Basic Usage - Chat with the Animaze AI Avatar

Skip to:


Intro

You can easily add an AI Brain to your favorite avatar with the Animaze ChatPal feature. All VTuber-ready or face-tracking compliant avatars can become AI Agents or AI Sidekicks.

Imagine the incredible opportunities this brings: learning fascinating new things, receiving tutoring on a variety of subjects, crafting engaging video scripts, watching your sidekick bring those scripts to life, letting your sidekick interact with your Twitch chat, and even getting an endless supply of hilarious jokes for your audience. The possibilities truly know no bounds!

 

Avatar creators, you can use your VTuber assets pipelines to create avatars for Animaze ChatPal/AI Agents. Start your assets creation journey from here.

 

Animaze ChatPal uses OpenAI API for the language model, which requires your API key (a simple step-by-step guide is present in-app on how to obtain the key). The API usage limits and rates fall under OpenAI terms of use. You can check: OpenAI Platform

  4. ChatPal can be further customized through a configuration file, that is detailed here. This is for the tinkerers and advanced users.

  5. additionally, the animation responses on the Avatar can also be customized through a dedicated config file that is detailed here. This is for the tinkerers and advanced users that want to further tweak the AI Sidekick or Agent.
