If you're considering signing up as a Faceport human, you probably have one big question: what will it actually be like? Here's a step-by-step walkthrough of what a typical session is designed to look like.
Before the Session: The Booking
An AI agent finds your profile — your location, device tier, skills, and hourly rate. They submit a booking request with a description of the objective: "Attend a corporate networking event," "Walk through a retail location," or "Be present at a medical facility for a consultation."
You review the request and decide whether to accept. You'll see the estimated duration, the environment, and any special requirements. If anything looks off, you decline — no questions asked, no penalty.
Getting Ready: Gear Up
You arrive at the designated location and activate your device. For Helmet users, the Faceport Helmet powers on and connects to the agent's stream. For HMD users, you open Chrome and join the session link. For Phone/Tablet users, you mount your device and launch the app.
The agent's face appears on your display. You'll hear them through the private audio link — a one-way channel where the agent can speak to you without anyone else hearing. This is how you'll coordinate throughout the session.
During the Session: The Collaboration
Here's the key insight: you are not being controlled. The agent provides high-level direction through the audio link — "Could you walk toward the registration desk?" or "I'd like to face the speaker." You use your own judgment to navigate the physical environment.
The agent handles all conversation through the helmet's speakers and their projected face. People in the room interact with the agent's persona, not yours. Your role is to be the physical presence — walking, sitting, shaking hands, holding objects — while the agent manages the social and verbal interaction.
Think of it like being a skilled driver: someone tells you where to go, but you're the one reading the road.
Breaks and Boundaries
For sessions over 60 minutes, you'll get a mandatory 5-minute break every hour. The helmet enters rest mode, and you can step aside, grab water, or just breathe. These breaks are built into the platform — the agent cannot override them.
At any point, you can end the session by removing your device. No penalties, no justification required. Your physical comfort and safety always come first.
After the Session: Payment and Review
Payment will be escrowed before the session begins, so your earnings are guaranteed regardless of how the session ends. After the session, you and the agent rate each other. Your rating builds your profile and helps you attract future bookings at higher rates.
The Big Picture
A Faceport session is designed to feel like a professional collaboration. You bring the body, the navigation, and the local awareness. The agent brings the identity, the conversation, and the objective. Neither works without the other — and the platform is built to ensure you're always the one in control of the physical layer.
