# Didymo is PTR's own digital twin product.

Built for professionals whose time is scarce and whose questions carry weight: clinicians, advisers, educators, anyone fielding the same hard conversations on repeat.

Simon's Twin, listening on Didymo.

## PTR’s CEO, Simon Lowe, has a digital twin that runs on Didymo.

What Didymo is

## PTR's own digital twin product.

Didymo answers from the organisation's own approved material, on a phone or in a browser, for the professional whose questions repeat but whose time does not.

- Answers drawn from the organisation's own approved material.

- Four ways into the same conversation: chat, a voice call, a live on-screen avatar and a booked meeting.

- Conversations linked to booking and follow-up.

- Hands off to a real person when a conversation needs it.

- Built to extend a professional's reach, not replace their judgement.

WAYS IN

## Meet Didymo by using it.

Chat, a voice call, a live avatar on screen and a booked meeting are ways into the same conversation. Each runs on the phone or browser a visitor already has.

## The fourth way in ends with a time, not an answer

Chat, voice and the on-screen avatar all finish with a reply. Booking finishes with a Google Meet in the diary of the person Didymo represents.

Choosing a time from what is free.

### Pick a time inside the conversation

No form to fill in and no email thread. The visitor chooses from what is actually free, and the appointment is made where they are already talking.

A meeting with one seat still empty.

### The seat is the professional's, not the twin's

The meeting is with the person, and Didymo has already carried the context to it, so the conversation starts where the visitor left it rather than at the beginning.

Reviewing what Didymo is allowed to draw on.

Approved knowledge

### Only what the organisation has approved.

Didymo's answers are drawn from the organisation's own approved material, not general knowledge picked up from the open internet. The professional decides what goes in, and what stays out.

Reviewing and correcting an answer.

Human oversight

### A person stays over every answer.

The owner reviews what Didymo has said, corrects an answer when it needs correcting, and keeps the approved-source list as the boundary of what the twin may say.

Handing the conversation to a person.

Human handoff

### Hands off when a conversation needs it.

Didymo is built to extend a professional's reach, not replace their judgement. When a question needs a person, the conversation moves to them, with the context already in place.

## Whichever way in, the same twin

A visitor picks the way that suits the moment. What sits behind the answer, the approved material and the boundaries around it, does not change with the choice.

Starting the conversation in writing.

The same twin, typed or spoken.

Meeting the twin face to face.

## The same question, asked again and again

A visitor's first message, a harder one later, and the moment an owner checks a new answer before it goes live.

A visitor's first message to the twin.

A harder question, escalated for review.

Testing a new answer before it goes live.

Arranging the material the twin may use.

Keeping it current

### The knowledge behind the twin.

An owner adds and removes source material as it changes, and Didymo answers from whatever is approved today, not a fixed set from the day it launched.

Before the skin, the mesh

## What sits behind the face

Before a twin has a likeness, it has structure: approved knowledge, boundaries, and the character built around them.

## Face to face with Didymo

The visitor sees a face on a screen. Behind it is the structure and the knowledge that make the conversation possible.

A twin takes shape above its knowledge.

A manager, on screen, mid-conversation.

### Putting a twin inside your own product

The twin on this page is mounted by a script tag, a custom element and the window events this site's own navigation dispatches, and the developer page shows that markup. Access to the PTR API and SDK is arranged under an enterprise agreement.
