RAVATAR adopts Intel technologies to Bring Real-Time Interactive AI Avatars to the Edge

LIMASSOL, Cyprus, June 9, 2026
Most AI avatar solutions can't work without the cloud, which rules them out for hospitals, government offices, and other regulated or remote settings. RAVATAR has optimized Intel Core Ultra processors and the Intel OpenVINO toolkit to run its entire AI Avatar Platform locally on a single device, bringing real-time Interactive AI Avatars to the edge.
LIMASSOL, Cyprus, June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- RAVATAR, an AI company building the human-facing interface layer for AI systems, announced today that it has optimized Intel Core Ultra processors and the Intel OpenVINO toolkit for the RAVATAR AI Avatar Platform, delivering real-time Interactive AI Avatars to the edge across cloud-connected, hybrid, on-premises, and air-gapped environments. The company has also joined the Intel Partner Alliance as an Independent Software Vendor (ISV).
Most AI avatar solutions rely on cloud infrastructure for speech recognition, language processing, and rendering. That architecture introduces latency, requires reliable connectivity, and limits where organizations can deploy. For deployments in regulated, remote, or infrastructure-constrained environments, those constraints are often disqualifying.
The RAVATAR AI Avatar Platform removes the cloud dependency and runs all inference locally on a single device. Utilizing Intel technologies, the solution also delivers:
- Real-time responsiveness. OpenVINO optimizations on Intel Core Ultra processors reduce inference time, keeping avatar interactions fluid and natural.
- On-device parallel processing. Intel Core Ultra CPU with integrated GPU and NPU handle speech recognition and response generation simultaneously, with no external computer required.
- Reduced infrastructure costs. Fully local operation eliminates ongoing cloud processing fees and simplifies deployment architecture.
- Deployment flexibility. The platform supports web, mobile, kiosks, and holographic displays, adapting to the channel and environment each use case demands.
Executive Quotes
"We built RAVATAR to work where your users are, not where your data center is," said Ruslan Synytskyy, CEO of RAVATAR. "A kiosk in a hospital lobby, a service terminal at a government office, a holographic display at a live event. These aren't edge cases, they're the front line of customer experience. With Intel Core Ultra, we run speech recognition and language processing on a single device, no cloud dependency required. That changes the deployment economics entirely."
"Retailers are seeking AI that enhances customer interactions while improving efficiency—from personalized guidance to faster service. RAVATAR's optimization for Intel Core Ultra processors and Intel OpenVINO highlights how our ISV ecosystem is delivering real-time AI at the edge," said Mariya Zorotovich, General Manager, Consumer Industries Division, Client Computing Group, Intel. "With integrated AI acceleration in a single SoC, partners like RAVATAR can run speech and language inference locally, enabling low-latency, reliable experiences across in-store touchpoints."
