Shipping Log - Week 40

Here's what's new this week: 1) we launched CWM-1 Lite, our lowest-priced model to date (as low as $0.048/min) with a built-in emotion engine, and 2) our customer case study with LivePlay Mobile is live.

Hey all!

Here's what’s new at LemonSlice.

1. We just launched CWM-1 Lite: our newest model comes with a built-in emotion engine AND offers our lowest price to date (as low as $0.048/min). The crazy part is -- it’s actually cheaper than some TTS and speech-to-speech models, making it ideal for high-volume use cases. See the comparisons here.

CWM-1 Lite generates video at a higher resolution than our previous low-cost model AND supports built-in actions and emotions. Use an engine preset to give the avatar a more life-like presence, or trigger specific actions and emotions programmatically.

CWM-1 Lite is available today for anyone on our Ultra or Enterprise tiers. And, don’t forget today is your last chance to take advantage of our ULTRA50 or ULTRA20 promo codes! :)

2. Our customer case study with LivePlay Mobile is live. LivePlay is a live-entertainment platform using LemonSlice avatars to host game shows. Within 6 weeks of launch, they were on air 75 hours a day, earning about 2x the revenue of unhosted games and seeing 50% higher retention.

Here’s one of my favorite quotes from the case study: "We immediately recognized that LemonSlice avatars were far better than the market because of their low latency and expressivity." Read the full thing here.

Happy building!
