Talking Avatar
AI voice agent use cases, with a face people can talk to
Conversations that Talking Avatar Realistic Avatars voice agents hold on your website, each with a template to start from in the dashboard. Every one costs $0.06 a minute, with the realistic avatar, the voice and the AI included.
The most common uses for AI voice agents are customer support, sales and lead capture, screening interviews, tutoring, training role-play and front-desk questions. Talking Avatar Realistic Avatars voice agents hold each of these as a live video conversation on your website: you start from a template, write the instructions, and pay $0.06 a minute with the avatar, the voice and the AI included. They don't answer phone calls.
Tutoring and language practice
AI tutor
Turn your lessons into a tutor that explains one idea at a time, checks understanding with a short question and gives a hint before the answer. Students practise out loud, which suits language schools, course creators and teachers.
- Follows your curriculum and your way of teaching
- Sessions up to 30 minutes by default
- A transcript of every lesson
A 30-minute conversation: $1.80, avatar included
Recruiting
AI screening interviewer
Runs a structured first-round interview over video: the same questions in the same order for every candidate, one short follow-up when an answer is vague, and time at the end for the candidate's own questions.
- Neutral: never signals whether an answer was good
- Never discusses salary or promises an outcome
- Interviews of up to 30 minutes by default, with a full transcript
InterviewFlowAI, the company behind Talking Avatar, runs many of its own candidate interviews with these avatars. For a complete AI interview platform, see InterviewFlowAI.
A 15-minute conversation: $0.90, avatar included
Customer support
AI customer service agent

- Offers to connect customers with your team
- Sends each transcript to your system with a post-call webhook
A 5-minute conversation: $0.30, avatar included
E-commerce

Talks with shoppers on any page of your store: answers questions about products, sizes, shipping and returns, finds products through your store's own API, and replies in the shopper's language.
- Product search and order status through your own endpoints
- One line to add it to any store, Shopify included
- No ready-made Shopify app: lookups need your store's API
A 5-minute conversation: $0.30, avatar included
Training and role-play
AI sales roleplay
Have the agent play a buyer, a customer or a new hire, with the objections and moods you write, so your team practises discovery calls, objection handling or difficult conversations face to face before the real thing.
- Your own scenario, written in plain language
- Practise as often as needed, with no per-seat licence
- Review every transcript to coach
A 15-minute conversation: $0.90, avatar included
Sales and lead capture
AI sales assistant
Greets visitors on your website, learns what they need one question at a time and connects it to what you sell. When they're a fit, it offers a demo and asks for their name and work email.
- Helpful, not pushy: says so when someone isn't a fit
- Talks about pricing only from what you give it
- Every lead arrives in the transcript
A 8-minute conversation: $0.48, avatar included
Front desk

Greets visitors on your website, or on a tablet at your front desk, answers common questions about your services, hours and address, takes messages and collects appointment requests for your team to confirm.
- Repeats names, dates and numbers back to confirm them
- Never confirms a booking itself: your team does

Is it a fit?
Where a face helps, and where it doesn't
A good fit
- Conversations on your website or in your web app
- Moments where attention and trust matter: interviews, lessons, sales
- Spoken practice: languages, role-play, interview preparation
- Questions you can answer from a few pages of facts
Not a fit
- Phone lines: answering calls or dialling out. Use a phone voice agent platform.
- Whole document libraries: instructions hold up to 20,000 characters, so larger ones need a tool that fetches the right page, which is a developer's job.
- Decisions that need a person, like refunds or hiring decisions. Have the agent hand those to your team.
Already running your own voice agent? Give it a realistic face through the API for $0.02 a minute.

FAQ
Voice agent use case questions
What are the most common AI voice agent use cases?
Customer support, sales and lead capture, screening interviews, tutoring and language practice, training role-play, and front-desk questions. Many of these started as phone calls. On a website, a realistic face turns them into a face-to-face conversation.
Can a Talking Avatar voice agent answer phone calls?
No. Talking Avatar Realistic Avatars voice agents run on the web: you share them as a link, a corner widget or an iframe, and people talk to them from a browser with a microphone. For inbound phone lines and outbound dialling, use a phone voice agent platform.
What does a voice agent conversation cost?
$0.06 a minute, billed per second, with the realistic avatar, the voice and the AI included. A 5-minute support conversation costs $0.30, a 15-minute screening interview $0.90 and a 30-minute tutoring session $1.80. New accounts get $1 of free credits, about 16 minutes of conversation, and there's no subscription.
Do I need a developer?
No. You start from a template in the dashboard, write the instructions, pick an avatar and a voice, and share the agent. Adding it to a website is one script tag or an iframe. You only need a developer for tools that call your own systems during a conversation, like looking up an order.
Which use cases gain the most from an avatar?
Conversations where attention and trust matter: interviews, where every candidate should get the same experience; tutoring and language practice, where learners speak out loud; sales conversations with website visitors; and role-play, where practising with a face is closer to the real thing.
Can I give my own voice agent a face instead?
Yes. If you already run a voice agent on OpenAI Realtime, LiveKit Agents, Pipecat or your own stack, add a realistic avatar through the API for $0.02 a minute. You keep your own LLM and voice, and pay for them separately.
Can many people talk to one agent at the same time?
Yes. Each person talks to the agent in their own call, and there's no plan to upgrade for more of them. To protect your balance, each network can start 20 an hour and 60 a day calls with one agent.
