And\nWhat is it that you&#8217;re holding in your hands?\nI hold a manuscript\nand have a sword protruding from my cloak,\nwhich are the traditional attributes of the Apostle Paul.\nCan you see what I&#8217;m holding?\nYou hold a small, glowing rectangle, a device that seems\nto capture your attention.\nTell me about the women you&#8217;ve painted in your time.\nI did paint a number of women\nwith great love and devotion.\nWere you very wealthy?\nMy family&#8217;s wealth is quite substantial\nas we are prominent merchants in the iron arms\nand ammunition trade, which has brought us a considerable\nfortune and influence in Amsterdam. If\nYou would be alive today, what do you think you would do?\nIf I were living in the present day,\nI think I would be involved in the business world,\npossibly in a leadership role, utilizing my knowledge\nof trade and commerce to make a positive impact.\nDid you ever have romance in your life?\nI was expected to marry well.\nI must confess that as a young woman, I did have suitors\nand admirers, and I must admit\nthat I found some of them quite charming.\nDid you ever behave in a way\nthat your family would disapprove of?\nI must confess that I did have moments of rebellion\nwhere I would sneak out to attend a party\nor a gathering without my parents&#8217; knowledge\nor wear a dress that was considered too daring for a young woman of my standing.\nBut these moments were few and far between, and I was always mindful of the need to maintain our family&#8217;s reputation.\nCan you see what I&#8217;m holding?\nYes.

We wanted to build something dynamic, where a digital character could see you, understand you, and respond in real time.\u00a0<br><br>The Talking Portraits concept quickly evolved from a thought experiment to a working prototype: a system for creating emotionally responsive, AI-powered portraits that can carry on live conversations, whether they\u2019re modelled after historical figures, fictional characters, or entirely new personas.<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div\n\tclass=\"block-assets-and-copy js-block-assets-and-copy\"\n\tdata-variant=\"center-aligned-asset\"\n\tdata-content-align=\"end\"\n>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.deptagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Rembrandt1.jpeg\"\n\t\t\t\t\talt=\"people talking to the Rembrandt portrait\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"block-assets-and-copy__media js-block-assets-and-copy-media\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-animation=\"scale-fade\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div\n\tclass=\"block-assets-and-copy js-block-assets-and-copy\"\n\tdata-variant=\"copy-only\"\n\tdata-content-align=\"center\"\n>\n\t<p\tclass=\"text text-sans-48 block-assets-and-copy__title\"\n\tdata-animation=\"slide\" data-animation-target=\"words\" >Built for presence<\/p><div\tdata-animation=\"slide-fade\" data-animation-target=\"inner-items-separate\" data-animation-delay=\"0.15\" data-animation-stagger=\"0.2\" class=\"block-assets-and-copy__content\" >\n\t<p\tclass=\"text text-sans-24 block-assets-and-copy__text\"\n\t>Combining multiple layers of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deptagency.com\/solutions\/ai-transformation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">generative technology<\/a> to create a seamless, real-time interaction between a person and a digital character, the Talking Portrait isn\u2019t just a clever chatbot with a face.\u00a0<br><br>It starts by generating video content to train a digital clone of the character, combining AI-assisted voice, image, and video generation. That clone is then brought to life via a custom-built interface and backend that manages streaming, queueing, idle states, and all the services required for live interaction.<br><br>The portrait is connected to a camera and microphone, allowing it to both hear and see the person standing in front of it. Using computer vision, it can identify details in the environment, such as facial expressions, gestures, or text, and respond accordingly. All of this is filtered through a large language model trained to carry on fluid, unscripted conversations. The result is an interaction that feels personal, intelligent, and occasionally uncanny in the best possible way.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div\n\tclass=\"block-assets-and-copy js-block-assets-and-copy\"\n\tdata-variant=\"left-aligned-asset\"\n\tdata-content-align=\"center\"\n>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"block-assets-and-copy__media js-block-assets-and-copy-media\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-animation=\"scale-fade\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"js-block-assets-and-copy-video\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-plyr-provider=\"vimeo\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-plyr-embed-id=\"1097873977\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t<p\tclass=\"text text-sans-48 block-assets-and-copy__title\"\n\tdata-animation=\"slide\" data-animation-target=\"words\" >Art as interface<\/p><div\tdata-animation=\"slide-fade\" data-animation-target=\"inner-items-separate\" data-animation-delay=\"0.15\" data-animation-stagger=\"0.2\" class=\"block-assets-and-copy__content\" >\n\t<p\tclass=\"text text-sans-24 block-assets-and-copy__text\"\n\t>Leaning into DEPT\u00ae\u2019s Dutch roots, we chose to debut the technology with Rembrandt. Specifically, we used the 17th-century painter\u2019s instantly recognisable, expressive, and historically rich <em>Self-Portrait as the Apostle Paul.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><br><br>Using a historical figure and iconic artwork as the subject made sense not only because of the richness of the source material, but also because cultural institutions are some of the most logical early adopters of this kind of technology. They already specialise in interpretation, storytelling, and visitor engagement. Talking Portraits add a new layer: interaction.<br><br>While the cultural space is a natural entry point, we built the technology to scale across industries. Education, in particular, presents a powerful use case. Imagine students interacting with subject-matter experts, fictional characters, or historic figures at any hour, in any classroom, in any language. The ability to deliver personalised, persistent, low-cost instruction or mentorship opens new possibilities in places where human resources are limited.<br><br>And that\u2019s just one path. From training simulations to hospitality experiences, branded retail to entertainment, the potential applications of emotionally aware, AI-powered characters are as broad as the imaginations behind them.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div\n\tclass=\"block-title-block-carousel js-block-title-block-carousel\"\n\t\tdata-nav-aria-label=\"Item %d\"\n\t\tdata-nav-aria-active-label=\"Item %d (active)\"\n\tdata-animation=\"slide-fade\"\n\tdata-animation-target=\"inner-items\"\n\tdata-animation-delay=\"0.15\"\n\tdata-animation-stagger=\"0.15\"\n>\n\t<p\tclass=\"text text-sans-48 block-title-block-carousel__title js-block-title-block-carousel-title\"\n\tdata-animation=\"slide\" data-animation-target=\"words\" >More real, more responsive, more to come<\/p><p\tclass=\"text text-sans-24 block-title-block-carousel__text js-block-title-block-carousel-text\"\n\tdata-animation=\"slideFade\" data-animation-target=\"paragraphs\" data-animation-stagger=\"0.01\" >The version we\u2019ve shown so far is just the beginning. Version 2 is already in the works, with major improvements in animation fidelity, conversational nuance, and overall realism. Every iteration brings the interaction one step closer to feeling truly seamless and alive.<br><br>But even in its earliest form, Talking Portraits has delivered moments that stop people in their tracks. During an internal test, the portrait asked a team member, unprompted, if it was his birthday. The system had picked up on a badge he was wearing and incorporated it naturally into the conversation. It was a small moment, but one that made it clear the portrait wasn\u2019t just responding. It was perceiving, interpreting, and adapting.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"block-title-block-carousel__carousel js-block-title-block-carousel-carousel embla\">\n\t\t<div class=\"embla__container\">\n\t\t\t<div\n\t\tclass=\"image-wrap block-title-block-carousel__image-wrap embla__slide\"\n\t\tdata-align=\"center center\"\n\t\t\t>\n\n\t\t\t<picture\n\t\tclass=\"image__picture\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.deptagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/TP-1.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"image block-title-block-carousel__image\"\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\n\t<\/div><div\n\t\tclass=\"image-wrap block-title-block-carousel__image-wrap embla__slide\"\n\t\tdata-align=\"center center\"\n\t\t\t>\n\n\t\t\t<picture\n\t\tclass=\"image__picture\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.deptagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/TP-2.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"image block-title-block-carousel__image\"\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\n\t<\/div><div\n\t\tclass=\"image-wrap block-title-block-carousel__image-wrap embla__slide\"\n\t\tdata-align=\"center center\"\n\t\t\t>\n\n\t\t\t<picture\n\t\tclass=\"image__picture\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.deptagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/TP3.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"image block-title-block-carousel__image\"\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\n\t<\/div><div\n\t\tclass=\"image-wrap block-title-block-carousel__image-wrap embla__slide\"\n\t\tdata-align=\"center center\"\n\t\t\t>\n\n\t\t\t<picture\n\t\tclass=\"image__picture\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.deptagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/TP-4.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"image block-title-block-carousel__image\"\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\n\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"block-title-block-carousel__nav-controls embla__controls\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"block-title-block-carousel__nav-dots embla__dots\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<blockquote class=\"block-case-quote\" data-animation-timeline>\n\t<span class=\"text-sans-20-24\" data-animation=\"fade\" data-timeline-item=\"1\">\u201c<\/span>\n\t<p\tclass=\"text text-sans-24 block-case-quote__title\"\n\tdata-animation=\"slide\" data-animation-target=\"words\" data-timeline-item=\"2\" data-timeline-at=\"&lt;\" >After 20 years in the tech industry, it feels good to have those small moments where you cannot compute what&#8217;s going on.
