Pickle is a macOS app that creates a hyper-realistic AI avatar of you for video calls. After a face scan and a short training video, your 'AI Self' lip-syncs to your voice in real time and appears as a selectable 'Pickle Camera' in any video app. It lets you be present on camera-on calls without sitting in front of the webcam.
