Your Digital Twin, Your Vision
Welcome to the exciting process of creating your digital twin! This section provides a condensed overview of the steps outlined in our comprehensive guide: Creating Your Digital Twin.
Remember, you are the architect of your digital twin's environment. The time and effort you invest in this onboarding process directly correlates to your students' comfort and willingness to engage with your AI assistant. Let's make it uniquely yours!
The Onboarding Journey consists of a questionnaire and a personality prompt. You will begin by answering a series of thoughtfully designed questions to shape your digital twin's foundation. Then, you will generate a prompt that breathes life into your digital twin's personality. Whether you prefer a basic outline or an intricate character sketch, the choice is yours!

Remember, this is your opportunity to create a digital extension of yourself that will revolutionize your students' learning experience. Let's embark on this journey together!
Digital Twin Onboarding Steps
Open the Pria Dialogue box (bottom right corner of the Canvas page) and select “Create Digital Twin”
After you create a new Digital Twin, you’ll be taken to a page that looks like this:
From here, you’ll select “Onboarding Questions” and answer them in as much detail as you’d like. These questions are designed to capture your unique preferences, style, and approach. The page should look like this:
Answer each question, using the Previous and Next buttons to move between questions. The more genuine your answers are, the more personality your digital twin will have. Once done with an answer, press ‘I’m Done’ and move to the next.
Once you’ve answered all the onboarding questions, you should see a screen like this:
Click “Generate Prompt.” You’ll then see a page like this:
From here, you can review and edit the prompt as desired. Once you are satisfied with it, click “Use Prompt.” Now it is automatically copied to the AI Prompt field under the section ‘GPT and Personalization‘.
In the main toolbar, click “GPT and Personalization.” That will take you to this screen:
Save your updates by clicking the green “Update” button.
Now your digital twin is set up with the ability to respond and act as if they were you! This personalization enhances the student experience, making it more authentic and aligned with your unique teaching style
Uploading Trusted Sources
Now that you’ve created your digital twin, it’s time to refine the resources they can use to help answer student questions.
From the main toolbar, use the “Agents and Trusted Sources” page to select which of the 28 default tools you wish to disable (if any) for your instance.
To access your admin dashboard, the method depends on your Pria integration. If Pria is integrated through your Learning Management System (LMS), simply sign in directly through your LMS. However, if you're using Pria as a standalone service, navigate to https://www.hiimpria.ai/login and sign in there.
Once you are in your Digital Twin interface, click the house icon to access your admin dashboard.
In your admin dashboard, you have access to:
