AI Lunch & Learn: AI Avatars and the future of human<>AI interaction with Awais Shafique
Join us for an engaging lunch & learn session where Awais Shafique – CEO of Beyond Presence – will explore how AI avatars are reshaping human-AI interaction.
After successfully exiting his previous startup to Meta (Presize.ai), Awais recently raised a PreSeed round for Beyond Presence to build hyperrealistic avatars that blur the line between digital and human presence. We'll focus on the real-world applications in customer service, sales, and education, plus the technical challenges of creating avatars indistinguishable from humans.
As always, we'll keep it casual, interactive, and focused on actionable takeaways. We'll take care of the food - please sign up at least one day in advance to help us plan ahead.
