After Google acquired my AR startup, I started thinking about the next interface, this time for AI. Text and voice work fine, just like DOS did before the Mac. But nothing’s more intuitive than face to face.
After two years of research, today we’re launching Atmee v2: a real-time avatar model that makes live video agents feel truly life-like.
• Any character from 1 image + 10s of audio
• Contextual expressions, gestures, even interacting with the environment
• Live video calls, voice only, or video generation
At its core, Atmee v2 is a video foundation model, it can render anything, but it’s built to excel at characters, which is what video models like Seedance 2.5 and Wan 3.0 are mostly used for. In comparison:
Atmee v2
• Up to 50x faster
• 10-100x cheaper
Build tutors, sales coaches, support agents, companions, game characters, even whole living worlds. The interface after text and voice starts today.
@thsottiaux honestly it would be nice if you all were more into more Appealing characters for the dots, they make sense for the name but are kind of boring, how about some anime waifus? I asked my dot to make something and she changed it, works for the pets too
I have been working casually on this app for a few months, And I think I have it in a state where I can finally talk and share about it.
The app is called Pluriview. It lets you have multiple windows at the same time in a canvas. I've been working on this as a personal project because I like to have open and see multiple stuff at the same time, letting me check different things all in one place. I thought maybe other people would like it too, which is why I decided to start sharing it here.
This app is good especially for screen sharing (like in Discord). You can screen share Pluriview, and inside the app you can show your games and listen to music at the same time (since you can share the audio as well), you can even play videos and add images in there as well.
The app is free and you can download it on GitHub
it is obviously trivial relative to everything else, but the fact that astra can make me whatever fun little game i can imagine and i can be playing it a few minutes later is so cool
Because we are beyond happy to have Astra rolled out today ahead of schedule and you have been super patient with us (not really, but it’s ok!)… we will do the full banked reset today too for all Plus, Pro and Business users. Lands end of day.
Happy Astra day and enjoy a phenomenal weekend.
PS: If you create the account or upgrade before 8pm PT you will get it too. Still time!
We will give one banked reset for every day you don't have access to Astra on your paid ChatGPT plan, starting today. Team is moving mountains to give access as fast as we can.
First one will land in ~ 3 hours. There is still time to create your account if you don't have one.
