So yesterday we may have mentioned that we’re working on real-time 3D calls with AI Companions.
Some of you had questions.
Fair enough.
Here’s another tiny look at what we mean by 3D character.
And remember, this isn’t meant to be a character standing there playing canned animations while an AI talks.
The goal is a character that is present in the conversation: listening, reacting, looking at you, expressing emotion and communicating with more than just words.
All in real time.
We’re getting dangerously close to letting some of you try it. 👀
3D Calls Alpha coming soon, in September 2026 on Imagiportal.
We’re working on something new for ImagiPortal right now: real-time 3D calls with AI characters.
The idea is pretty simple: instead of chatting with a character or watching a generated video, you actually call them and see their 3D avatar in real time while you talk. They can speak, react, move, look at you, and of course remember who you are and what happened before.
We’re preparing the first characters for it now, and while working on them I started wondering what actually matters most here.
Would you genuinely want to call an AI character?
And if yes, what would make it feel worth calling instead of just continuing the chat?
For me, I think voice and facial reactions are important, but continuity might matter even more, the feeling that this is the same character you were talking to yesterday, just now they’re sitting there in front of you.
Curious what everyone here thinks.
