AI Agent Avatar Creator
An interactive AI agent avatar creator — a Rive-powered experience where the avatar rigs, animates and reacts through state machines, all inside a living UI.
My role
Tools
AI agents are everywhere, but their avatars are usually static GIFs. This project explores what happens when the agent itself is a real, rigged character that reacts in real time.
The experience is built in Rive: the avatar is a proper rig — bones, constraints and a state machine graph that wires every interaction together. Choose an agent, customise its look, and it responds through the same state machine that drives the interface.
Below you’ll find the embedded demo, the creation interface, and a look inside the editor at the rig and state machine that make it feel alive.
01 · Try It
A living demo, right in the case study
The actual Rive file, embedded here. Hover to engage — the interact pill lifts away and the character responds through its state machine.
02 · The Characters
Every agent, one lineup
Each character is a full rig — bones, constraints and a state machine of its own. Pick your agent; the whole cast is ready to respond.
03 · Built in Rive
Rigs and state machines, not frames
Inside the editor the avatar is a real rig — bones, constraints and a state machine graph wiring every interaction. That is what makes it responsive at runtime.

Watch it come together
A short screen recording of the experience in action — selecting an agent, customising it, and seeing the character respond through its state machine.
