Events and trade shows

A booth avatar that greets visitors, answers questions about your product and hands them to your staff. It renders on a machine at the booth, so its video does not travel over the hall’s network.

Where it runs

A Linux PC with no GPU (x86_64 or arm64) or a Mac with Apple silicon, running the CLI. Both models run live on a standard Linux PC with no GPU; how fast each one renders is on Performance. The step-by-step setup is Kiosk on a Linux PC.

When the Wi-Fi is weak

• The avatar renders at the booth. When the avatar renders on your hardware, its audio and video stay there.
• Keep the conversation at the booth too: the CLI’s local conversation brain (BITHUMAN_LOCAL=1) runs speech recognition, the language model and the voice on the machine. The session still reports usage online.
• Network drops: a session checks your API secret when it starts and keeps rendering through a network drop of up to 5 minutes.
• No internet in the hall at all: Fully offline, on the Business and Enterprise plans.

Setup checklist

1. Before the show: create the avatar and write its persona. Creating the avatar from a portrait happens in the bitHuman cloud.
2. On a good connection: on the booth machine, run bithuman pull $AGENT_CODE, then bithuman run once with the conversation brain you will use, so the avatar and the brain are on the machine.
3. Its own API secret: give the booth a secret of its own, so you can revoke it after the show (API secrets).
4. At the booth: test the microphone with the hall’s noise, and show the avatar full screen in Chrome’s kiosk mode (Kiosk on a Linux PC).
5. When the hall closes: stop the avatar. A session bills while it runs, talking or idle.
