At Terlouw AI we are turning years of R&D on Avatar AI into a fully‑fledged SaaS platform: Persona. Building on our breakthroughs in multimodal conditioning, Persona delivers studio‑quality video avatars and voice synthesis through a web interface or API—no local setup, no GPU maintenance, just instant creation.
What is Persona?
Persona is a cloud service that transforms any script or slide deck into a ready‑to‑publish training, marketing or onboarding video. Users combine three ingredients:
-
Text or voice script – supports 140+ languages & regional accents.
-
Avatar choice – stock library, professional bespoke capture, or AI‑generated look‑alike.
-
Brand layer – themed backgrounds, lower thirds, slides and music.
Click Render, and Persona assembles everything into a 4 K video with perfectly‑synced speech, gestures and micro‑expressions.
Key advances behind Persona
1. Adaptive prosody engine
Our new speech pipeline analyses punctuation, emojis and inline stage directions to drive timing, pauses and emotional inflection automatically. A single paragraph can flow from calm to excited without manual key‑framing.
2. Real‑time gesture synthesis
Persona links voice cadence to head turns, brow raises and hand gestures using a lightweight transformer. Long‑form videos (> 30 min) maintain natural variation so the presenter never drifts into a mechanical loop.
3. One‑shot avatar capture
With one three‑minute video selfie, Persona builds a rigged 3‑D head model, fills 4 K texture maps and calibrates lip landmarks. The result: production‑ready personal avatars in < 10 minutes.
4. Slide‑aware camera logic
For talking‑head‑over‑slides content, Persona’s virtual camera reframes automatically: wide shot during bullet points, gentle zoom for key statements, picture‑in‑picture when a chart appears.
