Give the machinea paragraph.Get a presenter.

The presenter lane turns text into a person on screen — a face, a voice, and lipsync that matches to the syllable. Built to put anchors in front of our own newsroom, available to put a presenter in front of anything you write.

WorkingFeeds the newsroom

What it does

On-camera talent, without the camera.

Lipsync

To the syllable

Mouth, jaw and face track the audio precisely enough to survive a viewer’s full attention. The uncanny gap is the whole battle; this lane fights it well.

Voice included

Script to speech to face

Text becomes a natural voice becomes a performing face in one pass. One input — the words — controls the whole presenter.

Always available

Talent that scales

Daily updates, product explainers, multilingual versions of the same brief — the presenter renders as many takes as the business needs, at machine cost.

Head to head

On-camera talent, without the subscription.

The honest line: HeyGen and Synthesia are polished and their avatar catalogues are bigger. The difference is the meter: their presenter is rented per minute, ours is part of the machine.
Filmed in-app

The presenter lane, presenting.

A recording of the app touring itself — which is fitting, because making things speak on camera is the whole product.

The test bench

Type it. Run it. Rate it.

Every product page is getting a live bench wired straight into the machine. You type a prompt, the system answers on this page, and your rating teaches it what the world actually wants built next.

The bench opens for founding members first. Nothing was sent anywhere — this page holds no telemetry. When it goes live, prompts run on our metal, results appear right here, and ratings decide what the fleet learns to do better.

The anchor never sleeps, because she never existed.
