Introducing Runway Characters, real-time intelligent avatars [music] that turn the internet into a conversation. >> Whoa, don't go that way. Lots of bad stuff ahead. [music] >> What am I doing wrong? Oh, no. Get that out of direct sunlight. >> We could try making a bolognese. >> Oi, you've got to be mad to think you should be starting Bryce with that match-up. >> Great action movies are my favorite. Or, are you looking for something with more of a classic blockbuster feel? >> Can't imagine us at 80. This is what we look like at 80. That pose usually means that your [music] dog is relaxing and fully trusting you. >> Let's talk about stain removal instead. >> I got some toast stuck in my toaster. Put the fork down, brother. I think that should be a good mix for now. Thank you. Runway Characters can be built directly into your apps, websites, products, and services. This is the new internet, and it's available today.
