What Is a Custom AI Avatar

A custom AI avatar is a digital presenter you can personalize inside a video. Instead of creating a new avatar from scratch, you customize an existing AI avatar by adjusting its appearance, voice, size, position, and styling. The avatar narrates your text and appears as a controllable layer within each video scene.
