AnyMind upgrades AnyLive AI avatar hosts and merges human and AI stream analytics

AnyMind Group announced updates to its AnyLive live-commerce platform on 16 September 2026. On the avatar side, the company cites improved body movement, facial expression and lip-sync accuracy, reduced response latency, the ability to generate an avatar from existing video footage, and customisation of clothing, makeup, hairstyle and products. The platform also supports digital mascots rather than only human likenesses.

The analytics update puts human-led and AI-fronted livestreams in one dashboard, with account-, brand- and stream-level views, conversion-funnel analysis and AI-generated performance recommendations.

AnyMind cited third-party projections placing Southeast Asia's content commerce market at $77.9 billion in 2026, a stated 57 percent year-on-year increase from 2025; South Korea's live-shopping market at $3.2 billion in 2025; and Japanese live-commerce adoption rising to 6 percent in 2025 from 1.6 percent in 2024.

Why it matters for digital humans: Live commerce in Asia is the largest running deployment of conversational avatars in a setting with a hard success metric attached, which makes unified human-versus-AI reporting the notable part of this release rather than the lip-sync work. Put both stream types on the same funnel and operators can finally answer whether the avatar host converts, and at what discount to a human — a comparison most Western avatar vendors still cannot produce. The market figures are company-cited projections from the vendor's own release and should be treated as promotional rather than independently verified.
