What is AI Avatar?

AI avatars enable creators to produce talking-head style videos without being on camera. The technology uses generative models to create a realistic or stylized human figure that speaks the provided script. Avatars can be based on real people (with consent), stock personas, or fully synthetic characters. They are used for corporate training, social media content, educational videos, and marketing. Quality varies widely: premium avatars are nearly indistinguishable from real footage, while lower-quality options have visible artifacts. AI avatars differ from faceless videos in that they include a visible presenter, just not the creator themselves.
