Realtime Interactive Presenter Agent

Create conversational presentations with a single uploaded document

Creating and Using Realtime Interactive Presenter Agents

Realtime Interactive Presenter Agents transform a single PDF deck (or a single video) into an interactive experience. Instead of clicking through slides, audiences can ask questions, jump to chapters, take a built-in Quiz, and get tailored explanations in real time.

What Makes a Presenter Agent Different?

• Single document focus – One uploaded PDF or video anchors the entire conversation.
• Guided navigation – Users can request summaries, ask for the next slide, or revisit earlier sections.
• Context awareness – The agent understands slide order and their relationships, keeping answers on-track.
• Built-in Quiz – Multiple-choice questions defined for the presenter agent are exposed as a floating Quiz overlay in Avatar chat.
• Always on-brand – Deliver consistent demos and trainings without relying on a live presenter.

Conversational Slides

Navigate decks through natural language instead of manual slide controls.

Instant Recaps

Generate quick summaries for any slide or section within the deck.

Audience Q&A

Field questions as they arise while staying grounded in the uploaded content.

Consistent Delivery

Keep messaging uniform across every presentation and channel.

Create a Realtime Interactive Presenter Agent

1. Open the Agents Workspace

   Navigate to Agents in the side navigation (/agents) and click the Plus (+) icon to open /agents/create.

2. Name and Configure

   1. Enter a descriptive name (e.g., “Product Demo Presenter”, “Compliance Training Deck”). The name becomes the slug (@product-demo-presenter).
   2. Turn the Presenter toggle on to switch from a knowledge-base agent to a presenter configuration.
   3. Write an Agent prompt and a Persona to set tone and behaviour.

   
3. Upload the Deck

   1. Open the Add document dropdown. For presenter agents you only see the Add PDF / Video option.
   2. Add your PDF (or a single video). Wait for the confirmation message: “Document uploaded successfully. Delete the existing document to upload a new one.”
   3. Click Create agent to publish.

   

   
4. Verify the Setup

   After creation, the document appears in Agent Settings with its processing status. Confirm a character count displays to ensure the deck is ready.

   

Presenter Agents support only one active document – a single PDF or a single video. Delete the existing file before uploading an updated version.

Optimize Your Presentation File

Document Checklist

• Export to PDF with selectable text (avoid image-only slides).
• Use clear slide titles and headings.
• Keep slide numbers visible for easy references.
• Ensure charts and visuals include captions or supporting text.

Storytelling Tips

• Group related slides together with consistent section titles.
• Add summary bullets to reinforce key takeaways.
• Include FAQs or objection-handling slides near the end.
• Provide links or appendices for deeper dives.

Manage Presenter Content

1. Access Agent Settings

   Open the Agents workspace, select your presenter agent, and view the Presentation panel.

2. Replace the Deck

   Delete the current file using the trash icon, then upload the new version.

3. Confirm Processing

   Wait for the processing banner to finish and verify the character count updates.

Presenter Agents do not accept additional knowledge sources. For multi-document experiences, create a knowledge-base agent instead (toggle Presenter off when creating the agent).

Using the Quiz Overlay

When you talk to a Presenter Agent in Avatar chat, a Quiz icon appears in the floating toolbar next to the chat composer. Click it to:

• Step through multiple-choice questions defined on the agent’s content
• Check answers without leaving the conversation
• Use the Hint button when stuck, then Next to progress
• Re-open the overlay any time during the session

The Quiz icon also appears next to qualifying agents in the Agents list (/agents) so you can preview the quiz outside of a live chat.

Delivering a Great Experience

• Rehearse navigation prompts so you know how the agent references each slide.
• Prepare likely questions and validate the responses stay aligned with your narrative.
• Pair with knowledge-base agents when you need deeper knowledge or integrations beyond the deck.
• Monitor Insights to see which slides and questions resonate most with audiences.

Troubleshooting

Upload stalls or fails

Confirm the PDF is not password-protected, stays under size limits, and contains selectable text.

Answers feel incomplete

Add supporting context or summary bullets to the relevant slides before re-uploading. The agent relies on the information in the document.

Need multiple documents

Create a knowledge-base agent instead (toggle Presenter off when creating), or link multiple presenter agents together using share links.
