CellCog Avatars Guide

Avatars are digital personas you can create with images, voice, and personality. Use them to generate consistent content featuring your characters.

What Are Avatars?

Avatars combine:

• Images: Reference photos for visual consistency
• Voice: Cloned voice for speech generation
• Personality: Traits and communication style

Use avatars in chats by saying "Using avatar [name], create..." and the AI will use your avatar's characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many avatars can I create?

There's no strict limit, but each avatar consumes storage for images and voice data.

Can I use someone else's likeness?

Only create avatars of yourself or characters you have rights to. Don't create avatars of others without permission.

How long does voice processing take?

Usually 1-5 minutes depending on audio length and server load.

Why does my avatar show "Incomplete"?

The avatar is missing key components (images or voice). Add the missing elements to make it ready.

Can I share avatars with team members?

Avatars are currently personal. Team members would need to create their own.

What if voice cloning fails?

Try uploading a cleaner audio sample. Ensure:

• Minimal background noise
• Clear speech
• Sufficient length (30+ seconds)
