Realtime Interactive Presenter Agent

Create conversational presentations with a single uploaded document

Creating and Using Realtime Interactive Presenter Agents

Realtime Interactive Presenter Agents transform a single PDF deck (or a single video) into an interactive experience. Instead of clicking through slides, audiences can ask questions, jump to chapters, take a built-in Quiz, and get tailored explanations in real time.

What Makes a Presenter Agent Different?

• Single document focus – One uploaded PDF or video anchors the entire conversation.
• Guided navigation – Users can request summaries, ask for the next slide, or revisit earlier sections.
• Context awareness – The agent understands slide order and their relationships, keeping answers on-track.
• Built-in Quiz – Multiple-choice questions defined for the presenter agent are exposed as a floating Quiz overlay in Avatar chat.
• Always on-brand – Deliver consistent demos and trainings without relying on a live presenter.

When to Choose a Presenter Agent

Create a Realtime Interactive Presenter Agent

1. Open the Agents Workspace

   Navigate to Agents in the side navigation (/agents) and click the Plus (+) icon to open /agents/create.

2. Name and Configure
   1. Enter a descriptive name (e.g., "Product Demo Presenter", "Compliance Training Deck"). The name becomes the slug (@product-demo-presenter).
   2. Turn the Presenter toggle on to switch from a knowledge-base agent to a presenter configuration.
   3. Write an Agent prompt and a Persona to set tone and behaviour.

   

3. Upload the Deck
   1. Open the Add document dropdown. For presenter agents you only see the Add PDF / Video option.
   2. Add your PDF (or a single video). Wait for the confirmation message: "Document uploaded successfully. Delete the existing document to upload a new one."
   3. Click Create agent to publish.

   

   
4. Verify the Setup

   After creation, the document appears in Agent Settings with its processing status. Confirm a character count displays to ensure the deck is ready.

   

Optimize Your Presentation File

Manage Presenter Content

1. Access Agent Settings

   Open the Agents workspace, select your presenter agent, and view the Presentation panel.

2. Replace the Deck

   Delete the current file using the trash icon, then upload the new version.

3. Confirm Processing

   Wait for the processing banner to finish and verify the character count updates.

Using the Quiz Overlay

When you talk to a Presenter Agent in Avatar chat, a Quiz icon appears in the floating toolbar next to the chat composer. Click it to:

• Step through multiple-choice questions defined on the agent's content
• Check answers without leaving the conversation
• Use the Hint button when stuck, then Next to progress
• Re-open the overlay any time during the session

The Quiz icon also appears next to qualifying agents in the Agents list (/agents) so you can preview the quiz outside of a live chat.

Delivering a Great Experience

• Rehearse navigation prompts so you know how the agent references each slide.
• Prepare likely questions and validate the responses stay aligned with your narrative.
• Pair with knowledge-base agents when you need deeper knowledge or integrations beyond the deck.
• Monitor Insights to see which slides and questions resonate most with audiences.
