About Dollyglot
Dollyglot: Real-Time Video Avatars for Conversational AI Characters
Dollyglot is a Y Combinator-backed platform that lets users connect with AI-powered characters-called “Dollies”-through immersive, real-time video calls. Unlike traditional text-based chatbots, Dollyglot brings characters to life using advanced photo-to-video avatar technology, enabling face-to-face conversations where the avatars respond naturally to your voice and expressions. Users can choose from public characters, create their own, and experience interactive storytelling, brainstorming, or companionship in a visually rich, engaging way.
