Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Nikita, co-founder and CEO. We are super excited to show you SpiritMe! We have worked hard on the technology and now it’s time to share it. Our goal is to create something that benefits you, and you are the reason we're doing all of this. ✨ Our team has been working with digital avatars for several years. We started SpiritMe because we wanted to learn how to convert the essence of being human into a digital form. Text-to-video services with avatars do exist now, but we decided to focus on creating user avatars, a process which should be both simple and fast. Why use strangers for your content when it could be you who presents it? The problem with digital avatars is that they lack charisma. These days, it may be hard to tell whether a video is real or synthesized, but watching the latter for more than a few minutes is sooo boring. That’s why we wanted to make an engine of personalized facial expressions. With it, the avatars can change their face based on the context. We are a small technical team, and we would love to hear how you would use our technology. Feel free to reach out for a Zoom call, or tell us right here in the comments. We have two promos this month: - Upon registering, you will be able to create three minutes of video with our demo avatars for free and see what they’re like. - Also, we have reduced our prices by 50%, so if you subscribe now, you will always enjoy this discount. P.S. It's incredible to think about how quickly our world is changing! When we started working on SpiritMe, ChatGPT didn’t exist yet. Now, if you combine the two, you can create fully generative content! It seems like we are in the beginning of something colossally huge 🔥 Write us: totruok@spiritme.tech

@nikita_bogdanov1 Congratulations on the launch, It is a really interesting idea and greatly increase productivity, great job on SpiritMe!
Anton Trunin
@nikita_bogdanov1 when will we see the first fully AI Instagram blogger?
Yulia K
@nikita_bogdanov1 Amazing work! It’s gonna be much more easier to create content for instagram or even YouTube! Also, I’m very happy to take my small part in such project!
Eldar Esiev
@nikita_bogdanov1 How can I use my Avatar to create educational content?
Alex Kostin
@nikita_bogdanov1 @anton_trunin technically it is possible, what kind of influencer could that be?
Dmitry Sytsevich
How's everything founders ! Well done on getting SpiritMe on the Product Hunt! Looks like you've did a great job! I'll try it. What inspired you to create it?
Vladimir Ivashkin
@dmitry_sytsevich thank you! we looked at voice assistants and wondered why there is no video? also we watch a lot of talking head videos on youtube ^_^
Vladimir Ivashkin
@dmitry_sytsevich @neurodeus yes, a couple of years ago I had negotiations with one big tech voice assistant company but they don't get it =( Now, when technologies provide realistic picture it could be the next big thing...
Alexey Levushkin
@neurodeus Yes, Sam was popular. Add to this technology the appearance of your favorite character from the movie and it will break the market. This technology will not leave anyone indifferent.
Iolanta Bogdaniva
Hallo, Nikita Bogdanov! Hallo, Prodct Hunt! And certainly, hallo SpiritMe! The technology is wondeful, it has lots of possibilities in various spheres. I want to stress that it may be very useful and applicable even in teaching and learning. The name of the avatar is also promising , it reminds you of a human being and of the power of man over nature. I have some questions: have you thought of using SpiritMe in education? Does it requre some special "training"?
Alex Kostin
@new_user__0512023ace5691a5979b93a hello, Iolanta! Thank you for the feedback. We are considering many options, including education. Are you an educator yourself?
Iolanta Bogdaniva
@alex_kostin Yes, I am. My idea is to use SpiritMe in teaching people correct pronunciation. If the avatar can find the phonetic mistake, classify it and explain the way to correct it. Maybe what I want is too much at this stage of the investigation but the program of this kind will be very helpful and demanding.
Alex Kostin
@new_user__0512023ace5691a5979b93a thank you for sharing, this is a very fresh idea indeed.
Alina Gerasimova
Wow, SpiritMe sounds like an incredibly exciting and innovative text-to-video platform! I'm already enthusiastic about trying it out and creating my own digital avatar that can speak my words with my own voice and emotions. The fact that it only takes five minutes to create an avatar is incredible, and I love the idea of being able to see myself come to life on the screen. The demo avatars are a fantastic way to test out the platform, and I can't wait to see how my personalized avatar looks and sounds when I type in my own text. It's amazing that SpiritMe can capture my own voice and emotions, making the avatar truly feel like it's me speaking. Overall, I think SpiritMe is an excellent tool for creators who want to take their content to the next level. The user-friendly interface and ability to create a personalized avatar so quickly make it accessible for anyone to use, regardless of their skill level. I'm already itching to try it out, and I think this platform has the potential to revolutionize the way we create video content!!!!😍😍😍😍
Vladimir Ivashkin
@alina_gerasimova_ooo_hoffy_ @neurodeus unfortunately, you can generate videos with avatars only in the web version for now: https://studio.spiritme.tech/. But we will sure support it in our app soon
Sergey Afanasyev
I've just tried this product and I must say I'm impressed! The level of customization is fantastic - not only was I able to create an avatar that looked exactly like me in a couple of clicks, but it also mirrored my emotions and facial expressions! The interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy to navigate and create videos quickly. And the best part is that the end result is absolutely stunning! The avatar's ability to use emotion takes your breath away! What's even more exciting is how useful this product can be in real-life production. Imagine being able to create a digital avatar to narrate your explainer videos or walk your audience through a product demo. Or, using a personal digital avatar to deliver important announcements or host virtual events. The possibilities are endless, and this product makes it all possible in a simple and affordable way. I can see this product being a huge hit among content creators, marketers, and anyone looking to add a personalized touch to their video content. I highly recommend giving it a try - you won't be disappointed!
Vladimir Ivashkin
@sergey_afanasyev thank you for the feedback! 👉👈
Vladimir Ivashkin
@sergey_afanasyev as you widely used it – what was the most difficult past of the process we should improve?
Sergey Afanasyev
@vlivashkin The only thing I can think of is preparing myself for the shoot. I spent some time picking out the clothes, the subjects behind me, and creating beautiful lighting in the room. But I think that's the time I would have had to spend anyway if I were recording myself on video. It would have been nice to have a short tutorial with information on how best to prepare for the shoot.
Vladimir Ivashkin
@sergey_afanasyev we're working right now on improving the shooting process. Including adding lots of helpful hints at all stages of creating an avatar. How in-depth does the pre-shoot description have to be for it to really help you?
Sergey Afanasyev
@vlivashkin I could use tips on simple light settings, so that the face looks better and emotions are well read
Marina Bessmertnaya
Looks promising✨☺️ The shooting process took me only 10 minutes. I'm really waiting to see my own digital avatar!
Vladimir Ivashkin
@immortal_macko thank you! your avatar will be ready soon 🌻
Marina Bessmertnaya
@vlivashkin I want to use an avatar for my blog. Is it possible to generate videos with different backgrounds? Thank you in advance for the answer!
Vladimir Ivashkin
@immortal_macko yes, you can capture your image using the green screen. Then you will be able to put any background you want when generating a video. A picture, a video, anything 🙂
Marina Bessmertnaya
@vlivashkin I would like to create videos with my own voice. Can you digitize it too?
Vladimir Ivashkin
@immortal_macko yes we can, but we have no interface for it yet =( you need to record 5 minutes of your voice to a good mic and send it and account information to team@spiritme.tech
Kalan
Wow. Just… wow. I’m looking at the first video here in the reel and I literally can’t tell that it’s not real — and I thought that I’m good at spotting subtleties like those that should be there. What will the world look like when everyone has their own avatar?
Vladimir Ivashkin
@enhydra we'll see!
Alexey Levushkin
@enhydra This is a very acute question that is asked to us literally at every pitch. But there is no definite answer to it yet. Some people believe that this can be easily determined by eye. Others think that there will be some technology that recognizes and tags all such videos on the Internet. The future will show.
Marina Bessmertnaya
@enhydra Well, in my opinion the widespread adoption of avatars, where everyone has their own personalized digital representation, could have significant impacts on society and how we interact with each other. It could bring many benefits, but also poses challenges and risks. It will be important to carefully consider and address these issues as the technology continues to evolve 🤔
Paul Okhotin
Congratulations on your launch! I am sure that this product will help facilitate the creation of conferences and make speakers' presentations more vivid and memorable. And I also hope that the product will help people with an emotional block to prepare for the performance. People will become less worried and will practice smiling on their avatar :)
Vladimir Ivashkin
@paulokhtn sure thing! Capture of a real talking head video is painful for me personally, because I need to control myself every second. This is way easier to generate it, especially for non-professional speakers
Marina Bessmertnaya
@paulokhtn I personally really liked the idea that you can dress up once and reuse this visual image. And you don't have to worry about it anymore. Very convenient 😁
Timofey Shmatovich
Spoooky, but interesting! 😳 Congrats on the launch! 🎉
Alex Kostin
@ultrablaster thanks a lot!
Konstantin Ryabinin
Fascinating tool! It's impossible to stop using it ❤️ I Wish you 1st place! Such a fresh idea!
Vladimir Ivashkin
@new_user__051202343ab09c529856ea5 thanks Konstantin! sure we're not the first talking head generation service, but we are the best one 😎
Konstantin Ryabinin
@vlivashkin for sure that's what I'm trying to say!
Vladimir Ivashkin
@new_user__051202343ab09c529856ea5 @neurodeus oh wow that's unusual. you should definitely send us your iphone model and account info to team@spiritme.tech
Anton Shakirov
Great to realize that such services are already public. Nikita, you guys are great!
Vladimir Ivashkin
@antonshakirov future is here! thanks!
Kirill Krotko
Looks incredible. You are definitely accelerating progress and bringing the future closer! Good luck in development!
Vladimir Ivashkin
@kir_krotko thanks! let's make a future
Nitin Rana
The demo avatars are really impressive. It's a great way to get a feel for the platform before committing to creating your own avatar.
Vladimir Ivashkin
@nitin_rana3 thank you for the feedback! We will add more common avatars soon!
Vladimir Ivashkin
@neurodeus unfortunately, you can generate videos with avatars only in the web version for now: https://studio.spiritme.tech/. We will support it in our app as soon as possible
Akash Dixit
As someone who is not comfortable on camera, this is the perfect solution. I can still create videos with a personal touch, without actually appearing on camera myself.
Vladimir Ivashkin
@akash_dixit3 yes! I believe our service will help non-professional creators to add visual content and engage their auditory
Kalan
@akash_dixit3 As I understand, you still have to spend around five minutes on camera to have the footage necessary to become an avatar. But the good thing that nobody gets to see that footage!
Sergei Ivliev
🧐 Good find
I have paid for the subscription, but the upload failed. Now the app asks for payment once again to retry the upload.
Vladimir Ivashkin
@sergei_ivliev oh our bad! We received your mail, working on the solution and will keep you updated
Vladimir Ivashkin
@sergei_ivliev upd: capture was successfully uploaded, so there is no problem with creating an avatar for you
Olga Kadochnikova
I chose among 20+ avatar services to shoot videos for my blog. I chose this service because of the cool emotion work. Brilliant work! Looking forward to my avatar
Vladimir Ivashkin
@olga_kadochnikova thank you, you avatar will be ready soon! ^_^
Vladimir Ivashkin
@neurodeus for now we need at maximum 11 days, and we constantly working on shorten the avatar creation time
Vladimir Ivashkin
@neurodeus your avatar will be available at https://studio.spiritme.tech/ in your account
Arnold Kavke
omg ai will capture the world soon 😱😱😱
Vladimir Ivashkin
@imarny what's so scary in it?
Arnold Kavke
@vlivashkin startups like this replace real people emotions by digits, feels like humanity goes a wrong road
Vladimir Ivashkin
@imarny every technological achievement is a tool, nor good or bad. We replace monotonous job and give creators an opportunity to spend more time on really creative tasks
Arnold Kavke
@vlivashkin sure, insturments are great and can automate some trivial stuff, and can add new experiences to edtech, and maybe add some motion to wikipedia
Anastasiia Kazban
Well done! SpiritMe is a new breaking-through tool that brings content creation to another level! It looks amazing what you've done - the facial expressions are so natural. I guess avatars will help to create even more interesting and fascinating content 😎
Vladimir Ivashkin
@anastasiia_kazban thank you for your feedback! we are on the way to make our videos truly photorealistic 🧚‍♀️
Sabina Agaeva
This is a very cool experience! I'm surprised that such a cool quality can be collected from such a short dataset. And especially pleased with the emotions, now you don’t need to smile all the video to look positive 😂
Arnold Kavke
@sabzhuk why do you think dataset is short?
Sabina Agaeva
@imarny I had experience in creating custom avatars (for text-to-video platform too), and there the technology required reading the text on a professional camera from 2 hours)) and here it’s literally 5 minutes
Vladimir Ivashkin
@imarny there are services which can generate talking head video by just one photo, but the result is unrealistic. 3.5 minutes at 60fps is the balance we found between realism and usability. We are working on reducing the dataset length without loss in quality
Marina Bessmertnaya
@sabzhuk @neurodeus I didn't have such problems while recording. Although, to be honest, I didn’t really succeed in talking and smiling for five minutes. But I tried and did my best hopefully 💁 I hope my avatar turns out cute *fingers crossed*
Alena
What if my account gets hacked? That's dangerous, right?
Alex Kostin
@new_user__0322023d773c9c0ed15c48b I had just the same question, actually. So that's what the engineers explained to me: "We are highly concerned about security. That's why we approach our development with a 'security-in-mind' mindset, and work closely with a top-notch security company that periodically performs security testing for us. Additionally, we have implemented two-factor authentication to further bolster our security measures. We understand the importance of ensuring our clients' sensitive information is kept safe and secure, and take every precaution to make that a top priority."
