Summary
AI-drive start-up Akool has upgraded its Streaming Avatar product with the addition of advanced video generation tools that can connect avatars to large language models.
Integrating a photo and a voice recording, the firm’s customers can create personalised avatars that become an extension of the language model, making avatar interactions more human-like for end users.
The firm states that its streaming avatars offer dynamic and expressive capabilities that create new levels of engagement and interactivity, reducing the cost of video creation for businesses.
The firm offers two types of AI avatars, with Streaming Avatars suited to real-time interactions such as live customer support, while Talking Avatars are designed to deliver scripted messages.
Akool’s streaming avatars are currently available and can significantly improve human-AI interaction to make it more accessible and engaging.
