Huge market about to unlock here!

Atmee v2 is a real-time avatar model for live video agents. It creates any character from one image and 10 seconds of audio. They report that it runs up to 50x faster than video models like Seedance 2.5 and Wan 3.0.

Text and voice work well today. Talking to an agent face-to-face feels a lot more natural, especially for tutors, coaches, and support agents.
