Meet Copresence: Your Digital Likeness in Minutes
Copresence, founded by Titus Leinster, emerged from research into 3D graphics and computer vision. During the pandemic, as people felt disconnected, Copresence identified a need for authentic digital human representations. While existing technologies required users to visit specialized studios and invest significant time and money, Copresence sought to democratize the process. With their technology, users can now create a realistic, 3D version of themselves in just a few minutes using nothing more than their smartphone.
This technology, driven by advanced computer vision, allows you to take a few photos of yourself through an app. These images are then processed into a 3D mesh and texture, rendering an accurate digital likeness. You don’t need special lighting or a professional setup, making it a highly accessible option for anyone looking to create their own avatar.
How This Partnership Enhances Rapport
Our partnership with Copresence perfectly complements Rapport’s core offerings by enabling users to take their real-time digital experiences to the next level. Rapport users will be able to use Copresence to deploy an AI-powered version of themselves to interact with customers, fans, or clients—all within minutes.
Once integrated into the Rapport platform, your AI twin can connect seamlessly with the latest technology including:
Large language models (LLMs): allowing it to engage in meaningful, unscripted conversations based on your data or content.
Text-to-speech (TTS): allowing you to choose from thousands of natural-sounding voices, or even the option to clone your own.
Speech-to-Text (STT): giving it the ability to listen, process, and respond. With real-time speech recognition, your audience can ask questions or engage in dialogue, in any language and your avatar will interpret and respond accordingly.
Why You Should Consider a Digital Avatar
The future of communication is evolving rapidly, and digital avatars will play a crucial role. Here’s why integrating your digital likeness with Rapport is a game-changer:
Authentic Presence: Using Copresence’s digital characters, you can create an avatar that looks and feels like you. It’s not just about creating a character; it’s about maintaining the authenticity of your interactions.
Scalability: Imagine being available to your audience 24/7, without sacrificing personal time. Your avatar can be present when you aren’t, answering questions, providing support, or even hosting interactive events.
Seamless Integration: Copresence avatars can be directly integrated into the Rapport platform, giving you access to advanced text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and large language model tools. This allows for real-time, emotionally intelligent interactions, making the experience as close to human as possible.
Cost-Effective: Traditional avatar creation methods required expensive studio sessions. Copresence eliminates these barriers, making it affordable and easy for individuals and businesses to create high-quality digital avatars.
What’s Next?
If you’re ready to create your digital twin, head over to Copresence’s website or download their app, and within minutes, you’ll be able to upload your avatar to Rapport. From there, you can start creating interactive, emotionally intelligent experiences that deepen your connection with your audience.
Stay tuned for even more innovations from our partnership with Copresence, as we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in digital interaction.
Welcome to the future of communication—welcome to Rapport and Copresence.
