Proto unveils AI-powered holographic conversational agents

Proto has announced the introduction of the first autonomous AI-powered holographic conversational agents.

The new development was showcased at AWS re:Invent, where holographic representations of AWS, Swami Sivasubramanian, VP of AI and Data, and Nandini Ramani, VP of Monitoring and Observability, participated in interactive conversations. Throughout the five-day event held in Las Vegas, these Proto Hologram Personas engaged in sophisticated dialogues, responding to input from attendees and each other's queries.

The technology demonstrated at the event allowed these holograms to communicate in multiple languages, catering to the diverse international audience present. At the L.A. Tech Week in November, it was also shown that Proto AI Hologram Agents can undertake tasks from conversational input, with potential applications emerging in corporate training and customer service sectors. These Personas are crafted using Proto's AI solutions, customised with the consent and inputs of subjects, and operate within established safety measures.

Raffi Kyrszek, Proto's Head of Product and AI Innovation, commented on this development. "Our latest demonstration showcases the transformative power of multi-agent AI systems. By enabling AI agents to share knowledge, spark emergent creativity, and collaborate on problem-solving, we're unlocking entirely new levels of intelligence and adaptability. This approach allows our AI to not only learn autonomously but also to generate novel ideas and self-organise in ways that mirror human teamwork. It's a major step forward in the evolution of AI, with far-reaching applications across education, research, logistics, and beyond."

This unveiling includes several technological firsts: the creation of generative conversations between AI-powered holograms, the integration of real-time participant hologram capture into an AI-driven narrative, multilingual capabilities with adaptive personality features, and a seamless combination of various AI modalities like natural language processing and voice synthesis.

The technology behind this development is supported by a robust stack, involving Proto's AI Conversational Persona Technology, Amazon Bedrock with Anthropic's Claude for advanced AI, HeyGen's technology for realistic facial expressions and movements, and Eleven Labs' voice synthesis technology. These are integrated alongside AWS services such as SageMaker, Rekognition, and Translate.

Proto is known as an original provider of hologram and spatial computing platforms, with its tools used globally across sectors like enterprise, finance, healthcare, education, and more. Prominent users of the company's AI Persona tools include AWS, PwC, HPE, SoftBank, CBS, UFC, and Burberry, among others.

Proto's holograms and spatial computing tools will be showcased at upcoming events, including CES, with partners such as AARP, PwC, Pave Germany, and Canonical, and at NRF in collaboration with other partners.
