Digital Actors


You've heard of animation generators. Pick a character, enter some text, and out pops a talking character video. We do that. But we can also make them interactive. With behaviors defined by scripts, or by an AI, your digital actors can have a mind of their own as they respond to questions and engage in dialog. Known as embodied agents in the literature, we just call them virtual people. And they are now performing real roles as digital brand ambassadors, virtual instructors, coaches, and more.

The People Builder Authoring Tool


Chatbot Scenario Slideshow
The People Builder service lets you build videos and interactive modules featuring digital actors. You can create presentations, simulations, chatbots, and more, using our cast of realistic and cartoon characters. The software selects gestures and emotions to enhance your scripts, and uses high-quality text-to-speech or recorded audio to speak them. You can link your modules to your site using an embed code, or export content to standalone HTML5 and video formats. Some modules support dynamic speech via a javascript API, but otherwise no coding is needed.

You might get a quick start by importing a Powerpoint deck. Add a quiz slide by filling out a form. Get a studio-quality voiceover with our integrated ElevenLabs AI voices. The Builder is all about creating engaging materials with precision and consistency. It's easy to pick up, but offers a powerful and flexible content model that is suitable for projects large and small. Best of all, edits are always quick and easy, so you can keep your materials current. Watch a how-to video, or start creating right now.

The People API


Curious how the People Builder can scale from video generation to "live" digital actors without compromising on realism and smoothness? Hint: our characters do NOT require a live streaming connection, so they can be delivered at a fraction of the cost of our competitors. And now, Media Semantics has partnered with Amazon AWS Marketplace to provide the same technology for your solution.

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

The Chatbot API is a cloud-based Symbolic Natural Language engine that complements Generative AI with fast and precise domain-specific answers, and a framework for remembering users and steering the conversation towards specific goals.

Learn more about our API using our extensive tutorials and github samples. Or talk to us about becoming a Solutions Partner, to gain access to valuable expertise, custom animation, and more.
