How Beyond Presence works

With Speech-to-Video, a developer streams audio from their own voice stack and receives avatar video frames in return. With Managed Agents, Beyond Presence runs the voice, vision and memory pieces end to end. Audio and video transport uses LiveKit or Pipecat, and Python and JavaScript SDKs are available, along with iframe embedding for web apps.

Who uses Beyond Presence?

The vendor lists HR automation, customer support, sales, e-learning, healthcare and coaching as key industries. Developers building voice agents who want a face on top of them are the main users.
