HeyGen has introduced an innovative feature that allows users to integrate AI-powered avatars into Zoom meetings, enhancing virtual interactions. These Interactive Avatars can join multiple Zoom sessions simultaneously, operating 24/7, and are designed to look, sound, and behave like the user, making real-time decisions based on provided knowledge bases. https://www.heygen.com/
Key Features:
- Real-Time Interaction: The avatars engage in dynamic conversations, responding promptly to participants using OpenAI’s real-time voice integration. This ensures natural and efficient interactions during meetings.
- Versatility: Suitable for various applications such as online coaching, customer support, sales calls, and interviews, these avatars can handle repetitive tasks, allowing users to focus on more critical aspects of their work.
- Personalization: Users can create custom avatars that mirror their appearance and voice, and how they speak, providing a consistent and authentic presence in virtual meetings. Additionally, users can create up to 100 different “looks” for their avatar, enabling variations in backgrounds, outfits, and camera angles to keep the virtual presence engaging and versatile.
While it is definitely getting better all the time, the avatars still look and sound fake to me – almost there, but not quite.
