Similar real-time conversational digital human products in the industry include Synthesia's real-time version and D-ID's Agents.
Synthesia provides dedicated skills for Claude Code and Cursor that can complete configuration automatically.
Developers building an AI digital human system only need to write three things: the webpage that hosts the digital human, a minimal token server, and the AI agent itself; LiveKit and Synthesia are external services.
The Synthesia platform offers more than 240 stock avatars, thousands of voices, and can translate videos into more than 160 languages.
Synthesia is one of the largest AI video platforms currently available, with over 90% of Fortune 100 companies using it.
The digital human avatar does not care who generated the words—all reasoning is handled by the agent, and the avatar only receives audio—so adding a face to an existing agent requires essentially just three or four lines of code.
Synthesia's interactive avatar API is essentially a plugin for LiveKit, billed on a usage basis at approximately $0.12 per minute, with a free tier included.
Early comparable products such as HeyGen and Synthesia typically required users to record several minutes of authorized video as training material, with generation cycles ranging from a few minutes to several hours.
Competitors in the AI talking-head video space can be divided into two categories: Synthesia and HeyGen emphasize enterprise-grade avatar customization and multilingual dubbing at higher price points, while D-ID and Runway focus more on creative generation and dynamic visual effects.
Commercial platforms such as HeyGen, Synthesia, and D-ID offer one-stop digital avatar services, allowing users to upload photos or short videos and record voice samples to obtain an interactive digital avatar within a few hours.
