Interesting business model. I was just speaking about app mascotification the other day with someone. It's a potential branch of the future. I wonder what the appetite is for curated avatars like this right now.
Regarding the tech... I really need to start offloading all of the tech I've built out in the last few years. I keep seeing business being erected on a fraction of the features I've developed in recent memory. Realtime lipsync, 3D avatars with generalized animation systems and basic autorigging, cost-effective/local TTS, STT, speaker diarization and embedding, memory models, agentic frameworks, there'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's business model in a week...
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's success.
