Preset Project Templates allow you to get started quickly with a pre-configured project built around a particular use case.
The Preview link will launch the Digital Person in another tab, letting you interact with the role and observe the experience before choosing the template for your project.
The Customise button opens the project form allowing you to make edits to the template just like you would when you create a project. Once the form is edited and saved a new project is created under My projects.
You can learn more about each Preset Project Template here:

This section explains how to create a Digital Person experience. The preview in the right pane will show you the changes that have been applied, allowing you to test each configuration before deploying the project. Finally, when you are satisfied with your Digital Person, deploy it, and share the URL with the end-users.
Please note: Every time you make a change to the configuration, you must click Update Preview on the Preview window to incorporate the changes into the preview DP’s behavior. |
The preview pane on the right hand side is a handy tool to test your configurations allowing you to fine tune your Digital Person. Use the text box to write your own sample script and test the voice and behaviour settings. Here’s a list of features you can test in the preview:
Changing avatar
Changing conversational content and Skills
Changing TTS/voice
Changing camera
Changing behaviour/personality
Every time you change one of those settings, click Update Preview on the Preview window to incorporate the changes into the preview DP’s behavior.
To show the text box and insert your own text that the DP can repeat:
Open the text entry window
Then type in a test sentence and click Repeat.

By default Soul Machines Digital People are connected to GPT from OpenAI, but you can replace their conversational content to connect with your chosen provider by choosing “Replace conversation” from the UI.
We offer several options of prebuilt integrations as shown here:
If you already have conversational content in one of these providers, you can connect it here.
We also offer more advanced connections via our /wiki/spaces/~5a4d740dfed274297effe5c2/pages/1526272285 and our /wiki/spaces/~5a4d740dfed274297effe5c2/pages/1526276314 pathway.
Skills are modular components that can be added to the Digital Person to enhance their conversation capabilities. See /wiki/spaces/~5a4d740dfed274297effe5c2/pages/1526272285 for detailed information on adding and managing Skills.
