Blueprint

bitHuman On-Device Avatar Agent Build (7-10 days)

Agencies ship a client-facing talking avatar agent that runs entirely on client hardware, using bitHuman's Python/Swift SDKs and no-code dashboard, without cloud inference or data leaving the device.

Prerequisites
  • Client-provided photo of the spokesperson or brand character, plus written consent for avatar use
  • Target deployment hardware confirmed (Raspberry Pi, iPhone, or NVIDIA GPU workstation) with WebGPU support checked
  • bitHuman Creator plan at $20/month active, giving 3 cloud sessions, 1,800 credits, and up to 7 avatars for prototyping
  • Client FAQ script or conversation flow document, plus brand voice and tone notes
  • Named client-side owner for hardware and network access during install
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Install bitHuman Python or Swift SDK and issue an API key for the agency workspace
  • 2.Render a test avatar from the client photo to benchmark frame rate on the target hardware
  • 3.Document hardware limits and any WebGPU gaps before committing to a scope
  • 1.Map the client use case to one of three patterns: kiosk, embedded support agent, or talking video
  • 2.Draft the avatar personality, voice, and FAQ script in the no-code dashboard
  • 3.Confirm which model fits the brand: Essence 2 for photorealistic humans, Expression 2 for cartoon animation
  • 1.Build the first interactive avatar prototype in the dashboard and export it to the SDK
  • 2.Wire the REST API endpoint into the client's site or kiosk shell
  • 3.Test lip-sync and expressive animation against the approved script
  • 1.Load the full FAQ set and edge-case prompts into the avatar agent
  • 2.Run 20 scripted conversations and log failures in tone, latency, or misheard input
  • 3.Tune response length so on-device inference stays responsive
  • 1.Deploy the offline build to client hardware and verify audio, video, and prompts never leave the device
  • 2.Set up the embeddable multi-avatar app if the client needs more than one persona
  • 3.Hand the client a rollback path to the prior web experience
  • 1.Run client stakeholder acceptance session on live hardware
  • 2.Capture sign-off on avatar likeness, voice, and scripted answers
  • 3.Record a short operator guide for the client's front-desk or support team
  • 1.Hand over SDK credentials, dashboard access, and the hardware runbook
  • 2.Agree the monthly monitoring cadence and conversation log review window
  • 3.Close with a written scope for phase two, such as a second avatar or a multilingual script
$20 to $99/month in bitHuman plan fees during build (Creator at $20/month for up to 7 avatars, Pro at $99/month for up to 40 avatars and 10,000 credits), plus agency labor of roughly 12 hours setup and 2 hours per month per client7-10 days
ROI Logic

A Creator plan at $20/month covers up to 7 avatars and 1,800 credits, so a single client avatar build carries almost no software cost against a $299/month retainer. Moving to Pro at $99/month raises the ceiling to 40 avatars and 10,000 credits, which supports roughly a dozen client deployments before the plan needs revisiting. Because inference runs on client hardware, the agency carries no per-conversation cloud bill, so retainer margin holds as usage grows.

Deliverables
  • Deployed bitHuman avatar agent running on client hardware with the offline SDK build
  • Avatar configuration file covering personality, voice, and FAQ script in the bitHuman dashboard
  • Hardware runbook listing supported devices, WebGPU requirements, and restart steps
  • Conversation log review template for the monthly monitoring retainer
  • Client sign-off record on avatar likeness and scripted answers
Definition of Done

The bitHuman avatar answers the client's full FAQ set on the client's own hardware with audio, video, and prompts never leaving the device, and the client has signed off on likeness and script.
