Hey, uh, is this what we're launching? Hey, I'm right here.
Oh, yeah, that's our Add Me V2. Let me- let me talk to it.
Chen Ping, are you shooting the launch video right now?
Uh, yes, I am. Hey, take a look at our set.
What do you think?
Yeah. That's a lot of lights for one guy in a chair.
Yeah, I know, right? Are you at least going to tell them I run on the most realistic avatar model in the world?
Uh, I will, but that's not the point, and let me explain.
Hey, I'm Chen Ping, CEO of Add Manity. Last time, we sold our AR company to Google.
Today, we're launching Add Me V2, our state-of-the-art real-time avatar model.
It creates an incredibly lifelike avatar you can talk to from just one image and 10 seconds of audio.
For two years, we've worked on one question: What would it take for us to sit face to face with an AI and feel like someone is actually there?
Turns out, looking human was never the point.
It's never about fooling anyone into thinking this AI is a person.
What matters is whether you enjoy talking to it, human-looking, a toy robot, or a cartoon animal.
To do that, we built two models: a body and a brain.
Add Me V2 is the body. It's a real-time video foundation model that runs live.
Causer is the brain, a model that brings context and behavior into the voice, the body, and the response.
That's what makes it lifelike.
To build with Add Me V2, copy/paste one link into your favorite coding agent, and it sets up everything for you.
Then, ship it to any platform.
And it's not just for video calls. For example, you can put a DJ into your music app, train your sales team with a tough buyer, make learning a new subject fun, or guide every visitor through your museum, and even generate whole worlds.
At its core, Add Me V2 is a video foundation model.
That means besides avatars, it can also generate regular video clips, just like C Dance or One.
The difference is that to generate a 10-second video, C Dance takes minutes and dollars, while Add Me V2 does it in seconds for pennies.
That's up to 50 times faster and up to 100 times cheaper.
Add Me V2 is live today. We can't wait to see what you build.
