What Project Setup Is
Project Setup is where you configure and customise your Rapport experience.
This section mirrors the left-hand Project Setup menu in Rapport Studio, guiding you through the settings used to build, personalise, and share your project.
Every project begins by choosing an Application Type, which determines how your experience will be delivered. For example, you might create:
a Web Page — a hosted experience that can be shared instantly
a Web Widget — an embeddable version for your website
an Unreal or Unity integration — for interactive 3D applications
From there, Project Setup allows you to configure every part of your experience, including:
Characters – 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
STT & TTS Services – speech recognition and voice synthesis
Appearance & Interaction – branding, background, start messages, and controls
Sharing & Integration – how your experience is deployed or embedded
Most projects start from a template or preconfigured setup, allowing you to experience a fully working interaction immediately. You can then adjust settings using the Project Setup menu.
How to Use This Section
Each page in this section corresponds to a menu item in the Project Setup panel. You can follow the pages in order to understand the full workflow, or jump directly to the feature you want to explore.
💡 Tip: If you're creating your first project, start with the Quick Start Guide. Once you have a project running, return here to explore each setting in more detail.
