Interactive Video Agents: A New Era for Real-Time AI
Session Overview
For decades, training has meant watching, reading, or sitting through a workshop. It's passive, one-directional, and easy to forget. A new kind of meeting is emerging, one where the person on the other side isn't a colleague or trainer but an AI agent that is conversational, always available, and able to respond in real time.
This talk explores what happens when training stops being something you consume and becomes something you practice live, in conversation, with an interactive avatar that can challenge and adapt in the moment.
We'll look into how Synthesia is approaching the use cases already emerging around roleplay, coaching, and skill-building, and what it means for the future of work as meetings, learning, and human-to-AI interaction begin to blend into one.
