After Google acquired my AR startup, I started thinking about the next interface, this time for AI. Text and voice work fine, just like DOS did before the Mac. But nothing’s more intuitive than face to face. After two years of research, today we’re launching Atmee v2: a real-time avatar model that makes live video agents feel truly life-like. • Any character from 1 image + 10s of audio • Contextual expressions, gestures, even interacting with the environment • Live video calls, voice only, or video generation At its core, Atmee v2 is a video foundation model, it can render anything, but it’s built to excel at characters, which is what video models like Seedance 2.5 and Wan 3.0 are mostly used for. In comparison: Atmee v2 • Up to 50x faster • 10-100x cheaper Build tutors, sales coaches, support agents, companions, game characters, even whole living worlds. The interface after text and voice starts today.
