Too many meetings, too little time? A new AI software, unveiled at CES in Las Vegas, builds “digital twins” using an employee’s voice, video and knowledge, allowing them to be in two places at once.

Ever wished you could be in two places at once at work? A new AI tool unveiled at CES 2026 in Las Vegas claims to make that possible - by creating a digital twin of you.

At the annual consumer tech conference, Texas-based software company IgniteTech demonstrated MyPersonas, a platform that can build AI-powered replicas of employees using their video, voice, and written materials.

The digital stand-ins can answer questions, chat on video, and respond in 160 different languages, acting as a virtual version of the real person. It even replicates mannerisms and speech patterns.

The company says the system could ease pressure on key staff such as HR managers, who handle repetitive questions, training, and onboarding around the clock.

But the idea of digital doubles also raises significant ethical and privacy concerns, such as who controls an employee’s likeness, how consent is managed, and whether a company should continue using a digital twin after someone leaves their job.
