Immersive update
Avatar Builder in Omni AI Companion
Avatar Builder is a hands-on workspace for shaping a visual identity instead of settling for the first available option. It is useful when you know the feeling you want—welcoming, dramatic, playful, understated—but need controls that turn that feeling into a specific look.
What changed
More deliberate visual authorship
Open Avatar Builder in Omni and work through the controls presented there. The builder gives a visual concept a place to become concrete, with choices you can inspect as you go.
A repeatable path to refinement
Rather than starting over whenever an idea changes, compare the current result with the mood you intended, adjust one element, and review again. This makes iteration part of the experience instead of a sign that you failed.
Why this feature matters
A visual identity does not need to be elaborate to be personal. Small choices—palette, expression, styling, and atmosphere—can make the companion experience easier to recognize and more inviting to return to.
Builder-style tools are especially helpful for people who think visually. You can react to what is in front of you, discover preferences through comparison, and arrive at a result that words alone would not have predicted.
Feature examples and use cases
- A recognizable study companion: Chris creates a bright, clear avatar for weekday study sessions so the start of a learning routine has a consistent visual cue.
- A seasonal refresh: Morgan adjusts colors and styling for a new season without changing the purpose of the companion relationship.
- A story character sketch: Tess uses the builder to explore silhouettes and moods before writing a character description.
How to use it
- Open Avatar Builder: Open Avatar Builder in Omni and review the starting state. Decide what visual quality you want to change first.
- Make one change at a time: Use the available controls, preview each adjustment, and compare it with your intended mood. Small iterations make it easier to understand which choice helped.
- Review and use the result: When the appearance feels coherent, follow the on-screen action to apply or save it, then check it in the companion experience where you plan to use it.
Tips for a better first try
- Start with a mood word, then translate it into color, expression, or styling.
- Change one major element at a time so you can tell what improved the result.
- Preview on the device where you usually use the companion.
Limitations and things to know
- The builder's controls and available visual options can vary by current product experience.
- A preview may not look identical on every screen or in every mode.
