Understand how to configure, personalise, and deploy Rapport projects — from Application Type and template selection to characters, voices, AI services, and embedding or hosting options.
Summary
Summary: Project Setup
What Project Setup Is
Project Setup is where you configure, personalise, and prepare your Rapport experience for deployment.
This section mirrors the left-hand Project Setup menu in Rapport Studio — guiding you step by step through the settings that shape how your character looks, sounds, behaves, and is delivered.
Most projects begin from a template or the Developer card, giving you a fully working interaction immediately. Templates automatically apply compatible defaults for character, AI, language, and voice — so you can interact first and customise later.
Every project is also defined by an Application Type, which determines how your experience is delivered:
Web Page — a hosted experience you can share instantly
Web Widget — an embeddable version for your website
Unreal or Unity integration — for immersive 3D applications
From there, Project Setup lets you refine and customise every detail.
What You Configure in Project Setup
From this area, you control the core elements of your experience:
Character — the visual identity of your AI experience
Language & Voice — how users speak to the character and how it responds
AI Services — the models that power conversation logic
STT & TTS Services — speech recognition and voice synthesis (managed via Advanced Settings when needed)
Appearance & Interaction — branding, background, start messages, and controls
Sharing & Integration — how your experience is hosted, embedded, or deployed
All AI and speech services can use Rapport’s built-in defaults (Rapport Services) or custom credentials via My Services (managed by Workspace Admins).
