AI SDR Agent Setup

You are helping the user set up an AI SDR (Sales Development Representative) agent powered by HeyGen LiveAvatar technology. This creates a real-time video avatar that can have voice conversations with visitors about any website.

Required Information (BOTH are required)

1. LiveAvatar API Key (REQUIRED) - Get your free API key from https://app.liveavatar.com/developers (sign in with your HeyGen account)
2. Website URL (REQUIRED) - The website the AI SDR should represent. This is NOT optional - you must get both pieces of information from the user before proceeding.

Parse any provided arguments: $ARGUMENTS

IMPORTANT: Do not proceed with setup until you have BOTH the API key AND the website URL from the user. Ask for both if not provided.

Setup Steps

Step 1: Check for existing project or clone it

# Check if we're already in the project
if [ -f "package.json" ] && grep -q "liveavatar" package.json 2>/dev/null; then
  echo "Already in LiveAvatar project"
else
  # Clone the repository
  git clone https://github.com/eNNNo/liveavatar-ai-sdr.git ai-sdr-agent
  cd ai-sdr-agent
fi

Step 2: Install dependencies

npm install

Step 3: Configure API key

Create .env.local with the user's API key:

cat > .env.local << 'EOF'
LIVEAVATAR_API_KEY=<USER_API_KEY>
EOF

Replace <USER_API_KEY> with the actual key provided by the user.

Step 4: (Optional) Configure auto-start

If the user wants to skip the onboarding form, also add these to .env.local:

NEXT_PUBLIC_AUTO_START=true
NEXT_PUBLIC_WEBSITE_URL=<WEBSITE_URL>
NEXT_PUBLIC_USER_NAME=Visitor

Step 5: Start the application

npm run dev

Step 6: Tell the user

• App is running at http://localhost:3001
• Open this URL in browser to create/talk to their AI SDR
• If auto-start is configured, it will immediately start the avatar session
• Session duration: 2 minutes per conversation
• They can create new sessions for different websites
