Research & Clinical Interventions

Build and Deliver AI-Powered Virtual Human Interventions

BABY Platform lets researchers and clinicians design configurable virtual character conversations and deliver them to participants — no engineering team required.

What is the BABY Platform

Virtual humans, in your hands

Design rich conversational experiences with AI characters — scripted, open-ended, or patient-simulation — and deploy them to any participant with just a link.

Realistic Virtual Characters

Attach a 3D avatar to your scenario. Configure voice, mood, and persona to create a believable interaction your participants will remember.

AI-Driven Dialogue

Power conversations with large language models. Use your own API key, attach a knowledge base, and shape the character's responses with a system prompt.

Built for Research

Participant sessions are tracked and logged. Export conversation transcripts as JSON or PDF, and integrate with survey platforms like Qualtrics via URL parameters.

How It Works

From scenario to session in minutes

A straightforward workflow designed so that researchers can build and launch without writing code.

1

Design Your Scenario

Use the step-by-step scenario builder to configure your virtual character — name, gender, mood, voice, and 3D model — alongside the conversation style and AI model you want to use.

2

Author the Conversation

Choose scripted (node-graph), open-ended (LLM-driven), or patient-simulation mode with objective tracking. Upload a knowledge base or craft a system prompt.

3

Share With Participants

Send participants a direct URL — optionally with a study ID parameter. Their session is logged automatically and you can download transcripts at any time.

Inside the Builder

Everything you need, in one place

A guided, no-code builder walks you from character selection to live deployment in just a few steps.

Character picker
Step 1 — Character

Pick your virtual character

Browse or design photorealistic 3D avatars and filter by style. Your character's persona, voice, and mood are all configurable.

Conversation builder
Step 2 — Conversation

Design the conversation flow

Author your system prompt on the left, then build a branching node graph on the right — or let the LLM drive it freely.

Template picker
Step 3 — Template

Choose your interaction template

Chat panel view for a messaging-style experience, or character speaking view for a focused, immersive interaction.

See It In Action

What participants experience

Scenarios run in any browser, on any device — desktop, laptop, or mobile. No app installs, no friction.

Mobile fullscreen character
Mobile

Fullscreen on any device

Participants interact with the character in a clean fullscreen view — no clutter, just the conversation.

Patient simulation with objectives
Patient Simulation

Live objective tracking

Clinician training scenarios surface patient history and track learning objectives in real time alongside the chat.

Dual character scenario
Research

Multi-character scenarios

Deploy scenarios featuring multiple distinct virtual characters for richer, more complex research designs.

Features

Everything you need

Purpose-built for virtual human research, with the flexibility to fit your study design.

Scripted Node Graphs

Build branching dialogue trees with button and text input nodes.

Open-Ended Conversations

Let an LLM drive fully free-form dialogue with your character's persona.

Patient Simulation

Track clinical objectives in real time using AI function calling.

Knowledge Base Upload

Give your character context from documents via OpenAI vector stores.

Multiple TTS Providers

Choose from Google, ElevenLabs, or LemonFox for character voice.

Transcript Export

Download full conversation logs as JSON or formatted PDF reports.

Qualtrics-Ready

Pass participant IDs via URL parameter for seamless survey integration.

Admin-Gated Accounts

All researcher accounts are approved by a platform administrator.
