Hi Deepgram! We’ve been playing around with your awesome voice API, adding a human face to the experience 🔥 Check out the demo by Anas Ahmed 😎
Faceless voice agents became a bit boring. So, I've put together this demo integrating Simli's Realtime Audio-to-Video API with Deepgram's AI Agent Tech Demo! Check it out on GitHub: https://lnkd.in/emv6CcnZ

Part 2: Saturday's AGI House Rag 2.0 Hackathon had so many amazing projects that we couldn't pick just 1 for the Best Use of Unstructured Prize! Our other tied winner was the Ancient Intrigue team, for leveraging Unstructured to parse old historical texts to bring history to life with their interactive avatars: "We wanted to make History come alive, by creating an interactive experience with AI video agents as historical characters while still keeping the interactions factual and grounded in historical context. To achieve this we used Unstructured.io to make books and other unstructured data RAG-ready, DataStax astradb as our vector db, Retell AI for the voice agent and Simli for the video avatar. To demonstrate this concept, we created avatars for Cleopatra and Julius Caesar, and used publicly available books about Caesar's life, like this one: https://lnkd.in/gf5hvazD to populate the rag db." Check out their GitHub repositories for this project: 1. Backend that hosts a custom LLM and retrieves data from an astradb vector db and controls “what the characters say” - https://lnkd.in/gqtf6TSY 2. Frontend that takes care of the Avatar interaction part - https://lnkd.in/gx-8GJnk Congrats to Lars Traaholt Vågnes and Gudmundur Jonsson on their winning submission! Thanks to our demo judges for asking astute questions throughout the 14 demos: Nina Lopatina, Carter Rabasa, Daniel Svonava, Soheil Koushan, and Jigar Bhati And thanks again to Henry Yin at AGI House for hosting and DataStax Superlinked for co-sponsoring such a great event!
Cool to see our CEO Lars Traaholt Vågnes in action at the AGI house🎉🔥
AGI house was a lot of fun! With AI21 Labs new Jamba model, a hybrid SSM and transformer, we could get an insane 256k context window, with low latency inference and great recall. So we made books come a live, using Simli real time avatar API Jamba. Great to spend the day hacking with Justin Jung, Anto Patrex and Anand Vallamsetla on this. Was 10/10 when Mike Knoop showed up to talk about the arc prize. Huge thanks to Henry Yin, Rocky Yu with AGI House making this happen.

We’re building something that has never been built 🧠 And that’s why feedback is absolutely crucial for us. Without honest feedback along the way, it would be impossible for us to build something that users will love. So, when we built our alpha demo, we knew we had to give people an easy way to express their thoughts. And so they did. Here’s what we’ve learned so far: People seem to be having a lot of fun with the demo, saying stuff like: - “Impressive!” - “This is awesome! Feels very real.” - “Yaa it is miracle.....” But...although we love getting positive feedback(<3), we don’t really learn that much from it. So, we need some constructive feedback too. Here’s some of what people said: - “Way too slow” - “facial distortion” - “When can I make my own?” This is what we really need. The insights from these reviews help us identify which areas we need to improve, and trust me; the whole team reads all the feedback that rolls in 🤩 So, what are we doing now? Well, we’re focusing on the most requested things from the constructive feedback: ✅ Latency - Lightning speed is around the corner. ✅ Realism - New models are training right now ✅ Make your own characters - Coming very soon. So, if you need a realistic, real-time AI avatar for your chatbot or LLM, you know where to go 🤝 Head over to our website to try our demo and get in touch: https://www.simli.com/ #ai #generativeai #aiavatars #startup #demo Heidi Frost Eriksen | Lars Traaholt Vågnes | Startuplab | Antler | NORA – The Norwegian Artificial Intelligence Research Consortium | Innovation Norway
