AI Avatars Use Spontaneous Topics to Fill Silence in Live Streams

This article discusses challenges in creating engaging live streams with AI avatars, focusing on how to fill conversational silences and manage response delays. The authors implemented a system where avatars generate spontaneous topics if no viewer comments arrive for approximately 75 seconds, a threshold determined through observation to balance engagement and viewer reaction time. These spontaneous topics are given lower priority than viewer comments to ensure the avatar remains responsive to the audience. AI

IMPACT Improves engagement for AI-driven content by addressing conversational gaps and response delays.
