The Science of Conversational AI

Tue, 17 Oct 2023 01:22:43 +0000

Interactive avatars in the form of Digital Beings and Virtual Humans appear at their functional best when they look great, sound great and makes sense when they speak.

Our production partner, Mimic Productions and David Bennett, recently recorded a live session with "Vio," who interacts with an engineer, basing her conversational abilities on an integration with ChatGPT.

"Vio's" appearance can be customized to look like anyone, her voice can be modified or clone, and she can speak with the effectiveness of the world's best customer service agents.
