## What You Can Customize

Here’s what you can do inside the Avatar Studio:

* **Choose a Sample Avatar,**

  Pick from a library of ready-to-use, high-fidelity avatars.
* **Customize Appearance**\
  Modify facial features, clothing, hairstyles, and other visual elements to reflect your character’s identity.
* **Upload Your Own Avatars**\
  Prefer a unique design? Upload your own 3D avatar models for full control over their look.
* **Set Up Intelligent Animations**\
  Configure gestures like waving, nodding, reacting, and thinking — all triggered contextually during conversations.
* **Select a Virtual Environment**\
  Place your avatar in immersive digital scenes that match the tone and use case of your experience.
* **Adjust Interaction Behavior**\
  Fine-tune how your avatar communicates — such as their speaking style, tone, and user engagement preferences.
* **Device & Branding Adaptation**\
  Customize how the avatar interface behaves across different devices and align it with your brand’s visual identity.

After you finish customizing, simply **save and publish** your avatar to bring it into your character’s conversations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.convai.com/api-docs/no-code-experiences/avatar-studio-experiences/customizing-your-avatar.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
