Atmanity
Agentic AI lab · Founded 2024

Intelligence you can look in the eye.

AI agents went from text to voice. Video is next.
Atmanity builds the models that make a video agent behave like someone, not something.

Our first model, Atmee v1, is live today at atmee.ai ↗

Who we are

An agentic AI lab building the foundation models
for live video agents.

Founded in 2024 by a team of AI PhDs whose last company was acquired by Google. We are training the most human-like real-time human foundation model: agents that move, listen and react naturally, each with a personality of its own. The result is AI you can face, not just read or hear.

What we build

Presence and personality, generated live.

01

Real time, on one GPU

Face, voice and body, live on a single GPU.

02

Any form, any style

Photoreal, stylized or non-human. All alive.

03

Distinct personalities

Not one script in many faces. Behavior is what people trust.

04

Our own data engine

atmee.ai feeds back thousands of hours of real conversations every month.

The models

Bringing AI to life, by giving it
a presence and a mind of its own.

Causeur

Behavior model

The behavior model that brings an agent alive. Personality, emotion, timing and active listening, moment to moment.

Atmee v2

Real-time human foundation model

A foundation model for live avatars. Face, body, voice, expression and emotion, generated together in real time.

Output
LIVE

Live video agent

Rendered in real time, on one GPU

Causeur decides, Atmee v2 renders. One agent that looks, sounds and behaves like someone.
