Casablanca AI is an AI-powered communication software that helps you feel more natural and confident in video calls by fixing your eye contact. When we are on an online meeting or normally look at the screen, it feels like we are looking to the side of the camera. This can reduce personal connections at work. Casablanca AI addresses this issue by tracking your gaze and head direction and then adjusting them in the real-time camera field of view, so it feels like you are looking right into the eyes of the person you are speaking to. The best part about Casablanca AI is that everything is done through software—no extra camera or hardware is necessary. The product runs locally, meaning the meeting data collected is not shared externally and is secure on your computer. Casablanca AI works with the most popular applications, such as Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex. This tool can improve the way your meetings and interviews feel when you have remote teams across the globe, teach or coach others, or join business discussions. It helps create a more personal touch, builds trust, and enhances communication.
