Animates

Animation Inc. develops real-time generative animation technology designed to power interactive AI characters and companions. Its platform brings characters to life with responsive movement, voice, emotional expression, and changing environments, enabling richer interactions and storytelling. At its core is Ani-2, the company’s proprietary on-device AI model, which generates full-body 3D motion in real time without motion capture or cloud processing. Animation Inc. says its model runs at 2.5 milliseconds per frame.

The company offers tools for building animated companions, with support for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows. Demonstrated applications include chef, fitness trainer, and meditation guide characters that respond to conversation, emotions, activity, and user input. Its planned offerings include interactive livestreaming, allowing creators to control characters and engage audiences in real time, and a content production engine for making videos with character consistency and creative control.

Animation Inc. describes its team as the original crew behind MSQRD, Meta Spark, Meta Face Tracker, and Loóna.
