## About Protoface

Protoface adds high-quality realtime avatars to your AI app or agent, with a drop-in integration for your existing stack.

It converts your agent's audio into realtime face video, so it works across languages with both speech-to-speech realtime models and STT/LLM/TTS pipelines.

Protoface's next-generation models need only a single input image and spin up custom avatars in seconds. The majority of existing low-cost realtime avatar approaches rely on Gaussian-based models, which are much slower to generate custom avatars and lower in fidelity. Protoface solves this problem.

## Start here

Protoface works with any stack through the REST API, and integrates with many
voice AI platforms, SDKs, and frameworks. The [Quickstart](/quickstart) walks
through a complete, runnable agent in a few minutes, and
[More Integrations](/guides/more-integrations) lists every supported platform.
