Keyframe Labs

Keyframe Labs builds real-time foundation models that turn AI voice and text agents into lifelike, emotionally expressive video calls. Its Persona-1.5-Live product lets developers add photoreal AI avatars ("personas") to their agents and applications with a few lines of embed code, at roughly 500ms latency and from $0.06 per minute. The platform exposes a REST Sessions API (create a live session, manage meeting bots for Zoom/Meet/Teams, and list voices and LLM models), JavaScript/TypeScript SDKs, and embeddable UI elements, with hosted and self-managed integration paths that plug into agent frameworks such as LiveKit Agents, ElevenLabs Agents, and OpenAI Realtime. Founded in 2025 and backed by Y Combinator (Spring 2026), Keyframe Labs is based in San Francisco.

Keyframe Labs publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including LLM models API, Meet bots API, Sessions API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, Avatars, Video, and Conversational AI.

Keyframe Labs’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, pricing, engineering blog, and 21 more developer resources.
