Custom avatar
A custom avatar is an AI Avatar based on a specific real person, such as an employee, a coach or a company spokesperson, instead of a stock character. It is created from a short recording of that person and used with their consent.
How custom avatars are made
The person records a short video of themselves talking. The avatar model learns their face, expressions and head movement from it, and from then on can speak any new words in their likeness, driven by a voice. Some teams pair the custom face with a cloned voice of the same person, which also needs their consent.
Companies use custom avatars when the face matters: a founder greeting visitors, a known trainer, or a brand ambassador.
How Beyond Presence does it
On Beyond Presence you pick a stock Avatar or record your own. Genesis 2.0 is trained per person from a short video, and self-serve Avatars are recorded live by the person they depict rather than uploaded, so every custom Avatar starts from consent. The number of custom Avatars included depends on your plan; see pricing.
Frequently asked questions
What do I need to create a custom Avatar on Beyond Presence?
The person who will appear, a camera and a quiet, well-lit space. They record a short video live, and Beyond Presence trains their Avatar from it.
Can I make a custom Avatar of an employee?
Yes, when the employee records it live themselves, which is how Beyond Presence self-serve Avatars work. Agree in writing what happens to the Avatar if they leave.
Can I make an Avatar of someone from existing videos?
No. Beyond Presence self-serve Avatars must be recorded live by the person themselves, so they can't be made from someone else's footage.
