FinalizeReview the character, disclosure and sharing boundary.

I own or have permission to use the appearance and voice references.No public figure or private person is being impersonated without authorization. Always show “AI character · not human.”This disclosure cannot be removed from public Ensemble experiences. This character is suitable for an adult-audience product.Restricted material remains private and age-gated.

Instrumentation contract

Every public build should emit privacy-minimized product events into the existing HQ analytics envelope: acquisition source, onboarding completion, character build step, generation outcome, room wait, session start, first response, interruption, report, share and return.

No invented dashboard

This preview reports only values the local runtime can measure. Retention, conversion and usage charts remain empty until the production identity and event pipeline are connected and reviewed.

ENSEMBLE API

A character system, not a face endpoint.

v0.2 · ÉTUDE

One record. Every representation.

Resolve the same character into generated video, LiveKit or Unreal without handing their memory and persona to the face vendor.
