@joshua_xu Hi, I am very interested and eager to try the new Interactive Avatars.
I use Canva and that was my introduction to your company. I have an idea for your product, and the future of your company in the field of AI.
It's not a new idea, but it's well thought-out and properly motivated.
@chrismessina haha, yes. I gave them permission. I also realize I'm opening myself up to the trolls. 😅
This was fun! the visual element is super realistic and I can see this only getting more polished. Halfway through my demo, the virtual Ryan I was speaking to developed an Australian accent, but was soon corrected. Unless...he really does have an accent o_O
Congratulations on the launch! This seems to be pretty interesting. What are the options to import the person's knowledge into it? Can I connect my Obsidian MD notes or Notion so it uses specific content from it? Thanks.
@semanser Hey Andriy - for now, it's only text, but we definitely are considering adding the ability to upload files and add links to inform the knowledge base as well. As with all LLM-prompting, it's a bit of trial and error! Let us know how it goes!
@semanser @alindsay77 Similar question, this seems like a RAG Light model which is very cool but it would be great to have an API to a more expansive knowledge base (hugging face integration maybe). Also is this one level down from the streaming Avator?
@alindsay77 is there a hard limit to the length of the text one can upload for the avatar’s knowledge?
Hey Product Hunt community! I’m Wayne, (newly) Chief Innovation Officer of HeyGen, and I’m super pumped to show you some new tech we’ve been working on recently.
🥇 First off — thanks for supporting us. To show our gratitude, everyone who signs up in the next week will receive 1 free interactive avatar! Just sign up today, no code necessary.
🤝 Ok so, Interactive Avatar is the culmination of many new technologies that we’ve added on top of our best-in-class Instant Avatars. With just 3 minutes of footage, you can train your avatar to look and sound just like you!
🧠 Not only does it look and sound like you, it even knows the same things that you know. Train your Interactive Avatar with a specific persona, knowledge, instructions, even a specific goal. That way you can stay confident that your digital twin is living up to your expectations no matter where they are.
👨💻 Embed your Interactive Avatar anywhere on the web with just a few clicks. That means you can train it on HeyGen, embed it onto your site, and it will stay awake to help your customers 24/7.
👋🏻 Demo our Interactive Avatars with two people you might recognize: Ryan Hoover, founder of Product Hunt, and Baron Davis, 2x NBA All-Star. Have a conversation with them as if you’re talking to them 1:1, it’s truly magical.
Thank you so much for supporting this launch and for trying out the demos! Please tell us how we can improve or for any future use cases you’d want to see, your feedback is truly meaningful for us. Have a great day!
@_wangliang_ have I run a leading live shopping platform called drip. Have been really enjoying using heygen's product + would like to use an API for the URL to Ad to generate short videos for our own products. Any sense on when this will be avialable?
@_wangliang_ What about those of us who have been loyal users of HeyGen? :) How do we get a free interactive avatar?
@rc_bc Hi Bonnie, yes you have a free Interactive Avatar too! Please log on to labs.heygen.com/interactive-avatar to create one and let us know what you think!
@javaughn12 Hi Javughn, thanks for your feedback! We're working on URL to Video too, will be offering it in a better shape plus API ability, please stay tuned!
It dosent worked with me. I did all the process, recorded all the videos (including the consent one) the loager loaded and them nothing happened. clicked on the logo and took me to homepage.
@mauricio_tonon Hi Mauricio, it takes about 24 hours for your Interactive Avatar to be created!
Fascinating talking with the virtual @rrhoover. Since I've been doing a podcast with ChatGPT as a co-host for the past 7 months, I decided to see how it felt interviewing the virtual Ryan. You can see the result here:
Jump to around 3:15 if you want to skip the intro and get straight to the interview.
Like someone else mentioned, he gets an Australian accent at points. Also, there's still enough lag sometimes for the experience to feel choppy. It probably works great if you're in San Francisco, but my guess is that more infrastructure work is needed to roll this out worldwide.
@fastfedora1 ha! That's hilarious. I'll forward this Ryan to all future podcast requests. :)
This is so freaking cool! So excited about this possibilities this opens up.
Would be cool if there's a way we can request avatars to get made of our favorite celebrities 😆
I love the potential of these interactive avatars! I want one to attend all my meetings for me! The pace of Heygen's innovation is pretty incredible.
Congrats to Joshua and team (especially Alec who has tirelessly supported our team since beta launch)! We are launching our learning platform at several universities in a few weeks and have been with HeyGen since the beginning on this project. We’re excited to keep pushing its limit and to a long relationship with HeyGen! Great work, team! Congrats again on your launch!!
This is such a fun and interactive way to engage with an avatar. The free offer for a limited time is a great incentive. Congratulations on the release!
Hallo,
Ich bin Frank aus Deutschland und ich habe heute den neuen interaktiven Avatar "Agent" getestet. Ich muss sagen, ich bin begeistert! Die Benutzeroberfläche ist intuitiv, und die Interaktivität ist beeindruckend. Es fühlt sich an, als ob man mit einer echten Person spricht.
Ich kann mir viele spannende Anwendungsfälle vorstellen, und ich denke, dass diese Technologie das Potenzial hat, die Art und Weise, wie wir kommunizieren, zu revolutionieren.
Vielen Dank an das Team für diese großartige Innovation!
Gruß Frank
HeyGen
