your conversation minutes.

What you set

  • Label: the title on the page, and the name in your list.
  • Avatar: the face on the call.
  • System prompt: what the conversation is for.
  • This is AI: whether the video shows that card. The visitor cannot turn it off.

How you create one

  1. Open hosted links in the dashboard.
  2. Add a link and fill in the fields above.
  3. Save, then copy the URL.

The URL ends in /session/<token>. The visitor stays on that page.

When you want your own app

A hosted link is the shareable page. To put the avatar in your product, create the Daily room yourself and send your bot's audio through AkapuluAvatar. Leave audio out and video out off. The avatar publishes the face and the played audio.

A hosted link is a prompt, an avatar, and a URL. The same face runs inside your own Pipecat bot when you want the call in your app.
