📝 TL;DR Digital avatar startup Lemon Slice just raised $10.5 million to bring ultra realistic AI video avatars to websites and products from a single photo. Think chatbots and agents that do not just reply in text, they look like a real person talking to you in real time. 🧠 Overview Lemon Slice is building Lemon Slice 2, a large video diffusion model that turns one image into a talking avatar that can sit on top of any AI agent or knowledge base. The company says the model is powerful enough to livestream at around 20 frames per second on a single GPU and flexible enough to play almost any role. With fresh funding and heavyweight backers behind them, they are aiming to become core infrastructure for the next wave of interactive AI experiences. 📜 The Announcement The company announced a $10.5 million seed round to scale its digital avatar platform. The funding will go toward hiring engineering and go to market teams and paying the substantial compute bill for training and running its models. Lemon Slice is already working with organisations across education, language learning, e commerce and corporate training, although it is not naming customers yet. ⚙️ How It Works • Single image to live avatar - Lemon Slice 2 creates a digital avatar from just one picture, then animates it so it can speak and react in sync with an AI agent’s responses. • Runs on modest hardware - The team says the model has around 20 billion parameters yet can stream video at roughly 20 frames per second on a single GPU, which matters for cost and scalability. • API and embeddable widget - Companies can integrate avatars via an API or a simple widget that drops onto their site so they can add a “face” to existing chatbots without building custom video tech. • Human and non human characters - The system can generate realistic humans or stylised characters so brands can choose between a person like guide, a mascot or something more playful.

I noticed a message at the bottom of my ChatGPT today, so I clicked it, and the feedback about myself was fascinating! 👀 I created this video to take you through it (I watched it first to make sure there wasn't anything too crazy in there. 🫣🤭) What feedback did ChatGPT have about you in your "Year in Review"? 🤔🤗
