AI avatar agent

Definition

An AI avatar agent is an AI agent with a real-time avatar as its face. It answers people from a company's own knowledge and can take actions through connected tools, such as booking a meeting or opening a ticket, while talking face to face.

How AI avatar agents work

The agent has three jobs: understand the request, find the answer or action, and deliver it through the avatar. Knowledge bases ground its answers; function calling lets it act in other systems; escalation rules hand difficult cases to a person.

It is a video agent with a defined role, for example "customer support specialist" or "HR interviewer".
