Digital Doppelgangers: Surviving Dreaded Web Calls
A startup named Pickle offers a service that allows users to create digital avatars for video conferencing, enabling them to appear present in meetings while being elsewhere. Users submit a five-minute training video to generate their avatar, which can be used on platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams. The service, currently available only for MacOS, is backed by Krew Capital and ranges in price from $300 to $1,150 annually. Due to high demand, there is a delay in avatar generation.
