Project Overview

I’m building a platform that leverages AI to create 100% realistic, human-like avatars and voiceovers for use in educational content, podcasts, webinars, and internal company training. The goal is to replicate real employee voices and facial movements so accurately that the final output feels like a real person is presenting or speaking—no robotic voiceovers, no uncanny visuals. The final product should deliver audio and video content that is indistinguishable from real-life recordings. Realism is the top priority.

What the Platform Will Do

• Clone real human voices (employees) using advanced AI TTS tools.

• Create realistic talking head avatars that can be used in videos.

• Allow users to input scripts and generate full video/audio content in minutes.

• Support easy content publishing for e-learning, podcasts, and live simulations.

• Work efficiently on the M4 Mac Mini or similar systems without performance issues.

Key Features Required

1. Voice Cloning Engine

   • Ability to upload voice samples and clone voices with extreme realism.

   • Outputs should sound natural, emotional, and tonally accurate.

   • Support for multiple voices and accents.

2. Avatar Generation

   • AI avatars should mimic human gestures, lip-sync with the TTS output, and deliver on-screen presence similar to real humans.

   • The facial expressions should match the tone and emotion in the speech.

3. Script to Audio/Video Workflow

   • Simple interface where users can paste or upload a script.

   • The platform generates a full video with an avatar and voice automatically.

4. Device Optimization

   • The solution must run efficiently on newer Apple Silicon devices like the M4 Mac Mini—no lag or heavy dependencies.

5. Content Quality

   • Clear HD video output.

   • High-quality, studio-like audio output.

   • Full user control over speed, tone, pauses, and language where possible.

Technical Skills Required

• Strong knowledge of Artificial Intelligence (especially AI voice and face modeling)

• Experience with Deep Learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch)

• Use of tools like

  • DeepSeek AI

  • ElevenLabs, Descript, or other TTS APIs

  • D-ID, Synthesia, HeyGen, or similar avatar technologies

• Backend and API development using Python and PHP

• Building efficient software architecture for cloud or local deployment

What to Include in Your Proposal

• Relevant experience and examples of similar platforms you’ve worked on.

• Your suggested tech stack or approach to building this.

• Timeline and milestones based on the features listed.

• Any AI tools, models, or APIs you recommend using?

• Estimated total cost and whether you're available for ongoing support.

If you've worked on similar avatar/video generation or voice AI platforms, I’d love to see your demo or hear your suggestions. This project could lead to ongoing work as we scale the platform.
