The news

Ojin launches Portrait*, Presence*, and Voice* today: three real-time models that take the digital human across the uncanny valley. Demo: talktolou.ojin.ai.

Press release

BERLIN, May 4, 2026. Digital humans have always had a tell. Today Ojin is launching three real-time models that finally drop it: Portrait*, Presence*, and Voice*. Together they let anyone build a human agent with a face, a body, and a voice that holds up in live conversation. To celebrate, Ojin built the most uncanny demo it could think of: meet Lou, a devil now in residence at talktolou.ojin.ai. Lou is Ojin's playable proof that the full digital human has left the uncanny valley.

["CEO quote on the breakthrough goes here. 1–2 sentences in a confident founder voice. Suggested angle: what it means that the full digital human has finally crossed the uncanny valley, why this is happening at Ojin, and what it unlocks for the people building on the platform."]

The three models

Each one handles a single layer of the digital human, and they are designed to compose.

Face

Ojin Portrait*

The head-and-shoulder model, built for the profile-picture frame. From a single image and a voice track, it generates a face that talks, listens, and reacts in real time, with low enough latency to hold a live conversation.

Body

Ojin Presence*

The full-body model. The same one-shot input produces a full-figure agent that sits, stands, gestures, and moves through a scene without breaking the illusion.

Voice

Ojin Voice*

The voice layer, with multilingual synthesis, voice cloning, and voice design built in. It pairs the face and body with a voice that actually sounds like the person they belong to, in whatever language the conversation needs.

Meet Lou

Lou is a loser middle-management demon. He lives in your browser, he talks back, and he has thoughts (mostly about meetings and his failure in hell). He's lousy at standup, weak on the agenda, fond of low-stakes office mischief, and the last to leave any Slack thread. He shares an office with humans, and yes, he's a handful.
