Plain-English overview
LemonSlice 2.1 focuses on the visual layer of a conversational agent. A developer supplies an image and audio while choosing the language model and speech system separately, which makes it easier to add a face to an existing agent without replacing the rest of the architecture.
The product is positioned for continuous interaction rather than finished presenter videos. Published frame rate and avatar latency are useful starting points, but users experience the combined delay from speech recognition, reasoning, synthesis, networking, and rendering.
