  title: Runway Characters Avatars Frame Interpolation API
  description: The Runway Characters API enables developers to build real-time conversational avatars powered by GWM-1, Runway's General World Model. Characters are fully custom conversational video agents that can be created from a single image with no fine-tuning required, supporting photorealistic or animated styles, human or non-human appearances. The API manages avatars, real-time sessions via WebRTC, and knowledge documents that avatars can reference during conversations. Sessions have a maximum duration of 5 minutes.
