Lemon Slice 2 turns any single image into a real time, talking AI avatar

Lemon Slice 2 transforms any single image—including portraits, illustrations, or artwork—into a real-time talking avatar that can hold conversations without requiring video training or custom setup. The technology uses a diffusion transformer to generate live facial animations, hand gestures, and body movements frame-by-frame, available through both an API for developers and a simple website widget. With $10.5 million in seed funding, the company envisions applications in education, retail, and healthcare while implementing safety measures to prevent misuse.
