Beyond Presence builds the next generation of real-time AI avatars: hyper-real, multilingual, and emotionally expressive. We are a research company building foundational models for Hyper-realistic, real-time interactive avatars that can have human-like face-to-face conversations. Powered by our proprietary foundational model, our avatars don’t just talk, they listen, react, and respond in under 100ms, making every interaction feel natural, human, and personal. From customer support and sales enablement to HR interviewing, training, coaching, and immersive experiences, our API-ready platform lets you embed lifelike AI into your products without compromise. Why settle for static chatbots or delayed video rendering when you can deliver live, face-to-face AI conversations that build trust, drive engagement, and scale globally? We combine: 1) Human connection – expressive avatars with natural micro-expressions, tone, and empathy. 2) Machine precision – 24/7 availability, multilingual fluency, and instant scalability. 🚀 Use Cases: 1) AI customer support agents that resolve issues instantly. 2) Sales avatars that pitch, demo, and close — in any language. 3) HR interviewer avatars that screen and assess candidates with consistency and fairness. 4) Virtual trainers and coaches that adapt to each learner. 5) Digital humans that bring games, virtual worlds, and events to life. 🤝 Let’s build it together → https://www.beyondpresence.ai/
