The Korea Labor Force Development Institute for the Aged (KORDI), a Korean public agency, built a photorealistic custom AI avatar from the face of one of its own staff in 2026 and uses it as the AI announcer for WEEKLY KORDI, the institute's news program. KORDI handled the whole process in house on AiVATAR Self-Custom Avatar, from generating the avatar to producing the video. The announcer introduction video is published on the KORDI YouTube channel and carries the original Korean audio together with an English dub track. It is an example of a public agency producing its own news video, keeping a real employee's likeness without scheduling a shoot.
