Talking. Generation two.

The on-device, brand-controllable runtime for real-time photoreal avatars. Capture once. Run everywhere. Zero marginal cost per conversation.

The Talk 2 system

Capture once.
Persona forever.
Runtime everywhere.

01 · Capture
Capture.

A studio pipeline that turns a real person — face, voice, presence — into a deployable Talk 2 persona. One day per persona. The heavy work happens once.

02 · Persona
Persona.

Our packaged file format. Everything the runtime needs to bring a persona to life — patent-protected, brand-controlled, portable across every device the runtime supports.

03 · Runtime
Runtime.

A featherweight engine that loads a persona and runs it on consumer silicon — reasoning, speech, and photoreal lip-sync orchestrated in real time. No server. No per-inference cost.

Anyone can buy parts. Only Talk 2 ships the integrated system. Capture, persona, and runtime are ours — and patent-covered.

The grand thesis

HumanOS.

The visual interface layer of an AI-native world.

AI is leaving the screen. It is dispersing into our cities, our cars, our public spaces, our wearables. Every agent it runs needs a presence — a face that humans can talk to. Voice alone isn't enough. Text is invisible. The face is the operating system of the AI age.

The raise

$3M · 25% · $12M post.

Funded to deliver the brands already asking. Y3 EBITDA $1.75M on $4.96M revenue. The round is shock-absorption, not survival capital.
