Problem Statement

The current landscape of AI-driven customer support lacks a personalized and engaging user experience. Traditional text-based interactions can feel cold and detached, potentially leading to lower user satisfaction and engagement. Additionally, there is a growing need for users to have a consistent virtual identity across various digital platforms.

Solution

Personalized Avatars: Users can easily design and customize their avatars, reflecting their unique digital identity. From hairstyles to accessories, the options are limitless.

NFT Tokenization: Avatars are securely tokenized on a blockchain, ensuring authenticity and ownership. Users can trade, buy, and sell avatars on our integrated marketplace.

Emotional Expression: Avatars mirror emotions, responding with empathy to user frustration or offering comforting gestures, creating a more human connection.

Multimodal Communication: Seamlessly combining text, speech, and visuals, we offer a comprehensive communication experience that transcends traditional text-based interactions.

They say AI would leave alot of people unemployed overtime but I really don’t agree with that, welcome to Season 5, drum :drum: roll for you and your team. I’ve a few questions;

How does VocalizeMe plan to address potential privacy concerns related to avatar creation and customization?

How does VocalizeMe plan to attract and engage digital artists for collaboration and the creation of unique avatars for the integrated marketplace?

Hello @Prince-Onscolo

Thank you for your question. We’re not creating a ChatGPT tool, instead we’re allowing such tools to integrate our Avatars and humanize the user experience.

So basically artists/creators can create beautiful Avatars and upload it on our marketplace. Those Avatars will be bought by users/companies and integrated with their AI tool. Now that tool will have a live Avatar that speaks - along with lip syncs, accents, etc. - instead of using boring text-based UI that tools like GPT currently have.

I hope this answers your question :slight_smile:
I would request you to watch the demo for a better clarity!

Hi @Nweke-nature1.com, I hope this explains the Humanization of AI. Now that we have the demo live, I request you to take a look for a better understanding :slight_smile:

Thank you @manfred_jr for the amazing welcome!

Avatar creation would be done by artists and they would be created as NFTs, thus it would have thorough transparency in ownership!

Since this will be a marketplace, digital artists will get incentivised for creating avatars everytime the avatars are bought. This would be a good motivation for them to be on the marketplace and create useful, aesthetic avatars.

Hello @DestiM

While I appreciate your suggestion, our project in no way is providing any AI functionalities. It is in fact a marketplace for Avatars created by artists. These avatars can then be integrated with various tools to Humanize the text-based UI.

I hope this answers your query. :slight_smile:

Everyone loves a good incentive, incentives are like passive income. So, incentivizing digital artists through avatar sales is a good approach. Can you elaborate on the processes involved to verify the originality of avatars created by artists before they are tokenized as NFTs? I’m trying to rate the level of authenticity here.

Thank you buddy! :grinning: :grinning:

That is a good question. We can do this with the help of their past works, social media, art galleries, etc. This is also a place where community would play a big role.

So responsible people like yourself would also help keep the artist accountable to avoid any fake/duplicate art from being used.

Thank you! Do give it a try! You’d love it :smiley:

Hi @yashi Thank you for this insightful question. Our project would easily integrate with any AI tools. It is upto the users/companies to decide where they want to integrate it based on their requirements!

I’m sorry, but no idea who she is! :see_no_evil:

Maybe you can add a profile link or something?!
