Akapulu Labs - Build real-time AI avatars that talk, see & take action

We're building a managed platform for conversational avatars. You can launch a virtual AI assistant that joins a live call with your users, responds naturally, and follows your defined behavior. During the call, the avatar follows your configured behavior, including: global role prompts for overall persona and tone, stage-specific instructions for each part of the conversation, and tool access for actions like transitions, endpoints, knowledge, or vision Full code-included tutorial linked!
