LLM-Agnostic Avatars Give Model Builders Unmatched Flexibility, While the Lowest Latency on the Market Enables Natural and Interactive Real-Time Experiences
AKOOL, a trailblazer in AI-driven content creation, announced enhancements to AKOOL Streaming Avatars, an advanced video generation technology that now seamlessly integrates with large language models (LLM) to help model builders create dynamic, lifelike avatars. With the ability to upload a photo and provide a voice recording, customers can create a personalized avatar that becomes a natural extension of the LLM, making interactions with the avatar feel more human with a face and voice familiar to the end user.
Human interaction is important to consumers — 82% of U.S. and 74% of non-U.S. consumers say they want more of it. Available now, AKOOL Streaming Avatars significantly close the gap between AI models and end-users, making AI more accessible, engaging, and human-like, enabling businesses to differentiate their offerings and drive user adoption. Ultimately, AKOOL Streaming Avatars make traditionally text-based LLMs human through emotive real-time engagement.
