External services
io) to enable AI-powered video chat functionality.
What services are used and why
-
js): This external JavaScript file is loaded to display the video chat bot widget on your website. It is required for the widget to function.
-
io/v1/realtime/client_secrets): The plugin connects to this API endpoint to obtain temporary ephemeral keys (client secrets) that allow end users to establish secure chat sessions with the AI video avatar.
What data is sent and when
-
API Key: Your rtAV platform API key is sent to the API service each time a user opens the chat widget to authenticate and obtain a temporary session key. This happens automatically when the widget is initialized.
-
Session Configuration: When requesting a client secret, the plugin sends your configured session settings (AI model, instructions, avatar settings) to create a personalized chat session.
-
User Chat Data: Once a chat session is established, user messages and interactions are sent directly to rtAV’s service for AI processing and video avatar generation. This data is transmitted in real-time during active chat sessions.
