Create a Digital Human

Create a Digital Human in Halo: tell Halo what it should do, install a ready-made one from the Store, or build one with a form or an imported file.

Just tell Halo

Set up a Digital Human that sums up the previous day's tech news in 5 points every weekday at 9 am.

Halo first reads the official guide for creating Digital Humans, asks you a few questions (when it should run, where results go, whether to post them to a group), then creates the Digital Human in the current workspace and tells you it's ready. It then appears under Digital Humans › My Digital Humans.

The Digital Human is created in the workspace where you ask. The more specific you are, the better: what it should do each time, how often, who gets the result, and when it should check with you first. Where something is unclear, Halo asks; it never guesses a schedule.

Before you start

• Connect an AI model.
• For a Digital Human that takes requests or posts results in WeCom, Feishu or WeChat, you also need a bot. You can create the Digital Human first and see Message channels overview afterwards.

Four ways to create one

Way	Best when
Tell Halo (above)	Most of the time; no configuration knowledge needed
Install from the Store	You want a ready-made Digital Human and only fill in a few settings
Use the form	You want to write the job description yourself, field by field
Import a file	A colleague shared a Digital Human file with you

Install from the Store

1. Click Store on the left rail, switch to the Digital Human tab, and click a card to see its details.
2. Click Install.
3. Choose the workspace to install it in. A Digital Human goes into one workspace; if you have only one, there's nothing to choose.
4. If it has settings to fill in, click Next, fill in the required ones as the card describes, then click Install; if it has none, just click Install.
5. When the button says Installed, click Use to open it.

More in Store.

Use the form

1. Click Digital Humans on the left rail, then Create Digital Human in My Digital Humans.
2. Stay on the Visual tab and fill in:
   • App Name, Description and Author;
   • System Prompt: the Digital Human's job description, which it follows on every run.
3. The Schedule switch is on by default, with a run every hour. Change the timing as you need, or turn it off (then it works only when you run it or a bot message arrives). How to set the timing: Schedules and triggers.
4. Choose a model (it follows the global setting by default) and pick a workspace under Install to. You can also create a new workspace right there.
5. Click Create Digital Human.

How to write the System Prompt: say who it is, the few things it does on each run, the format of the result and who gets it, and when it should ask you first. For example:

You compile tech news every day. On each run:
1. Search for the previous day's AI and internet news;
2. Pick the 5 most important stories, summarize each in one sentence, and add the source link;
3. Put the result together as a short brief.
If there's no news worth reporting that day, say "No important news today."

For every field in the YAML, see the Digital Human spec reference.

Import a file

1. In the Create Digital Human dialog, switch to the Import tab.
2. Drag the file onto "Drop a digital human file here". .zip, .dhpkg and .yaml are supported; you can also click Browse folder... to pick a folder.
3. Check the preview, choose a workspace under Install to, and install. "Installation complete" means you're done.

Skills included in the file are installed along with the Digital Human.

Done

The Digital Human appears under Digital Humans › My Digital Humans as Standing by or Running. Open it to see its runs in Work activity; to try it right away, click Run now.

Troubleshooting

"A digital human with the same name already exists in this workspace"

A workspace can't have two Digital Humans with the same name. Use another name, or uninstall the old one first.

It was created in the wrong workspace

Open the Digital Human, click ⋮ at the top right, and choose Move to another workspace. Files and history stay where they are; new work starts in the new workspace.

You asked Halo, but it didn't create anything

Make sure you asked in a conversation (not during another Digital Human's scheduled run). Also, Digital Humans under Settings › Advanced › Built-in MCP Extensions must be on (it is by default); when it's off, Halo can't create or manage Digital Humans for you.

Next steps

• Schedules and triggers: have it work at set times, or only on working days.
• Message channels overview: let it take requests and report in WeCom, Feishu or WeChat.
• Runs and management: see what it did and answer its questions.
