Left Menu: Your Control Hub
The left-hand menu in Rapport’s Project Setup interface is your central control hub. Whether you're customizing voice settings, adding characters, or configuring integrations, this menu gives you streamlined access to every core function
Menu Layout Highlights
The left-hand menu in Rapport is divided into two sections—Core Setup and Visual & Behaviour Customization—to streamline your project-building workflow.
Top Section (Above the Divider): Core Project Setup
These options help you define how your AI experience works:
Project Setup – Name your project and choose a pre-configured template to jumpstart your experience.
Character – Select a character from your workspace or the public library, or create a custom one.
Language – Set the spoken language for your session. This influences both voice and STT provider selection.
Voice – Choose from filtered voice options based on your selected language. You can also use a custom voice via Advanced Settings.
AI Settings – Select your AI provider, model, and prompt. Use advanced options to customise temperature, tokens, or credentials.
Bottom Section (Below the Divider): Layout, Branding, and Controls
These tools let you fine-tune the visual appearance and interaction behaviour of your experience:
Start Message – Set the opening line your character will say to begin a session. Supports plain text, scripts, or audio assets.
Logo (Web Page only) – Upload a custom logo for your experience, replacing the default Rapport logo.
Background – Choose a colour, gradient, or image background to match your brand.
Theme (Web Page only) – Define the visual theme and chat UI (font, colour, etc.) for the demo page.
Controls – Enable or disable features such as chat log visibility, push-to-talk, or social sharing. For Web Widgets, only the "Powered by Rapport" option is available here.
Advanced Settings – Access low-level configuration for:
STT (Speech-to-Text) provider and credentials
TTS (Text-to-Speech) provider and custom voices
AI model credentials and parameters
Translation and developer options
Advanced Settings stay tucked away in case you need full control. For most users, the main menu is all you’ll need to launch successfully.
