OpenAvatarChat

The unlock

Why this one is on the map.

Makes the complete conversational host pipeline inspectable across several avatar backends.

The clearest product signal is “Swap the face without rebuilding the conversation”. That interaction model—not a generic AI feature list—is the reason to compare it with the rest of this directory.

This is source code, not a hosted channel. You need to inspect, configure, and deploy it with your own keys and runtime before anything can broadcast.
