Introducing V4 avatars: digital humans with true emotional range
Built from multi-sentiment recordings of real actors, V4 Avatars capture the subtlety and depth of human expression like nothing else on the market. They deliver unmatched facial nuance, tonal accuracy, and humanlike presence, able to reflect different sentiments based on user input—whether calm, positive, empathetic, or more—resulting in performances that feel natural and emotionally aligned. V4 avatars are available for both high-impact scripted videos and fully interactive visual agent experiences, offering the most lifelike communication possible.

Scalable consistency
Avatars deliver the same high-quality performance every time. Whether embedded in videos or used as interactive agents, they ensure on-brand communication at global scale.
