Annie, The AI Chatbot

Annie is an AI-powered chatbot I created for Layla Network to elevate user interaction beyond static text replies. She talks, listens, and expresses emotions through smooth real-time animations — making conversations feel human-like and memorable.

Rigged the provided image into a flexible, animation-ready character.

Created a complete viseme system for realistic mouth shapes synced to speech.

Designed idle, listening, and talking animations to match real-time AI responses.

Integrated the animations seamlessly into the chatbot’s user interface.

Ensured smooth, lightweight performance for web and app use.

Turned a static image into a fully interactive AI companion.

Increased user engagement and brand uniqueness for Layla Network.

Showcased how thoughtful motion design can transform generic bots into memorable characters.

✅ Rigged character from static image ✅ Viseme library for lip-sync ✅ Talking, listening, idle & expressive animations ✅ Rive export & integration support

I help brands and startups animate their AI characters — from static images or illustrations — and connect them to live chat interactions. If you want your AI assistant to feel alive, let’s talk!
