What is Atmee
Atmee puts a talking video avatar in your product. It holds live, spoken conversations with your users, and you start each one from your own server.
Atmee puts a talking video person, an avatar, into your website or app. Your users talk to it out loud, the way they would on a video call, and it answers in its own voice, with a face that moves as it speaks. You decide who it is, what it knows and where it appears. Atmee runs the speech, the conversation and the video.
What people build with it
- A front desk. A receptionist for a clinic, a hotel or a showroom that greets visitors and answers questions about opening hours, prices and bookings.
- A guide. A product expert on your site that walks a customer through a plan, a feature or a checkout.
- A tutor or coach. A teacher who explains a topic and answers follow-up questions, or a partner for practising a language or an interview.
- An interviewer. A first-round screener that asks every candidate the same questions, at any hour.
How it works
-
Make an avatar. Give it a portrait, a short voice sample and a persona: its name, personality and what it should talk about. Add knowledge files if it should answer from your documents. Do this in Studio or through the API, on one of our two models: Atmee V2, the most human-like, or Atmee V1, at half the credits.
Or let an AI agent do it. With the atmee agent skills and MCP server, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Claude makes the avatar with you in a chat. It can also write the server endpoint and the page that shows the avatar. See Build it with an AI agent below.
-
Start a conversation from your server. When a user wants to talk, your server asks Atmee for a session with your API key. Atmee puts the avatar in a video room and sends back what the page needs to join it.
-
Show it on your page. Your page joins the room and shows the avatar's video. The user talks; the avatar answers.
Each session is paid in credits from your account, by the minute. Your users need no Atmee account and are never charged.
Ways to build
Let Atmee run the conversation
The Session API: Atmee listens, thinks and answers. You write one server endpoint and a page that shows the video.
Keep your own voice agent, add a face
The LiveKit Agents plugin: your agent decides what to say, Atmee renders the avatar saying it.
