The Next Generation of Digital Humans

Enterprise-ready V4 expressive avatars for humanlike realtime interactions and consistent, high-fidelity video at scale.

High-fidelity avatars for every use case

D-ID V4 Expressive Avatars bring an unprecedented level of realism and emotional range to enterprise communication.

They enhance both interactive conversations and scripted video content, ensuring messages feel natural, engaging, and aligned with your brand.

Two-way interactions

 The avatar automatically delivers the voice inflection and facial expressions suitable for the moment, to match the desired tone.

Scripted videos

You get to choose from multiple sentiments to match context.

For both use cases, V4 avatars provide sharper lip sync and more accurate facial nuance for a natural, trustworthy delivery.

 

Trained on performances captured from professional actors and optimized for lower latency and stronger visual control, V4 adapts cleanly to your intended messaging, so every message stays on-brand, lifelike, and scalable.

What’s new in V4?

  • Selectable sentiments to match the moment.
  • More humanlike realism with richer facial nuance and expression.
  • Sharper lip sync for clearer, more believable delivery.
  • Lower latency for smoother real-time conversations in visual agents.
  • Improved listening and speaking states for more lifelike presence during real-time interactions.

  • Better visual control across framing and formats for consistent results across poses, dimensions, and channels.

  • Optional camera activation to give the agent more contextual awareness.
  • Media display mode enabling the agent to share videos, images or charts throughout the live conversatio

 

How it works

In real-time applications such as qualification calls, customer support, or training platforms, V4 Expressive Avatars are integrated directly into the visual agent experience.

A conversational AI or LLM orchestrates which sentiment to display at each turn based on context and intent. The avatar’s facial expression and vocal delivery update seamlessly in real time, maintaining sub 0.5 second latency throughout the interaction.

Enable the camera to give your more contextual awareness. Upload media assets like videos or images that your agent can display. Set up web hooks to enable your agent to take actions in digital space.
