Hey Product Hunters! 👋 I’m Suvrat Bhooshan, Founder & CEO at Gan.AI, and I'm excited to share our festive experiment: Gan.AI Santa Avatars. We wanted to bring a dash of AI magic to the holidays—so we taught Santa to say (almost) anything you type! How it works: - Choose from 3 Santa avatars—whether he’s at his desk or lounging around. 🎅 - Type a quick message (60-500 chars). - Hit “Generate” and in about 10 seconds, Santa delivers your script in his iconic voice. 🎄 - Download or share instantly. This is a sneak peek of a bigger launch we have planned for January 2025, where you’ll be able to record a single video of yourself and then create an AI avatar of your own likeness to generate end to end videos on demand, with your voice and best in class lip-sync, instantly. In the meantime, have fun putting words in Santa’s mouth! We’d love your feedback on the user experience, and we’re excited to see what messages you come up with—whether it’s holiday wishes for your family or a playful shout-out to colleagues. Happy Holidays from everyone at Gan.AI! Suvrat.

@suvrat Love the festive twist with Santa Avatars! 🎅 How do you plan to ensure smooth lip-sync and voice quality for custom avatars in January? Looks promising!

@suvrat Launching this product during the Christmas season is such an interesting choice-congratulations! Looking forward to seeing an above-expected implementation of emotion recognition in the January release.

@tonyabracadabra Thank you Tony Tong! Really appreciate your interest. 🎄 For our January launch, we're using a combination of advanced ML models for both lip-sync and voice synthesis. Our approach focuses on: - Multi-frame temporal consistency to ensure smooth mouth movements that precisely match the audio - Expression preservation that maintains natural facial dynamics while speaking - Voice cloning that captures individual voice characteristics while ensuring clarity and naturalness We've been extensively testing with diverse accents, speaking speeds, and facial features to ensure consistent quality across different user profiles. Would love to have you try it out in January and get your expert feedback! Feel free to play with the Santa demo in the meantime. Let me know if you notice anything specific we could improve! -Suvrat

@suvrat I think the 10-second generation time for a fully lip-synced video is going to be a huge selling point for users who need quick content creation. Please do consider adding themed background environments and other avatars that match different occasions. This could help users create more contextually relevant videos. Congratulations and best of luck!

Congrats on the launch @kevin @saloni_jaju1 @suvrat @anupreet_singh1. Looks like Santa has got more apps than gifts this year. Hope he's keeping track!

@ashitvora Haha, thank you so much! 😄 You're right - Santa's definitely keeping up with the tech times! Between managing his gift list and now starring in AI videos, he's becoming quite the digital innovator. Though I hear he still prefers cookies to apps when it comes to Christmas Eve deliveries! 🎅🍪 Thanks for the kind wishes - really means a lot to the whole team! Hope you have fun creating some Santa messages of your own. -Suvrat

Can I have a sassy Santa roast everything I say?

@jaime1900 Hey there! I totally get the appeal of a sassy Santa - fun idea! 🎅 While the current demo is primarily focused on delivering holiday messages (within 500 characters), you can definitely add some playful Santa personality to your message. The voice model is optimized for Santa's traditional jolly tone, but you could try something like: "Ho ho ho! Look who's asking for a roasting! I've been watching your shenanigans all year, and let's just say your spot on the Nice List is... pending review. 😉 But hey, at least your sense of humor made my elves laugh!" For more interactive back-and-forth roasts, you might want to check out our full release in January where you'll have more flexibility with custom avatars and voice styles. In the meantime, feel free to experiment with different Santa messages - just keep them in good fun! -Suvrat

Hi，Suvrat，Your product really attracted me, so I couldn't wait to experience it for a while. There are only two steps for submission. Just input the blessing words and your email address, and a video will be generated immediately. The Santa Claus and the scenes in the video are quite in line with the festive atmosphere. However, only the mouth of Santa Claus in the picture is moving, which makes it look rather robotic. Perhaps you could try to make some changes by the subtle movements of fingers or body, as well as the changes of expressions, to make Santa Claus more vivid and attractive.👋👋@suvrat

@sophia49 Thanks for the detailed feedback and for trying out our Santa Avatar demo! 🎅 You make an excellent point about the animation feeling a bit stiff with just mouth movements. We're actually working on incorporating more natural body language and expressions for our January release. Some specific improvements in the pipeline: - Micro-expressions like eye movements and eyebrow raises - Natural hand gestures that match the speech context - Subtle body sway and head movements - More dynamic facial expressions beyond just lip movements The current Santa demo is intentionally simplified to test our technology, but we totally agree that these additional animation elements will make the experience much more engaging and lifelike! Really appreciate you taking the time to share such constructive feedback! If you're interested in testing our full-body animation features when they launch, feel free to join our waitlist for the January release. -Suvrat
