Executive Summary
At GTC 2026, attendees experienced more than presentations and product announcements—they interacted directly with AI.
Powered by AKOOL’s real-time avatar technology, interactive holographic AI agents were deployed across the conference environment to demonstrate how conversational AI can move beyond screens and into physical spaces.
One of the standout experiences was an AI-powered holographic persona that became a destination across the event floor. Presented through immersive holographic displays, the avatar engaged visitors in natural conversations, answered questions in real time, explained conference topics, and created memorable moments with attendees.
This deployment demonstrated how AI avatars can become intelligent front doors for brands—bringing together conversation, presence, and enterprise knowledge into a single experience.
Turning AI Avatars Into Physical Experiences
For years, AI has primarily lived inside chat windows and applications. This deployment showed a different future: AI embodied in physical environments.
AKOOL’s avatar technology enabled attendees to interact naturally through voice and conversation while receiving real-time responses generated dynamically rather than through scripted experiences.
The avatars delivered:
- Real-time conversational interaction
- Multilingual communication across global audiences
- Context-aware responses
- Natural voice and presentation
- Personalized information delivery at scale
Unlike traditional kiosks or looping video displays, each interaction adapted live to the attendee’s questions and intent.
Enterprise Knowledge, Delivered Through an Avatar
The deployment showcased how AI avatars can become knowledgeable brand representatives in high-traffic environments.
Visitors were able to:
- Ask questions and receive immediate answers
- Explore products and services conversationally
- Navigate event information naturally
- Engage through multiple languages without switching interfaces
- Experience a more human and memorable interaction model
The result was an experience that blended the scalability of AI with the presence of in-person engagement.
Why This Matters
Large events create a difficult operational challenge: thousands of attendees, limited staff availability, and increasing expectations for personalized engagement.
AKOOL avatars demonstrated a new model:
- Scale expertise without scaling headcount
- Deliver consistent experiences across every interaction
- Extend brand presence beyond human staffing limits
- Capture engagement opportunities in real time
This represents a shift from static information delivery toward intelligent, embodied interaction.
Physical AI Is Becoming Real
As enterprises explore how AI moves into physical environments, avatars are becoming an important interface layer between people and intelligent systems.
This deployment showed that AI is no longer limited to websites and apps.
It can speak.
It can interact.
It can represent brands.
And increasingly, it can show up wherever customers already are.
With AKOOL, the next generation of customer interaction becomes conversational, visual, multilingual, and ready for the physical world.
