Pipecat
Protoface brings synchronized realtime avatars to Pipecat-powered voice AI pipelines.
Add a Realtime Face to Your Pipecat Voice Agent
Protoface adds high-fidelity realtime avatars to Pipecat pipelines. Drop ProtofaceVideoService into your existing voice agent, after TTS or a realtime speech model, and turn agent audio into synchronized avatar video while Pipecat continues handling transport, orchestration, STT, LLM, and TTS.
Build in Minutes, Scale Affordably
Start with the Protoface Pipecat quickstart/plugin: install it, add your PROTOFACE_API_KEY and PROTOFACE_AVATAR_ID, and run the WebRTC example. The plugin works with standard Pipecat pipelines and realtime speech-to-speech services.
Protoface starts free and scales from $0.01/min on paid plans.
Where Realtime Avatars Help
Realtime avatars make Pipecat agents feel more present in customer support, healthcare intake, tutoring, language learning, sales enablement, recruiting, training, virtual events, creator tools, and in-product onboarding.
