AI hosts and characters

An AI host is a recurring character with a recognisable role and delivery. It can be realistic, stylised or fictional. The concept follows the task and audience, rather than appearance alone.

When to use it

A character can present news, explain products, support learning and connect a series. Long-term consistency requires a defined vocabulary, pace, permitted topics and visual rules.

Deliverables

We agree the concept, personality, appearance, voice and pilot episode. A character guide can define clothing, backgrounds and tone. Episodes then follow approved scripts, with volume and frequency specified in the order.

What to prepare for an estimate

Describe the brand, audience, role, style, topics and platforms. Say whether the character needs to work in still graphics as well as video. Existing characters and identifiable likenesses require rights checks.

Terms and limitations

Perfect identity across every generated scene is not guaranteed; complex scenes are tested in the pilot. A virtual character must not be presented as a real independent customer with invented experience.

Common questions

Does the character need to look human?

No. A stylised mascot, graphic character or realistic host may suit the task. The choice depends on audience, subject and use beyond video.

Can the character appear in other materials?

Include those uses in design and rights requirements. Still illustrations, animation and interactive formats may need different source assets and production methods.
