Creating a Project

Available to all our customers are the latest HumanOS2.6 Digital People. If you have built your own Custom Digital People, they will also be available to you.

If you would like to use any of the Digital Persons as a starting point and change the look, click on the 3 dots within the profile picture and select Collect Digital DNA. This gives you the unique blend used to create this Digital Person in an encoded format (a.k.a Digital DNA). Copy the DNA and save it in your preferred text editor.

To continue working on the Digital Person, use the Loading Digital DNA feature of the Digital DNA Blender.

Some of the behavior options in Digital DNA studio are dependent on Human OS versions, and languages. Refer to the Feature Matrixarchived and Features Supported on Languages for details.

Other behavioral settings

Boost expressiveness with additional iconic gestures - You can choose whether or not to automatically insert additional gestures. Turning this on will create a more expressive digital person. If you want a digital person to show less hand gestures you can turn this toggle off.

Enable Digital Person Greeting at the start - This option makes your Digital Person greet users as it starts up to provide them with a verbal cue that the interaction has commenced. This setting is enabled by default.

End Session Timeout - This option makes your Digital Person automatically end the conversation session with the user, after a specified period of inactivity from the user side, e.g. after 5 minutes. This setting is enabled by default.

React to negative facial expressions - You can choose whether or not to allow your digital person to respond to users' negative facial expressions.

React to negative speech - You can choose whether or not to allow your digital person to respond to users' negative speech.
