If you take the time to speak with each of your shoppers – to explain your products or services, make recommendations, and guide them to what they actually need – you make people more confident that they're making a good purchasing decision 🛍️✅
This is exactly what digital humans do at huge scale, around the clock, and in 100+ languages.
And the results speak for themselves!
Deepfakes and AI-produced people are already being used to cause chaos and spread disinformation online.
So how do digital humans differ, using CGI to build trust, aid learning, and create engaging experiences?
Tyler Merritt, UneeQ's CTO, was on FOX this week explaining just that, including how people can differentiate between deepfake content and the real thing.

This Skift article featuring digital human, Zena, really nails a couple of important ingredients that seperate a "fine" digital human experience from a "GREAT" one.
⏲️ Low-latency, real-time interactions (just like we all do as people) so it feels natural and fun.
🛠️ Integration with other digital systems (like hotel-booking APIs) to give up-to-date pricing and recommendations – something that goes beyond what we're capable of doing as real people.

What makes us UneeQ
UneeQ started life in 2010 as a company called FaceMe (which focussed on video conferencing solutions). As we grew in our homeland of New Zealand, we began to see more and more the value of face-to-face communication – but it was becoming increasingly rare in a digital world filled with customer self-service, chatbots and online forms. CX went out of the window in the search for speed and scale.
That was until we began a new project exploring digital humans for an Australian government agency that would improve access to information for disabled people. Nadia, voiced by Cate Blanchett and able to have natural, human conversation grew out of that, but sadly couldn’t get off the ground at that point in time.
What we learnt, however, was how to bring an amazing customer experience to digital channels. In fact, digital humans proved to be (and still are) the only way to get the human touch at scale.
In 2019, FaceMe rebranded to UneeQ. After three years of growth in New Zealand, Australia and Europe, we’ve truly launched globally, with offices in the United States and projects underway in Asia, putting us on five of the seven continents... and we’re just getting started.
