Project Setup: AI

AI Settings in Rapport

Power your characters with AI that matches your goals—from fast-start templates to fully custom configurations.

Rapport supports a wide range of AI integrations including Generative AI, Chatbots, Assistants, and more. Whether you want quick results with prebuilt setups or fine-tuned control over model behaviour, Rapport’s AI system adapts to your needs.

Quick AI Setup: Recommended Options

When you open the AI menu in your Project Setup screen, you'll see a list of pre-configured options ready for use:

• Gemini

• ChatGPT (OpenAI)

• Groq

Each comes with:

• A default model

• A pre-set prompt

• Predefined behaviour settings

Ideal for getting started immediately—no configuration needed.

Creating a Custom AI

Want more control? Click Custom AI in the AI menu to enter Advanced Settings, where you can configure:

1. AI Provider – OpenAI, Gemini, or Groq

2. Credentials – Use Rapport’s default or enter your own

3. Model – Select from dropdown or manually input a model name

4. Prompt – Define your AI’s tone, personality, and behaviour

5. Advanced Settings – Tweak temperature, top-p, token limits, and more

Your custom AI will appear in the AI menu on the Project Setup screen. Click the expand icon in the top-right corner of the panel to view or update your configuration.

Choosing an AI Type

Rapport supports several AI types. Selecting a different AI Type from the dropdown in Advanced Settings reveals specific configuration fields tailored to that choice.

Language & Voice Integration

When using Generative AI types, language and voice selection are tightly integrated:

• Language: Set the input/output language

  • Rapport will auto-select the best Speech-to-Text (STT) provider using the following priority:

    Whisper > Azure > Google > AWS

• Voice: Select from matching Text-to-Speech (TTS) options

  • Multilingual voices are included when available

  • Different voices let you localize tone or simulate accents

    e.g., a character can speak English with a French accent using the right voice.

To override provider selection for STT or TTS, visit the Advanced Settings > STT/TTS section.
