About D-ID
D-ID made still photos speak before it was cool, and that Live Portrait tech still powers museums, marketing, and memory projects. Its focus now is conversational: real-time streaming avatars that face customers as AI agents on websites, kiosks, and apps, with an API developers actually like. Avatar realism trails HeyGen for produced video, but for live interaction D-ID is the specialist.
