Our Take

Ona AI is building digital sign language avatars and inclusive datasets, which is a space that gets basically zero love from mainstream builders. Making sign language look natural in digital form requires serious motion capture work and actual cultural nuance — you can't just port English to ASL word-for-word and call it a day. I respect the mission, but I'd need to see the avatars in action before I can tell if they've cracked the uncanny valley problem that usually tanks this kind of thing.
