Immersive update
Live Avatar in Omni AI Companion
Live Avatar makes the companion feel more immediate by presenting it in an animated form. The movement is there to add presence and warmth to selected moments, while the underlying conversation remains the part you control.
What changed
An animated way to meet the companion
Open Live Avatar in Omni to see the presentation available on your account. The experience gives a still visual identity more expressive presence during an interaction.
Movement as a conversational cue
Animation can make pauses, greetings, and transitions feel less static. It is an optional layer for people who enjoy a livelier room, not a requirement for using the companion.
Why this feature matters
A little movement can help an experience feel like an encounter rather than a page. For some members, that makes it easier to begin a conversation or return to a familiar ritual.
The feature is best understood as atmosphere and presence. It can support engagement, but it does not turn a conversation into a performance or guarantee a particular emotional response.
Feature examples and use cases
- A welcoming hello: Sofia opens Live Avatar at the start of her morning check-in, using the animated greeting as a small transition into the day.
- A playful prompt: Ben uses the mode for imaginative questions where a lively visual presentation matches the spirit of the exchange.
- Trying a new format: Kira compares Live Avatar with regular chat and keeps it for social moments while using text-first conversation for detailed work.
How to use it
- Enter Live Avatar: Open Live Avatar in Omni and review the controls and permissions shown on entry.
- Start with a short exchange: Greet the companion or ask one focused question. This gives you a chance to assess the movement, pacing, and visual comfort on your device.
- Choose the right surface: Continue if the animated presentation helps, or use the navigation to return to chat when the conversation needs a quieter, denser layout.
Tips for a better first try
- Use headphones or a quiet environment if the experience includes sound.
- Give your eyes a break during longer sessions.
- Treat animation as an optional mood-setter, not a substitute for clear prompts.
Limitations and things to know
- Animation and sound behavior may vary by device and current app version.
- Live presentation can use more attention than a text-first surface; it may not be ideal for every task or environment.
Availability
