Synthesia partnered with NVIDIA to build an interactive avatar of TJ, the cartoon version of Jensen Huang, for GTC Berlin. Attendees can walk up and have real-time conversations about the event agenda and get personalized session recommendations based on their interests. The company positions it as a glimpse of what its Interactive Avatars can do: AI characters people genuinely engage with through live-feeling Q&A and conversation.
