Didymo / Avatar

Meet a digital twin face to face

A live face on a phone or laptop screen, answering from approved material, for the conversations that need one.

What the avatar is

The twin, with the face of the person

The avatar puts a live face on the same conversation. The visitor sees the professional’s likeness speak the answer, on the phone or laptop screen they already have.

A teacher on screen, mid-sentence.

A supervisor speaks from a site office.

A manager in a boardroom, mid-conversation.

A luminous pale-blue wireframe and point-cloud portrait of a woman, head and shoulders, against a deep dark background, the digital scaffold behind an AI twin. — A wireframe portrait, head and shoulders.

Before the face, the structure

Before a twin has a likeness it has approved knowledge, boundaries and the character built around them. The face is the last layer, and every answer it speaks comes from the approved material behind it.

A woman gestures toward a blank mannequin head on a bench while a colleague holds a clipboard, screens of soft colour behind them. — Colleagues review a blank model head.

Consent and likeness, settled first

A twin of a real person needs consent, copyright and governance settled before it speaks. Data is processed in the locations and under the terms set out in our governance.

When to use the avatar

For the conversations that need a face

Some visitors want to see who they are talking to: a first meeting, a sensitive question, an introduction before the real one.

A professional faces her own digital twin. An AI roleplay scenario for digital twins. — A professional faces her own digital twin.

An introduction before the introduction

A prospective client, student or member meets the professional’s face and manner before they meet the person, and arrives at the real meeting already oriented.

A seated consultation: an older person wears a headset beside a face while a human adviser sits in the room, keeping a person in the loop. — An adviser sits in, beside the screen.

A face that knows when to step aside

The avatar answers from approved material and hands over to the person when a conversation needs them, with the context carried across. It can book that time from inside the conversation.

The other ways in

Same twin, same material, a different door

The avatar is one way into the same conversation. A visitor can move to chat, a voice call or a booked meeting without starting again.

A message typed into a phone.

Chat. Type the question and read the answer.

Book. Real time with the person the twin represents.

The live instance

Questions

What buyers ask about the avatar

Short answers, one to a row.

Is the avatar live?

It is. The avatar speaks each answer as the conversation happens, drawn from the approved material, in the twin’s own voice.

Who decides what the avatar may say?

Does the visitor need a headset?

The avatar runs on a phone or laptop screen in the browser, with nothing to install. Headset versions of a talking character belong to PTR’s XR work.
