# Replicas

> AI replica creation and interaction API for building persistent digital personas with voice and video capabilities.

AI replica creation and interaction API for building persistent digital personas with voice and video capabilities. Best for creating branded AI representatives -- support agents, sales representatives, and interactive characters with consistent personalities. Unlike Keyframe Labs (session-based video), Replicas focuses on persistent persona creation with memory and personality traits.
