The Generative Body Description (PAF‑GBD) AIM produces the Body Descriptors of a machine-generated body from the Text and the Machine Speech the body accompanies. When a Gesture Personal Status is supplied, the body expresses it; when it is absent, the body carries a neutral posture:
| Receives | Text Object | The Text the body accompanies. |
| Machine Speech | The Speech the body accompanies, to which the gestures are synchronised. | |
| Gesture Personal Status | The Personal Status the body expresses (optional). | |
| Produces | Body Descriptors | The Body Descriptors of the machine-generated body. |
Gesture is a subset of Body: the Body Descriptors include the Gesture Descriptors, so the Generative Body Description (PAF-GBD) AIM also generates the Gesture of the Avatar.

8 Conformance Testing
Table 2 provides the Conformance Testing Method for the PAF‑GBD AIM.
If a schema contains references to other schemas, conformance of data for the primary schema implies that any data referencing a secondary schema shall also validate against the relevant schema, if present, and conform with the Qualifier, if present.
| Receives | Text Object | Shall validate against Basic Text Object schema. |
| Machine Speech | Shall validate against Basic Speech Object schema. | |
| Gesture Personal Status | Shall validate against Personal Status schema. | |
| Produces | Body Descriptors | Shall validate against Body Descriptors Object schema. |
