An AI Avatar is a digital human with a realistic face, voice and expressions, generated by AI to speak on behalf of a person or an AI agent. It turns words or audio into video of someone talking, either recorded in advance or rendered live during a conversation.
An AI Avatar takes speech, or text turned into speech, and produces video of a face saying it, with matching lip movement, expressions and head motion. Beyond Presence Avatars are real-time: the video is generated while the conversation happens, so the Avatar can answer what the person actually asks. That is different from pre-rendered avatar video, which is made in advance from a script and can't respond.
Companies use AI Avatars as the face of customer support agents, sales demos, interviewers, tutors and kiosks, and to present training content.
Beyond Presence builds real-time AI Avatars. Its Genesis 2.0 model streams 1080p video at 35 FPS, with about 100 ms Avatar render latency. Teams add an Avatar to a voice agent they already run with the Speech-to-Video API, or build a complete video agent with Managed Agents. Read what a real-time AI Avatar is.
Choose a stock Avatar, or create a custom Avatar from a short video recorded live by the person it shows. Then run it as a Managed Agent, or add it to your own voice agent with the Speech-to-Video API.
Beyond Presence AI Avatars are real-time. They are generated live during the conversation, about 100 ms after the audio arrives, so they listen and answer what people actually say, like a video call.
Customer support, sales demos, HR interviews, employee support, training roleplay, e-learning, healthcare information and in-store kiosks. One of the largest Italian electronics chains runs Beyond Presence Avatars on its kiosks, on-prem.
