Web SDK

​

Installation

Install the SDK with npm:

npm install @millisai/web-sdk

​

Usage

Here’s how to quickly set up a voice agent in your web application:

​

1. Import the SDK:

import Millis from '@millisai/web-sdk';

​

2. Initialize the Client:

const msClient = Millis.createClient({publicKey: 'your_public_key', endPoint?: 'region-based-endpoint'});

Obtain your public key from your Millis AI Playground

​

3. Start a Conversation:

Starting from version 1.0.15, use the following format to initiate a call:

msClient.start({
  agent: {
    agent_id: agentId,          // Optionally pass agent_id
    agent_config: {}            // Optionally pass agent_config
  },
  metadata: {},                 // Optional metadata for personalized context
  include_metadata_in_prompt: true/false,  // Optional flag to include metadata in prompt
  session_continuation: { // Optional session ID for continuation
    session_id: "<previous session id>"
  }
});

​

Using a Predefined Agent

First, create a voice agent from the Playground. Then, start a conversation with your agent using the following code:

msClient.start({
  agent: {
    agent_id: <agent-id>
  }
});

Replace agent-id with the ID of your agent obtained from the Playground.

The metadata is optional. You can pass any additional data to the session, which we will forward to your custom LLM and function webhooks. If you provide metadata, you can make it available to the agent by setting include_metadata_in_prompt to true. This will include the metadata in the agent’s system prompt, allowing the agent to use the data during the conversation.

​

Dynamically Creating a Temporary Voice Agent

You can also dynamically create a temporary voice agent with custom configurations using the code below:

msClient.start({
  agent: {
    agent_config: {
      prompt: "You're a helpful assistant.", // Example prompt
      voice: {
        provider: "elevenlabs", // Voice provider
        voice_id: "voice-id" // Replace 'voice-id' with the ID of the desired voice
      },
      language: "<language_code>", // optional - use language code such as en, es
      tools: [
        {
          name: "get_user_data",
          description: "",
          webhook: "https://...",
          header: {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "Authorization": ""
          },
          params: [
            {
              name: "",
              type: "string" | "number" | "boolean",
              description: "",
              required: true
            }
          ]
        }
      ], // Replace with actual function calls you need
      custom_llm_websocket: "wss://...", // optional - enable custom llm
      llm: "", // optional - choose llm model. Ex: gpt-4o, llama-3-70b
    }
  }
});

To obtain the voice_id, use this API to acquire the complete list of voices: https://api-west.millis.ai:8080/voices

​

Overriding Agent configuration

When both agent_id and agent_config are provided, the session will use the configuration associated with agent_id but will override it with any settings provided in agent_config. This option allows for minor modifications to the agent’s default configuration on a per-session basis.

​

Additional Parameters

Metadata

• metadata: Optional field to pass any additional information that may personalize the conversation. It can be used by the agent if include_metadata_in_prompt is set to true.

Including Metadata in Prompt

• include_metadata_in_prompt: Boolean flag (true or false). If true, the metadata provided will be included in the prompt to give context to the agent.

Session Continuation

• session_continuation: Provide session_id from a previous session to enable continuity in conversation. This allows the agent to reference previous interactions.

​

4. Stop a Conversation:

msClient.stop();

​

5. Setup event listener:

    msClient.on("onopen", () => {
      // When the client connected to the server
    });

    msClient.on("onready", () => {
      // When the conversation is ready
    });

    msClient.on("onaudio", (audio: Uint8Array) => {
      // Incoming audio chunk
    });

    msClient.on("analyzer", (analyzer: AnalyserNode) => {
      // AnalyserNode that you can use for audio animation
    });

    msClient.on("onclose", (event) => {
      // When the connection is closed
    });

    msClient.on("onerror", (error) => {
      // An error occurred
    });
