Emma
Video-call an AI character that listens and talks back at once, in your browser
If you are weighing talking-head avatars for support or onboarding, this shows how far full-duplex conversation has come, with no account needed to judge it.
Emma is a conversational character you call over video from the browser, using a microphone and, if you like, a camera. She runs on Nuplex, Nuance Labs' own model that handles audio and video in both directions at once, so she can be interrupted and reply without the usual turn-taking lag. The Seattle team spent about 18 months on it and says plainly that it is rough in places: calls can end early, especially through the beta developer API. No account is required to try it.
