### Get ready to create your own experiences with Virtual Interactive Personalities!

On the 1st of July 2024, Rapport will be releasing its new self-service platform allowing users to create, animate, and deploy their own Virtual Interactive Personalities in a matter of minutes! [Sign up for the waiting list](https://accounts.rapport.cloud/workspace/default?sign-up=true&templates=true) to be the first to try it for free!

### Avatars for Everyone

The new Rapport self-service platform makes it easy for anyone to mix and match all of the components necessary to deliver meaningful character interactions, that can be deployed easily on a webpage (or anywhere else!) in just a few clicks.

The platform will guide users through a step-by-step process to:

- **Choose a character -** Select from a diverse library of existing characters or create their own using [Ready Player Me](https://readyplayer.me/ "Opens in new tab")
- **Select a “brain” -** Insert one of the major AI providers such as ChatGPT, Azure, or Gemini. Users can use an open-ended AI or prompt it themselves  
- **Pick a voice** **-** Integrations with all the major text-to-speech providers mean thousands of choices for voices, in any language
- **Animate a character -** Rapport uses [Speech Graphics](https://www.speech-graphics.com/ "Opens in new tab")’ best-in-class audio-driven facial animation technology to drive realistic lip sync
- **Publish and share! -** Once a character is built users can deploy it anywhere by adding a tiny snippet of code

### Start Building Rapport

Combining AIs, large language models, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and other technologies may seem daunting. That is why the Rapport platform comes with a number of pre-configured templates to help users get up and running in no time. Users can either build a custom experience from scratch or pick from a number of different conversational models or one-way communication methods.

### Build a Custom Experience

- **Start from scratch -** The ultimate flexibility for users to assemble LLMs or preconfigured chatbots with text-to-speech or prerecorded audio files and speech recognition providers

### Conversation Model Templates

- **Generative AI Conversations -** An interactive experience that uses large language models to automatically generate responses from the character, preconfigured with OpenAI
- **AI Assistant -** A personalised AI assistant configured using the OpenAI Assistants API. Set instructions and leverage models, tools, and files to respond to user queries
- **Chatbot Conversation -** A structured conversation that can respond with an AI-generated voice or pre-recorded audio. Pre-configured with Amazon Lex Demo

### One-way communication

- **Pre-recorded Audio Performer -** Use pre-recorded audio to animate the delivery of a variety of predefined content. Say exactly what you want to say, HOW YOU want to say it
- **Script performer -** like pre-recorded Audio Performer, but using text-to-speech. Save those vocal chords!

The Rapport self-service platform is easy and intuitive to support clients in creating and enabling different use cases. To date, we’ve seen a tremendous impact on immersive learning, and opportunities flourish in sales, marketing, service, and entertainment.

### Best in Class Animation

At the heart of Rapport’s technology is [Speech Graphics](https://www.speech-graphics.com/facial-animation-and-lip-sync-products "Opens in new tab")’ audio-driven facial animation, tried and tested in the video games industry. Unlike other solutions, Speech Graphics uses detailed muscle maps for extremely accurate real-time lip-sync, which accelerates the suspension of disbelief and allows those interacting to connect with the character much more readily.

### Rapport Packages

The Rapport platform will offer access to sign up and get started for free and offer scalable paid-for packages to suit the needs of any business or individual. Users will be able to manage their accounts and process payments online.
