How We Built Malta Daily's AI Host

Turning a real presenter into a multilingual, always-on digital agent.

The Challenge

Malta Daily wanted to engage audiences beyond Malta—without flying a team around or filming content over and over in different languages. They needed a digital host that could present, answer questions, and speak to people anywhere, anytime.

The Solution: A Custom AI Agent

We created a personalized interactive avatar powered by our AI agent stack. Here's how we built it:

1. Digital Twin Creation (Avatar + Voice Cloning)

We built a photorealistic avatar that looks and sounds just like their presenter.

  • Text-to-speech voice cloning to match tone and cadence
  • Lip-syncing and facial animation to keep it lifelike

2. Brain Training (Context-Aware Prompt Engineering)

We fine-tuned the agent using:

  • Past interviews and scripts
  • Brand tone guidelines
  • Frequently asked questions

This allowed the avatar to answer questions contextually—like a real host would.

3. Language Expansion (Multilingual Support)

We embedded multilingual capabilities using real-time translation pipelines, enabling the avatar to:

  • Automatically detect user language
  • Respond in English, Maltese, French, Spanish, and Italian

4. Autonomous Engagement (Agentic Logic + Eval Loops)

The agent doesn't just talk—it acts:

  • It chooses which content to show
  • Redirects users to resources
  • Collects feedback
  • And improves over time using evaluation metrics

We implemented custom evals to track:

  • Accuracy of answers
  • Viewer engagement time
  • Response speed
