Synthesia
AI video platform for avatar-led training, sales, and explainer videos.

Creates talking avatar videos from a photo and script, plus real-time conversational AI agents.

Overview
D-ID animates a still photo or a stock presenter into a talking video from typed text or uploaded audio. Its Creative Reality Studio lets users pick an avatar, choose a voice in over 120 languages, add a script, and render short presenter clips. The company also offers AI Agents, a conversational video avatar that can be embedded on a website and answer questions from a knowledge base, and an API used by developers to add avatar video to apps. Small businesses use it for welcome videos, product explainers, personalized sales messages, and a video receptionist on a landing page. It integrates with Canva and PowerPoint, and connects to ElevenLabs and Microsoft voices. The Lite plan is licensed for personal use only, so businesses need Pro or above for ads and client work. Avatar lip movement is convincing for head-and-shoulders shots but less natural for full-body or gesture-heavy content.
