RealYou progress this week.
Two weeks of build remain and the work runs on two tracks. The first is finishing what is open. The platform is deployed on your AWS environment with the approved website design merged in, films generate automatically after checkout with progress shown in the portal, and the video pipeline has been upgraded with narration tuned to fit and rendering running in parallel. Multiple photo uploads, multi-shot video, the dictation and image-generation items your team reported, and the infrastructure work are all now complete. This week the interview avatar is being built and the sign-up is being restructured so the avatar sits inside it. Video generation is running on your AWS server and ready, and we are completing the internal testing pass on it now, with new logins coming across to your team as soon as that is done so you can do a full review. The admin dashboard is in build alongside it, bringing your stats and running costs into one place together with email marketing for the people who sign up. The second track is the handover, and the work there this week is preparing the documentation that goes with it. Wednesday is where we walk through where the build stands and hear how you would like the transition to run.
Handover
In progress
Preparing the documentation alongside the build
Your team is bringing on an internal technical lead, so alongside finishing the build we are preparing the handover. The work this week is putting the handover document together, covering the access points and where everything lives. Wednesday is where we walk through where the build stands and hear how you would like the transition to run.
| Item | Owner | When | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Handover document | AIDM | This week | One document covering the access points, where everything lives and where the documentation sits, going across this week. It answers the questions your technical lead sent on August 14th in one place rather than piecemeal, so he can work through it and come to Wednesday with whatever is left. |
| Handover documentation | AIDM | In progress | Preparing the documentation that goes with the handover, so your technical lead has what is needed to pick the platform up. |
| Wednesday session | AIDM | Aug 19 | Where the build stands, what is left in the final two weeks, and how you would like the transition to run. Your technical lead is welcome to join. |
| Three account items we need | Your team | Awaiting your team | ElevenLabs upgraded to Pro on the BFF Network account, the LiveAvatar plan upgraded to Essential on the BFF Gmail account, and a payment system account. We suggest Stripe, but whatever you prefer works. We connect it to the backend, and it is what lets the admin dashboard show your financials and running costs. |
Brand and website
In progress
Approved design merged, brand guide this week
The approved website design is merged into the build and running on your AWS environment. The brand stays as locked: hand-drawn, stamp-style, blue and gold. The updated brand guide is being finished and comes across to you this week.
| Item | Owner | When | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Updated brand guide | AIDM | This week | The full brand guide brought up to date with the final identity, delivered to your team this week. |
Video platform
In progress
Running on your AWS, avatar and sign-up this week
The platform is deployed on your AWS environment with the approved design merged in. Films now generate automatically after checkout with progress shown in the portal, and the pipeline has been upgraded with narration tuned to fit each clip and rendering running in parallel. Quality is held by generation guardrails, seam fixes between scenes, and an automated visual check on every render. Multiple photo uploads, multi-shot video, the dictation and image-generation items your team reported, and the infrastructure work on your AWS are all now complete. This week the interview avatar is being built and the sign-up is being restructured so the avatar sits inside it. The internal testing pass on video generation is being completed now, and new logins go out to your team as soon as it is done.
| Item | Owner | When | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interview avatar | AIDM | This week | Building the avatar that leads the interview by voice. It covers the nine identity questions, and a user chooses between talking to the avatar or answering the questions themselves. The physical details and photo uploads stay in a form either way. |
| Sign-up restructure | AIDM | This week | Reworking the sign-up so the avatar sits inside it, and going through account creation end to end so the journey from first visit to first film is clean. |
| Internal testing, then new logins to your team | AIDM | This week | The platform is on your AWS server and ready. We are completing the internal testing pass on video generation now, and new logins come across to your team as soon as that is done, so what you review is a complete build rather than a partial one. |
Admin dashboard and automations
In progress
Design started, build continues
This is the side of the product you run the business from. The admin dashboard brings your stats and running costs into one place, alongside subscriptions, social performance, and the video generation activity behind them, plus email marketing for the people who sign up. Design work started this week and the build continues through the rest of the month.
| Item | Owner | When | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Admin dashboard | AIDM | In progress | One place to see your stats and running costs, subscriptions, social performance, finances, and video generation activity, so the business runs from inside the product rather than alongside it. Design started August 17th. |
| Email marketing | AIDM | In progress | Campaigns and the customer records behind them, so the people who sign up can be reached from inside the same place. |
| Automations | AIDM | Planned | Turning on automations across the day-to-day running of the business, so the routine steps happen without anyone doing them by hand. |
