Setup wizard
First-run setup that gets your essential services configured in a few clicks.
The wizard is Voxta's on-ramp. On first launch it gets you to a first conversation without learning the Manage Modules UI. It stays under Chat → Wizard in the left panel until setup is finished.
Two paths
- Use Voxta Cloud (recommended) — one step sets Voxta Cloud as the default for everything a chat needs. No GPU required. See Voxta Cloud → Getting Started.
- Set up manually — for advanced users. One step per feature:
| Step | What it does | |
|---|---|---|
| Text Generation | required | Writes the character's replies. |
| Voice | required | Speaks them. |
| Speech Transcription | required | Transcribes your microphone. |
| Computer Vision | optional | Lets characters see images. |
| Memory | optional | What characters remember from past chats. |
| Image Generation | optional | Draws pictures in the chat. |
| Animations | optional | 3D motion for avatars. |
Each step lists modules in three groups: Self-Hosted: Integrated (Zero-Setup), Cloud-Based, and Self-Hosted: Requires External Software. Install one to continue, or Skip an optional step.
Both paths end on Recommended modules: Microsoft Semantic Kernel (remembers what matters from past chats) and LiveKit Turn Detection (waits for you to finish your sentence). Uncheck what you'd rather skip.
On Voxta Lite, Voxta Cloud is the path; local modules need Voxta Full.
With Voxta Cloud
The wizard is optional. Leave it and configure services at your own pace in Manage Modules. Everything it sets up can be changed there or in the right panel later.
