Overview

This feature allows users to select agent avatars from a predefined character library or upload custom images. It integrates seamlessly with the existing Custom GPT creation flow.

Features

1. Character Library

  • Creative Characters: Designer, Artist, Writer, Innovator
  • Technical Characters: Developer, Engineer, Data Scientist, System Admin
  • Service Characters: Customer Support, Sales Representative, Consultant, Trainer

2. Custom Image Upload

  • Drag and drop functionality
  • File browser support
  • Image preview
  • Supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF formats

How It Works

Integration Points

  1. Custom GPT Overview Page: Users can select characters or upload images when creating new agents
  2. Agent List Display: Selected images appear in the agent list view
  3. Thunderbolt Dialog: Selected images are visible in the agent selection dialog

User Experience

  1. Click "🎭 Choose from Character Library" button
  2. Select from two tabs:
    • Characters: Browse and select from predefined character categories
    • Upload: Drag & drop or browse for custom images
  3. Selected image appears in the agent creation form
  4. Image is saved with the agent and displayed in lists

Technical Implementation

Components

  • CharacterSelectionDialog.tsx: Main dialog component with tabs
  • Overview.tsx: Integration with existing Custom GPT form

Key Features

  • Maintains existing FileUploadCustom functionality
  • Adds character selection capability
  • Preserves form validation and data flow
  • Responsive design with proper mobile support

Data Handling

  • Character selections are marked with isCharacter: true flag
  • Custom uploads work as before with file objects
  • Both types update previewCoverImg for immediate display
  • Backward compatibility maintained

Customization

Adding New Characters

  1. Update DEFAULT_CHARACTERS object in CharacterSelectionDialog.tsx
  2. Add new categories and character objects
  3. Replace placeholder images (/defaultgpt.jpg) with actual character images

Styling

  • Uses existing design system classes (bg-b11, text-b2, etc.)
  • Responsive grid layout for character selection
  • Hover effects and transitions
  • Consistent with existing UI components

Future Enhancements

  • Character search functionality
  • Favorite characters
  • Character categories based on agent type
  • AI-generated character suggestions
  • Character customization options

Notes

  • Current implementation uses placeholder images (/defaultgpt.jpg)
  • Character selections don't create actual file objects (maintains compatibility)
  • Existing file upload functionality remains unchanged
  • Form validation works for both character and file selections
