Could you build this?

Partial Aggregating commercial LLMs is simple, but achieving real-time photorealistic video avatars with ultra-low latency interactive voice streaming requires complex multimodal pipeline engineering.

What it would actually take: A production implementation requires orchestrating WebRTC media streams with real-time audio-driven avatar animation (like LivePortrait or SadTalker running on dedicated GPU instances), synchronized with duplex speech-to-speech models or fast STT/TTS chains. This requires specialized infrastructure engineering for real-time video streaming, sub-500ms latency orchestration, and significant GPU compute.
