About RealAvatar:
At RealAvatar we build verified AI Avatars in partnership with Public Figures. We are the Verified Avatar choice in a world of deepfakes & poorly trained chatbots.
Founded by Andrew Ng and his fund AI Fund, and led by Jeff Daniel, RealAvatar is developing quickly in this fast-paced space. Whereas 1st gen chatbot makers like Character.AI and Chai build text/audio chatbots with no visual avatar, RealAvatar builds Visual/Audio/Text Avatars for real-time conversations.
