You might be interested in the work of Soul Machines [0] (online demo on website), a company formed by Mark Sagar [1][2]. There are a few interesting talks by him if you search on Youtube.
Their AI-driven avatars are already in use in a handful of places, and fairly well received.

— Appearance-wise, I think MetaHuman's stuff looks better than Soul Machines' — but SM's avatars are backed with a conversational AI, and are not available as a UE-plugin. So it's not an apples-for-apples comparison of course.

nice, this is going to become a commodity technology in few years. I can see Unity following and then so many other 3d design tool makers with similar capabilities.
