Viewing profile — lcolucci

I don't think that's the primary purpose of realistic interactive avatars, any more than deception is the purpose of CGI. Deception requires intent to mislead — if users know they'…

Thank you!

Do you think the same about text that is indistinguishable from human-written text (LLM chatbots)? Or voice that is indistinguishable from a human talking? Illegal things, like fra…

This is so obvious now that you say it (* facepalm *). We definitely need to give the LLM context on the appearance (both from the initial image as well as any /imagine updates dur…

Can you help us make him? What's the right voice? https://lemonslice.com/hn

That's super nice of you to say. Thank you!

This is good feedback thanks! The "not patient" feeling probably comes from our VAD being set to "eager mode" so that the latency is better. VAD (i.e. deciding when the human has a…

Well put - and thanks, we'll keep building. Still chasing this level of magic: https://youtu.be/gL5PgvFvi8A?si=I__VSDqkXBdBTVvB&t=173 Not to mention language tutors, training exper…

Good idea. We need to do that. I'm also excited to push the /imagine stuff further and have B-roll interspersed with the talking (like a documentary) or even follow the character a…

The curve is accelerating!

Thank you so much!

whoops I actually did set that on purpose. I guess I like watching things sped up and assumed others did too :) But you can change it.

Thank you! And the cool thing is it's actually a full video world model. We'll expose more of those capabilities soon

That's a good one. I would suggest asking them to integrate with LiveKit. Then it'll be really easy to combine InWorld and LemonSlice.

So cool! I love how he sometimes looks down and over his glasses

I wonder if we should make the UI a more common interface (e.g. "the call is ringing") to avoid this confusion? It's a normal mp4 video that's looping initially (the "welcome messa…

Thank you so much! It's been a lot of fun to build

This is a good point on audio. Our main priority so far has been reducing latency. In service of that, we were deep in the process of integrating Hume's two-way S2S voice model ins…

Thanks Dan! The HN playground let's anyone try out for free without login

Qwen is the default but you can pick any LLM in the web app (though not the HN playground)

what's not working for you?

This comment made my day! So happy you're liking it

haha thank you so much! The team is incredible - small but mighty

Agreed. We were so excited about the results last year and they are SO BAD now by comparison. Hopefully we'll say the same thing again in the couple months

Sorry about the confusion. Video Agents and Creative Studio are two entirely different products. Video Agents = interactive video. Creative Studio = make a video and download it. I…
