Short answer

How can I make an AI avatar talk using my agent?

You give your agent a script or an audio file, and it uses D-ID to create a video of a digital human with matching lip movements. You'll get finished video clips ready to use.

Video outcomes

What your agent produces.

The specific assets your agent creates through D-ID.

VIDEO

Lip-synced avatars

The AI generates a video where the digital human's mouth movements match your input. You get a complete video file.

AUDIO

Voiceover files

If you only need speech, the AI can generate audio from your text. This lets you hear the voice before making the video.

ASSETS

Managed clips

Your agent can track and find video clips it has already made. This keeps your previous work organized and easy to find.

HUMAN

Creative direction

The AI handles the technical rendering, but you must review the final video. You decide if the avatar's expression looks right.

The workflow

What your AI does when the script arrives.

Your agent handles the technical steps to turn your text or audio into a finished video.

  1. Prepare audio

    The AI converts your text into a spoken audio file to prepare for the animation process.

    create_talk_audio

  2. Animate avatar

    Your agent sends the script or audio to D-ID to generate the lip-synced digital human.

    create_talk

  3. Check status

    Because video takes time to render, the AI checks the progress of the generation task.

    get_talk

  4. Fetch video

    Once the rendering is complete, the AI retrieves the final video clip for you.

    get_clip

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change the avatar's appearance?

    No. The AI can only trigger the generation of an avatar. It cannot modify the physical features or clothing of the digital human.

  • 02

    Can I use my own voice?

    Yes. If you provide an audio file to your agent, it can use that specific audio to drive the lip-syncing.

  • 03

    Can the AI upload the video to YouTube?

    No. The AI only creates and retrieves the video clips. You have to handle the actual uploading and posting yourself.

  • 04

    Does the AI delete my old videos?

    No. The AI only interacts with the clips through specific tools; it does not have the ability to delete your existing library.

  • 05

    Can I generate a video from a website link?

    No. You must provide the text or the audio file directly to the agent to start the process.
