Anam — AI for Customer Support & Experience

Anam is for teams that already have, or want, a conversational agent and need it to appear as a talking face. You pick an avatar from the library or upload an image, choose a voice or clone one, then connect an LLM such as GPT-4o, Claude or Mistral. The site lists tool calling, knowledge base retrieval, 70+ languages, and SDKs including JavaScript, Python, LiveKit and Pipecat. Latency is a main selling point: it reports a 1.24 second median reply latency and 1.42 second median connection time, though these come from its own Avatar Benchmark. Plans run from a free tier to self-serve tiers and Enterprise. Free gives 30 minutes per month, one simultaneous session and 3-minute conversations, without commercial use. Starter is $12 per month for 50 minutes and allows commercial use, Explorer is $49 and removes the embed watermark, and Growth is $299 with 2,000 minutes and 2-hour conversations. Extra minutes cost $0.16 down to $0.11 per minute on self-serve plans. The site also states HIPAA-aligned controls and SOC 2 Type II. Cost scales with talk time, so estimate your minutes first.
