## What You'll Build

With AIVAH, you can create AI agents that:

* **Engage Visually**: 3D avatar agents and 2D image-based Characters in immersive scenes
* **Communicate Naturally**: Text chat, real-time voice, and a fully animated avatar chat
* **Remember Context**: Persistent long-term memory across every conversation and channel
* **Integrate Everywhere**: Connect to popular tools via MCP, Slack, WhatsApp, and telephony
* **Generate Productivity Assets**: Turn knowledge into slide decks, podcasts, and mind maps
* **Handle Calls**: Bring your own Twilio number for inbound and outbound voice
* **Share Easily**: Publish a public link with a built-in lead capture form

## Platform Capabilities

### Avatar, Characters, and Voices

Give your agent a face and a voice:

* **3D Avatars**: Realistic, animated companions powered by Ready Player Me models
* **Characters**: Lightweight image-based personas (upload a photo, crop, and chat)
* **Voices**: Aivah's built-in voice library plus your own **voice clones** from a short reference recording

### Agents

Build intelligent agents tailored to your use case:

* **Knowledge-base Agents** combine documents, URLs, text, audio, video, and images
* **Presenter Agents** turn a single PDF or video into a guided, slide-aligned experience with built-in **Quiz** support
* Per-source ingestion status with retry on a single failing item
* Live training status that polls automatically while content is being indexed

### Playground (Hub)

The chat workspace ships in three related modes:

* **New chat** — pick agent, model, voice, and avatar, then send your first message
* **Text chat** — classic message thread with file attach and image generation
* **Avatar chat** — live 3D avatar that lip-syncs, reacts, and speaks in real time

A floating productivity toolbar surfaces the **Quiz**, **Mind map**, and **Podcast player** for the active conversation.

### Productivity – Slides, Podcasts, Mind maps

Turn an agent's knowledge into ready-to-use assets:

* **Slide decks** with configurable style (Academic, Doraemon, Custom) and length (Short 5–8, Medium 8–12, Long 12–15)
* **Podcasts** with selectable host and expert voices, Short / Default / Longer pacing, and an optional Focus prompt
* **Mind maps** that open as an interactive overlay during avatar chat

### Realtime Media Studio

Generate rich media in seconds directly from the chat composer:

* Create images and transform them into videos with a single prompt
* Backed by Google Nano Banana, Veo 3.1, and Sora 2 for high-fidelity visuals
* Every asset auto-saves to **AI Drive** for download, sharing, or reuse

### Share & Deploy

Multiple deployment options for your agents:

* **Direct Links**: Instant access URLs
* **iFrame Embeds**: Website integration
* **Chat Bubbles**: Non-intrusive website assistance
* **Lead Capture Form**: Built-in form with reorderable, required/optional fields

### Integrations

Connect with your existing workflow:

* **MCP Tools** (Composio): One-click OAuth connectors for Gmail, Calendar, Notion, Linear, Slack, GitHub and many more
* **Telephony**: Bring your own Twilio number (with optional SIP trunk) for inbound and outbound calls
* **Channels**: Native **Slack** (App Manifest + bot token + signing secret) and **WhatsApp** (QR pairing) connectors
* **Manage Memory**: View, edit, and export everything your agent has learned
* **Tasks**: Cron jobs and heartbeat monitors created by you or your agent
* **AI Drive**: Central gallery for all generated images, videos, slides, documents, and web results
