Overview
Anam Labs creates real-time, photorealistic video avatars that turn conversational AI into face-to-face digital interactions. Its CARA foundation video model delivers conversations with about 180 ms latency and is accessible via API and a JavaScript SDK, supporting 70+ languages and integration with external LLMs like GPT-4o or Claude. Developers can use 3D, anime, photorealistic avatars, or upload custom images to build avatar-driven video bots that can call tools and reference knowledge bases. The platform targets enterprises with SOC II and HIPAA compliance, multi-region infrastructure, and customers in regulated industries, aiming to enable around-the-clock avatar-led communication across customer support, sales, education, training, and healthcare.
