Facts checked September 4, 2026
Quick take
A realtime avatar model that can animate a person, illustration, or nonhuman character from one image and connect to an existing voice-agent stack.
Treat the provider's avatar latency as one part of the conversation loop. Confirm output resolution, concurrency, minute accounting, regional processing, and contractual zero-retention before committing.
HeyGen's rendered avatar model for producing polished presenter videos from a short identity recording, script, or supplied audio.
This is rendered video, not a realtime digital person. Establish explicit identity and voice consent and confirm avatar eligibility, 4K pricing, queue time, retention, and API engine selection.
