AI Avatar Creation and Management

Overview

Imagine having a helpful assistant who knows exactly how you teach and can help your students anytime, day or night. That's what we're creating here! It's like training a very smart helper who can explain things just like you do.

What Can Your AI Avatar Do?

• Acts as an AI agent that remembers everything you teach it

• Talks to students in your style

• Can help in different languages

• Gets smarter and better at helping over time

Creating Your AI Avatar

What You'll Need

• Your VEGA account (your key to creating an AI Avatar)

• Your teaching materials (anything you use to teach)

• An idea of how you want your AI Avatar to help students

Avatar Configuration

1. Naming Your AI Avatar

Your AI agent needs a name students will remember. It comes with the name "Mia", but you can change it to anything you like - just as you'd name a new teaching assistant.

Choose a name for your AI avatar that will be visible to students in your branded environment. Default name is Mia.

Choose a professional, friendly name that reflects your brand

Keep it simple and memorable.

Think about names like:

• "Prof. Sarah AI"

• "AI Tutor Tom"

• "Math Maven Max"

2. Giving Your AI Avatar a Face

Choose how your AI Avatar will look to students when they interact with it - like picking a profile picture that represents you professionally.

Keep it simple:

• Use a clear picture

• Keep the file size small

• Choose something welcoming and professional

• Choose an image that represents your teaching brand

• Recommended specifications:

  • Format: JPG, PNG

  • Resolution: Minimum 50x50 pixels

3. Teaching Your AI Avatar How to Help

This is where you teach your AI agent how to interact with students. Think of it like training a new assistant to handle questions your way.

• Response Style Configuration

  • Define how your avatar should respond to students.

  • Provide detailed instructions for your AI avatar, such as its backstory, expertise, response style, and any additional guidelines you find essential.

Example format:

"You are an amazing, encouraging, empathetic tutor. You are helping students with their queries. Keep your tone friendly, funny and encouraging and use emojis while responding. Be patient and encouraging, break down complex ideas into simple steps, and celebrate student progress!"

4. Creating Your AI Avatar's Welcome Message

This is your AI Avatar's introduction to students - make it friendly and helpful.

• Create an engaging welcome message

• Include:

  • Friendly greeting

  • Clear introduction
