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
Design rich conversational experiences with AI characters — scripted, open-ended, or patient-simulation — and deploy them to any participant with just a link.
Attach a 3D avatar to your scenario. Configure voice, mood, and persona to create a believable interaction your participants will remember.
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.
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
A straightforward workflow designed so that researchers can build and launch without writing code.
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.
Choose scripted (node-graph), open-ended (LLM-driven), or patient-simulation mode with objective tracking. Upload a knowledge base or craft a system prompt.
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
A guided, no-code builder walks you from character selection to live deployment in just a few steps.
Browse or design photorealistic 3D avatars and filter by style. Your character's persona, voice, and mood are all configurable.
Author your system prompt on the left, then build a branching node graph on the right — or let the LLM drive it freely.
Chat panel view for a messaging-style experience, or character speaking view for a focused, immersive interaction.
See It In Action
Scenarios run in any browser, on any device — desktop, laptop, or mobile. No app installs, no friction.
Participants interact with the character in a clean fullscreen view — no clutter, just the conversation.
Clinician training scenarios surface patient history and track learning objectives in real time alongside the chat.
Deploy scenarios featuring multiple distinct virtual characters for richer, more complex research designs.
