Creating a believable AI avatar used to be a chore—think hours of video recording, tedious data uploads, and complex training processes. Pollo AI, an all-in-one AI video and image creation platform, says that era is officially over with the launch of its next-generation AI avatar generator.

Now, users can transform any image into a custom, speaking AI avatar in minutes. No pre-training. No pre-recorded footage. Just upload an image, add your script or audio, and the platform handles the rest—producing avatars that talk, gesture, and emote with uncanny realism.

“The need for pre-recorded videos or pre-training data is a thing of the past,” said Janet Smith, Pollo AI’s team leader. “We’re now in a new era of instant, effortless avatar creation.”

Longer Videos, More Realism

While many avatar tools top out at 30-second clips, Pollo AI pushes the limit with videos up to two minutes—complete with near-perfect lip sync, expressive facial movement, and even realistic hand gestures.

That opens the door to richer storytelling, whether it’s AI-powered explainer videos, product promotions, educational content, or even quirky formats like “AI baby podcasts” and talking pet videos.

Versatility for Creators and Brands

Pollo AI lets users choose from a library of pre-made avatars or craft entirely custom ones. Voiceovers can be generated with the platform’s natural-sounding AI or uploaded directly by the user. The tool also supports fine-tuning of speech pacing, emotion, and performance style—making it as suitable for polished brand campaigns as it is for creative social media projects.

The result is faster, more cost-efficient production without high-end video equipment or professional actors—potentially cutting production time from days to minutes.

Smith sums it up simply: “Just upload your image, input your script or audio, and you can start sharing realistic and relatable AI avatar videos that connect with audiences and maximize ROI.”
