Each simulation needs an AI Character, which is composed of:
an identity,
a physical appearance
a prompt which includes the personality, interests, and tasks to carry out.
1. Identity Section
In the Identity section, you will define the:
Character name: the name that will be displayed to learners in the simulation.
Spoken language: the language/dialect that the AI Character expects from the learner. Here is the list of supported languages: 🇸🇦 🇦🇪Arabic, 🇧🇬 Bulgarian, 🇨🇳 Chinese, 🇭🇷 Croatian, 🇨🇿 Czech, 🇩🇰 Danish, 🇳🇱 Dutch, 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦🇦🇺 English, 🇵🇭 Filipino , 🇫🇮 Finnish, 🇫🇷🇨🇦 French, 🇩🇪 German, 🇬🇷 Greek, 🇮🇳 Hindi, 🇭🇺 Hungarian, 🇮🇩 Indonesian, 🇮🇹 Italian, 🇯🇵 Japanese, 🇰🇷 Korean, 🇲🇾 Malay, 🇳🇴 Norwegian, 🇵🇱 Polish, 🇧🇷🇵🇹 Portuguese, 🇷🇴 Romanian, 🇷🇺 Russian, 🇸🇰 Slovak, 🇪🇸🇲🇽 Spanish, 🇸🇪 Swedish, 🇮🇳 Tamil, 🇹🇷 Turkish, 🇺🇦 Ukrainian, 🇻🇳 Vietnamese

Identity section.
To test out the various voices, select one, write an intro message, and click “Preview.” If you would like to customize the voice, we recommend choosing or creating a voice on Eleven Labs. Contact our technical support team to upload the voice to the platform. This service is only available for Starter+ plans and above.
2. Appearance Section
In the APPEARANCE section, you will customize the physical attributes of the AI Character.
Appearance section.
You can select an avatar from Wonda’s existing library (“Choose From Library” button) or, through Wonda’s integration with Ready Player Me, create a new one (“New Avatar” button), where you will determine the Character’s gender and choose from various:
Body shapes
Skin tones
Facial features
Hairstyles
Clothing
Accessories

CLICK “NEXT” TO ENSURE THE AVATAR IS SAVED (see image above). Clicking the “x” in the upper right corner will close the window without saving the changes.
3. Prompt Section
In the Prompt section, you will specify all the traits, behaviors, and tasks of the AI Character.
The section is broken down into two tabs: Character Prompts and Plain Text. Across both tabs, you will find the same information, only displayed differently. Writing in one tab will be reflected with the proper formatting in the other.

Prompts in Wonda are organized into categories, as grouping information helps improve Large Language Model (LLM) performance. In the Prompt section, you will notice that this prompt–see the Expanding category to view description image–has five categories: About This Simulation, The Character You Will Play, Context of the Discussion, Discussion Steps, Extra Knowledge.
To view the details–Description–for a prompt category, click the down arrow, as displayed in Expanding category to view description. Both Category titles and Descriptions can be edited.

To delete a category, click on the trash bin icon to the left of the arrow in the expanded version of the category, as displayed in Deleting a category.

To add a category, click on the “Add Category” button, as shown in Add a category. The new category will get added to the list with the title “undefined” (New category added).

The Plain Text tab houses the same information with different formatting: Category titles are preceded with “##” (e.g., ##ABOUT THE SIMULATION, ##THE CHARACTER YOU WILL PLAY, etc.) and the entire prompt is written in one textbox as depicted in Plain Text tab.
