Project Setup: Application types - Web Page vs Web Widget

When creating a project, one of the first choices you’ll make is the Application Type — how your experience will be delivered to users.

Rapport currently supports four main types: Web Page, Web Widget, Unreal Plugin, and Unity Plugin (coming soon).

Web Page

What:
Standalone hosted experience managed by Rapport.

UX:
Users visit a dedicated web page to interact with your character in a self-contained environment.

Customisation:
Design everything inside Rapport Studio — layout, background, branding, behaviour, and user controls.

Integration:
None required. Simply share the hosted link to let users access your experience instantly.

Best for:
Fast demos, pilots, public showcases, or shareable interactive experiences.

Web Widget

What:
Embeddable component you can place within an existing website or application.

UX:
Users interact with your character while staying inside your site’s environment.

Customisation:
Interaction logic is configured in Rapport Studio; placement and framing are controlled by your developers.

Integration:
Add a small embed code snippet to your host page or web app.

Best for:
Embedding AI-driven characters directly into websites, customer portals, or product experiences.

Unreal Plugin

What:
Integration for Unreal Engine, enabling Rapport’s AI, voice, and facial animation inside real-time 3D projects.

UX:
Users engage with fully animated, responsive characters in immersive simulations, games, or VR environments.

Customisation:
Developers control the 3D scene, lighting, and interaction logic while Rapport handles AI conversation and animation synchronisation.

Integration:
Use the Rapport Unreal Plugin to link Unreal projects with Rapport’s runtime services.

Best for:
Training simulations, interactive storytelling, and high-fidelity 3D experiences.
