By [Doomers AI](https://www.linkedin.com/company/doomers-ai) Launch distribution for AI companies Case study · launched 4 November 2026 · figures follow the launch directory ## A face for AI agents **Atmee v2 is a real-time avatar model.** It builds a character from one image and ten seconds of audio, then runs it as a live video call, a voice-only agent or a video generator. Expressions and gestures follow the conversation, and the character can interact with what is around it. It comes from Atmanity. Its founder, Chen-Ping Yu, previously founded Phiar, an augmented reality navigation startup that Google acquired, and spent two years on the research behind Atmee. Atmanity built it as a video foundation model tuned for characters, and says it is up to 50 times faster and 10 to 100 times cheaper than general video models such as Seedance 2.5 and Wan 3.0. The uses it names are tutors, sales coaches, support agents, companions and game characters. > Text and voice work fine, just like DOS did before the Mac. But nothing’s more intuitive than face to face. That comparison carries the launch. Everyone in AI knows the DOS-to-Mac story, and the post puts a face on the next step in one line. ## What Doomers AI ran **Doomers AI ran the launch.** The post went out from the founder’s own account, which had 156 followers when the campaign started, so the launch window had to bring the whole audience. Creators, founders and engineers from the network, with audiences in AI and video, quoted the post in the first hours with their own take on it. A live demo of a talking character makes the case on its own, and each quote put it in front of people building agents. The product, the research and the copy were Atmanity’s. The timing, the voices and the first hours were ours. **8,228** Bookmarks.
