About Me
Digital human expert and innovator at the intersection of AI and entertainment
Don't take my word for it. Talk to Digital Isaac
I'm Isaac Bratzel, founder and CEO of Avataros, where we're revolutionizing how digital avatars are created and experienced through AI-powered technology. With over 15 years in the digital human space, I've been at the forefront of bringing virtual characters to life in increasingly realistic and meaningful ways.
My passion lies at the intersection of technology, art, and human connection. Throughout my career, I've focused on creating digital humans that not only look realistic but also forge genuine connections with audiences. From developing virtual influencers that have reached millions to creating AI agents that transformed customer service, I've consistently pushed the boundaries of what's possible in this field.
At Avataros, we're building the next generation of avatar creation technology, making it possible for anyone to create hyper-realistic digital versions of themselves for use across the metaverse, social media, gaming, and beyond. I believe digital humans will fundamentally change how we express ourselves and interact in digital spaces, and I'm excited to be leading that transformation.
