THE TALENT COMPANY FOR THE AI ERA
VALIS AI · The Talent Company for the AI Era

Where iconic
presence scales.

We partner with iconic people and rights holders to extend their presence into the AI era — creating new ways to engage audiences, create experiences and generate revenue while protecting the identity behind them.

We also create original digital talent.

The Vision

From consuming content about people — to interacting with them.

For the first time, an individual’s presence, knowledge and creativity can engage audiences far beyond the limits of their own time and availability.

VALIS works with talent and rights holders to turn that possibility into new experiences, deeper audience relationships and new commercial opportunities — while preserving control over the identity behind them.

What We Create

Your presence. Extended.

Authorized Digital Embodiments

Icons we partner

VALIS partners with iconic talent and rights holders to create authorized digital embodiments built around the individual’s voice, likeness, knowledge, personality and performance.

VOICE · LIKENESS · KNOWLEDGE · PERSONALITY · PERFORMANCE

From conversation to performance, each embodiment is created within agreed creative and commercial boundaries and developed for new ways to engage audiences.

VALIS Originals

Digital talent we create

VALIS also creates original digital personalities, artists and influencers — wholly new talent developed for the digital world.
