Enterprise XR Done Right: Believable AI Avatars, Synthetic Humans & the Future of Immersive Training

Ash and Lucky share how nearly two decades of building mobile and spatial software led them to Kinemeric's Intelligence Core: the AI layer that powers lifelike avatars for training, sales enablement, and customer engagement. They dig into why so many enterprises got AR/VR wrong the first time around (chasing demos instead of outcomes), what's different now that hardware and AI have finally matured, and how their upcoming no-code authoring tool, Spatial Studio, will let non-technical teams build immersive training and marketing experiences without an engineering team in the middle. Whether you're evaluating XR for employee onboarding, exploring AI-driven customer experience, or just curious where spatial computing and AI are headed next, this conversation offers a grounded, outcomes-first look at the Kinemeric Platform and enterprise immersive technology. In this episode, you'll learn: * Why "buying outcomes" beats "buying headsets" in enterprise XR strategy * What makes an AI avatar a "Believable Human" and why that matters for learning retention * How Kinemeric's Intelligence Core combines conversational AI with XR hardware to power realistic training simulations * Real-world use cases: XR onboarding, virtual retail training, immersive marketing activations, and AI customer service avatars * What's next for Kinemeric's Spatial Studio, a no-code authoring tool for immersive storytelling (releasing 2026) * Where multimodal AI (voice, biometrics, body language) is taking XR over the next decade Guests: Ash Gobindram [https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashwin-gobindram] (Co-Founder, Vision & Technical Strategy) and Lucky Gobindram [https://www.linkedin.com/in/luckylance] (Co-Founder, Sales & Commercial Strategy), Kinemeric Connect: kinemeric.com [https://kinemeric.com] | X — @kinemeric [https://x.com/kinemeric] | LinkedIn — Kinemeric [https://linkedin.com/company/kinemeric] | Instagram — @wearekinemeric [https://www.instagram.com/wearekinemeric/] | YouTube — @Kinemeric [https://www.youtube.com/@Kinemeric]  Host: Ashley Coffey, Coffey & Code Podcast EPISODE CREDITS: Produced and edited by Ashley Coffey.
