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.
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).
