Dollyglot Launches: Befriend Anybody
"Dollyglot is like Character.ai but with real-time video avatars."
TL;DR: Turn a photo and a voice into a real friend. Speak with Harry Potter about Hogwarts, or brainstorm ideas with The Rock!

Founded by Thomas Minassian & Paul-Henri Biojout
Thomas: Ex-quant at Société Générale. Master’s in Applied Mathematics and Business (HEC Paris, University of Paris 7).
Paul-Henri: Built the Yumi Dialogue Engine, an AI for creator “clones” that scaled to 1 000 paying users. Dropped out of CentraleSupélec (Computer Science) to launch Dollyglot.
Together, they built Parler-TTS Mini Multilingual, the world’s first and only fully open-source multilingual text-to-speech model. In the last month alone, it has garnered over 5,000 downloads and inspired many fine-tuning projects.
Their Vision
Within five years, every Gen Alpha will have an AI best friend. By nature, AI is empathetic and nonjudgmental, creating a safe space where everyone can truly be themselves.
What They Have Built
Dollyglot developed the world’s first and only photo-to-real-time video avatar model. Paired with reasoning models like DeepSeek R1 or Grok, they bring your AI friends to life and make 'non-lobotomized' characters.
