Earlier quoted context omitted.

curious what avatar you think is poor quality? Or, what you think is poor quality. i want to know :)

Low res and low fps. Not sure if lipsync is poor, or if low fps makes it look poor. Voice sounds low quality, as if recorded on a bad mic, and doesn't feel like it matches the avatar.

thanks for the feedback. that's helpful. Ya, some avatars have worse lip synch than others. It depends a little on how zoomed in you are.

I am double checking now to make 100% sure we return the original audio (and not the encoded/decoded audio).

We are working on high-res.

You could add a Max Headroom to the hn link. You might reach real time by interspersing freeze frames, duplicates, or static.

1) yes on Max Headroom. we are on it. 2) it already is real time...?

Whoops! Mistook the "You're about to speak with an AI."-progress bar for processing delay.

That's super impressive! Definitely one of the best quality conversational agents I've tried syncing A/V and response times. The text processing is running Qwen / Alibaba?

Thank you! Yes, right now we are using Qwen for the LLM. They also released a super fast TTS model that we have not tried yet, which is supposed to be very fast.

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

Makes sense. The init should be about 10s. But, after that, it should be real time. TBH, this is probably a common confusion. So thanks for calling it out.

Where’s the hn playground to grab a free month? I have so many websites that would do well with this!

(We've replaced the link to their homepage ( https://lemonslice.com/ ) with the HN playground at the start of the text above)

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