When a bug resists fixing, the smartest feature is a new path forward.
For weeks, Runway chased a bug that made AI avatars drift off-center during real-time video generation. The fix wasn't a clever back-end patch, it was a front-end feature that simply re-centered the user's image before generation began. That pivot turned a limitation into a perceived benefit. Ryan Phillips, head of enterprise product at Runway ML, shared this lesson at VB Transform 2026, arguing that even teams building on foundation models rather than training their own can borrow from Runway's disciplined approach to evaluation and iteration.
Explore how AI avatars make workplace coaching measurable and interactive
Synthesia is pushing past video content with AI Roleplay Sessions, a new enterprise training tool where employees practice workplace conversations directly with AI avatars. The platform doesn't just simulate dialogue; it scores performance and feeds analytics back to leadership, turning soft-skill practice into measurable outcomes. That focus on quantifiable growth is what makes this feel like a natural next step, not a gimmick.
