Multi-Language Content

Same script, 140+ languages, one API call each. Reach global audiences without hiring voice actors or translators for every locale.

Platform Features

Everything you need to generate production-quality talking-head videos programmatically.

Photorealistic AI Avatars

Choose from a library of diverse, professional-looking AI presenters. Male, female, multiple ethnicities and styles β€” or upload a custom avatar.

Natural Lip-Sync

Industry-leading lip synchronization with natural head movements and expressions. Viewers can't tell it's AI-generated.

Multi-Language Support

1140+ languages with native-sounding voices. Generate the same script in English, Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic β€” one API call each.

Ultra-Low Latency Streaming

Conversational AI pipelines ready. Stream video frames in <500ms for real-time talking-head generation, or use async webhooks for batch processing.

High Concurrency Limits

Built for enterprise aggregators. Support thousands of concurrent streaming sessions without queueing or restrictive rate limits.

White-Label Ready

Per-client API keys with independent spend caps. Zero branding on outputs. Build your own avatar product on top.

Pay-Per-Use, No Seat Fees

From $0.50/minute of avatar video. No monthly minimums, no per-seat pricing. Scale from 10 to 10,000 videos/month.

Custom Backgrounds

Built-in backgrounds (office, classroom, gradient) or supply your own. Brand-consistent videos without a green screen.

Batch Generation

Generate hundreds of personalized videos in parallel. Perfect for sales sequences, onboarding flows, and course catalogs.

How It Works

Three steps from script to finished talking-head video.

1

Submit your script

POST your script text, avatar selection, voice, and language to /v1/avatar/generations. Choose from built-in avatars or use a custom one.

2

Video renders instantly or async

The avatar model generates lip-synced video with natural expressions. Async batch rendering takes ~2-3 minutes, while our WebSockets stream frames in <500ms.

3

Stream or deliver via webhook

In real-time mode, stream frames directly to a WebRTC player. For async, your webhook receives the MP4 URL to push to your LMS, CRM, or CDN.

Integration Examples

Instructional videos, personalized sales outreach, and e-learning courses β€” all from a few lines of code.
