The AI Avatar That Made Microsoft’s COMEX Stand Talk Back
Visitors could begin a live multilingual conversation with Omar directly on Microsoft’s COMEX stand.
The challenge
A conference demonstration has to work immediately, in front of a noisy crowd, for visitors with different languages and very different questions. Microsoft needed a memorable expression of applied AI that visitors could understand in seconds and explore for themselves.
Microsoft and event delegates experienced Omar as a live, multilingual demonstration rather than a pre-recorded screen.
The experience
- Visitors asked questions and received immediate spoken answers.
- The avatar moved between product information, Oman Vision 2040 and broader knowledge topics.
- The experience could switch across English, Arabic and more than 115 supported languages.
- Yepic supported the avatar, conversation flow and on-site presentation throughout the event.
Omar gave Microsoft’s COMEX stand a visible, conversational focal point.
The outcome
Omar gave the stand a focal point and a repeatable way to demonstrate the difference between a conventional chatbot and a face-to-face AI agent. Microsoft’s team later described Yepic’s participation as having “great impact,” and continued discussions about further regional opportunities.
