DigitalU operates the underlying infrastructure for low-latency, photoreal AI avatars — powering consumer, enterprise, and vertical applications at a structural cost advantage.
Avatars are becoming a primitive — like voice, like video, like SMS. The companies that will compound are the ones that own the inference path, not the application skin.
STT → LLM → TTS → lip-sync, end-to-end on hardware we operate. No commodity API tax. No latency stacking. One vendor, one cost curve.
Real-time is a hard constraint, not a feature. Conversations break at ~700ms. Our pipeline sits under 500ms, end-to-end, at production load.
$0.011/min self-hosted vs. $0.13–$0.20/min for commercial APIs. A 12–18× margin moat that compounds with every minute of usage.
We don't sell SDKs into a void. We launch verticals — creator economy, real estate, enterprise — to validate the stack and seed B2B demand.
