New open-source AVATAR gives your AI agents a face

AVATAR is an open-source desktop companion that gives AI agents a face, providing a presence on the screen with VRM character, motion, and lip syncing. This is useful for developers working with local LLMs, voice pipelines, or agent stacks, as well as streamers, educators, and accessibility researchers. AVATAR runs as an Electron overlay on Windows and can be customized with user-provided VRM and environment folders. It is a local-first presenter that keeps agents and tools local, without requiring cloud services.
