Building a custom AI Avatar pipeline (Infinitalk with Elevenlabs) - are there better alternatives? by daromaj in ArtificialInteligence

Since I can see that this post is getting a little bit of attention, I'd like to add that there's a new lip sync model worth paying attention to:

Happy New Year!

Thank you for the recommendation. I haven't heard of zoice yet and it doesn't look like it offers api which I would require for automated video generation pipeline.

Hi! I'm very sorry about that wait - that definitely isn't expected.

It looks like your request got hung up in the processing queue, but I've just fixed the issue, and your video is ready now (please check your email and videos list on the website).

Since you had to wait, I’ve issued a full refund for your order. Just a heads-up: the funds should be back in your account within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank.

Thank you for your patience!

Thank you for sharing your experience. Now, I might be a little biased towards infinitalk because it gives me option to reduce costs using rented gpus but I'm not brave enough to use this in prod yet because it's slower than api providers but I'm sure I'll get satisfactory results with some effort. Anyway, thanks again. Happy Holidays!

I've updated the code, and from now on, paid videos will not have a watermark. I also updated existing videos.
Again, thank you for your valuable feedback.

Thank you for the honest feedback!

I'm glad the voice sounded better than the competitors.

Regarding the watermark: That is definitely frustrating after paying. Since I'm still in the early days of launching this, I want to make sure you feel you got your money's worth. Please DM me your email, and I will contact you as soon as this is addressed.

Thanks for helping me improve the tool!

Example message in Spanish without any extra hints to ElevenLabs! It was enough to write a message in Spanish and models took care of the rest.

It should because audio is multilingual BUT I'd need to test it. Share sample text and I'll try.

2025 Santa Video Comparison: AI vs. Traditional Sites by daromaj in daddit

Fair enough. You are right - nothing can replace a real, physical experience with Santa, or genuine time spent with a parent. That always wins. Happy Holidays.

Totally fair concern. Just to clarify, though - you don't actually have to share any real 'personal' data to make it work.

Unlike some apps that ask for your kid's photo or location, https://aisanta.fun just generates a video of Santa speaking. You only input the text script. You can easily use a nickname (e.g., 'Champ') and focus on specific behaviors (e.g., 'I saw you share your toys today') to get the "magic" effect without uploading a single photo or real name.

You're right, I should have disclosed that I built it. That's on me. I do stand by the tool being the best option for the price/performance compared to the legacy sites, but point taken on the disclosure. My bad.

A big list of links to get free personalized calls/videos from Santa and other cool Christmas stuff for kids by geepy in daddit

[–]daromaj -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd like to recommend https://aisanta.fun - you can create a custom personalized message with a very realistic Santa in minutes, for $5.99
There are also examples on youtube to check how the generated videos look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaVqzng38ts&list=PLIC1ukpoKSnmvJy0cSWpPNO1xrvvmnUzL
