DIGITAL PEOPLE


You've heard of talking head video generators. Pick an actor, choose a voice, paste in some text, and out pops a video. We do that. But you can also run them live as embodied agents, using modules that plug into your app or website. With behaviors defined by a script or by an AI, your avatars can literally have a mind of their own as they answer questions and engage in dialog. Our underlying Character API™ is unique in its use of cloud animation and edge caching to scale economically to hundreds of thousands of simultaneous users - each with their own personalized experience. And our People Builder™ Studio is not just a thin wrapper around an API, but a complete authoring system, with pre-fab building blocks for sales, personalized learning, and more.

The People Builder

Chatbot Scenario Slideshow
The People Builder lets you build videos and interactive modules featuring talking realistic and cartoon characters. Use it to create presentations, simulations, learning materials, social agents, and much more.

Have a website? You are a few clicks away from adding a conversational avatar to greet and onboard users. Try one now by clicking on the chat button at the bottom right of this page!

Have a message? Get a quick start by importing a Powerpoint deck. Maybe add a quiz slide to verify comprehension. Pick gestures and emotions to enhance your scripts. Use our integrated AI voices to get a studio-quality voiceover. You can export to standalone HTML5 and video formats, or embed your modules into your website using an embed code. You can build most applications without any programming, or take advantage of our javascript and React API for even more flexibility.

The People Builder Studio is easy to use, but offers a powerful and flexible content model, with digital people as first-class citizens. The Studio lets you create engaging materials at scale, with precision and consistency. And edits are quick and easy, so you can always keep your materials current.

The People API

Ever wonder how People Builder modules achieve run-anywhere, realistic, lip-synced character animation, with fast load times, low latency, and full interactivity? Hint. Our characters do NOT require a streaming video connection, so they can also be delivered at a fraction of the cost.

Media Semantics has partnered with Amazon AWS Marketplace™ to make the underlying APIs used in the People Builder service available for use in your own custom applications.

The Character API™ uses scalable cloud computing, edge caching, and HTML5 animation to deliver a dynamic, talking character experience to any device, at scale, with sub-300ms response times for dynamic requests.

The Chatbot API™ is a fast, cloud-based conversation engine that blends symbolic and generative techniques in a powerful framework for social agent applications.
