Interesting business model. I was just speaking about app mascotification the other day with someone. It&#x27;s a potential branch of the future. I wonder what the appetite is for curated avatars like this right now.<p>Regarding the tech... I really need to start offloading all of the tech I&#x27;ve built out in the last few years. I keep seeing business being erected on a fraction of the features I&#x27;ve developed in recent memory. Realtime lipsync, 3D avatars with generalized animation systems and basic autorigging, cost-effective&#x2F;local TTS, STT, speaker diarization and embedding, memory models, agentic frameworks, there&#x27;s just so much sitting on my drive in a handful of monorepos that needs proper treatment as either a standalone open source project or startup. I could take all this tech, grab a few artists I know and clone Mascotbot&#x27;s business model in a week...<p>Not to detract from the great work they did here on coming up with and executing an idea. Subscription-based model work on its own is a really interesting market segment and I am very much rooting for Mascotbot&#x27;s success.

Hey all, just noticed someone featured us here! I&#x27;m Seraphim, the founder. Our mascot should have most info so feel free to chat on the website, but I&#x27;m happy to answer questions here as well

Are the case studies fake? Can&#x27;t find a trace of RPGLMS and the founder, Dillon Simmons appears to have an AI generated profile pic.

What exactly is the use case here? I have yet to see a website replace their text chat with an avatar

Looks really well executed. However I have my doubts about the business model.
