What is Lumière AI?

Lumière AI is Performit Live’s interactive AI character platform for visitor-facing environments. Between conversations, it can present branded content and visitor information. When someone approaches, the character answers questions, shares knowledge and helps them explore through natural, spoken interaction.

Watch Lumière AI hold a real conversation.

A visitor approaches a venue display and asks Lumière AI about the platform, in real time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a conversational AI avatar?
A conversational AI avatar is a digital human powered by natural language AI that engages audiences in real-time dialogue. Unlike scripted chatbots, it understands context, responds naturally, and adapts tone to match your brand, operating as a customer-facing ambassador in retail and events, and as an organizational knowledge resource internally. Available 24/7 without staff.
Is Lumière AI an autonomous AI system?
Lumière AI is an AI-powered system, but it is not unattended or unconstrained. All deployments operate within defined behavioural boundaries, tone guidelines, and subject constraints. The system is designed to behave predictably and consistently in live environments, not to improvise freely.
Can it be used in both internal and customer-facing environments?
Yes. Lumière AI is designed to operate across internal organisational settings (such as staff-facing or operational environments) as well as customer-facing contexts where brand representation matters. The same governance principles apply in both cases.
Does it require the internet to run?
Yes. A stable internet connection is needed for cloud-based processing, updates, and optimal performance.
How long can it run for?
Lumière AI is designed for continuous operation. As long as power and connectivity are maintained, it can engage audiences 24/7 without interruption.
What about audience privacy?
No personally identifiable information is ever stored. Lumière AI is designed with privacy at its core.
