Synthesia

We were founded in 2017 by a team of researchers and entrepreneurs from UCL, Stanford, TUM, and Cambridge. We offer an AI video platform designed for businesses to create videos from text. Our platform supports AI videos with expressive avatars and voiceovers, available in 160+ languages. Companies like Zoom, Xerox, Teleperformance, and Amazon use it for change management, sales enablement, operations training, internal communications, employee training, compliance training, and technical training.

Our platform features customizable AI avatars, the ability to instantly convert existing documents, links, or ideas into branded AI videos, and real-time team collaboration. We offer one-click translation into over 160 languages, an AI screen recorder for polished recordings with instant transcripts, and a multilingual video player for organizing and accessing different language versions. You can brand your videos with custom logos, colors, and styles. Our system also includes one-click updates with version control, SCORM format export for integration with Learning Management Systems, and analytics to track video performance metrics like views and completion rates. Our platform doesn’t require video editing skills or specialized equipment. We also adhere to compliance standards including SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and ISO42001, with SAML/SSO support.

Our mission is to help people work better by transforming how organizations train, onboard, and upskill their employees with AI.

We’re committed to AI ethics, with 10% of our team dedicated to AI safety and ethics, maintaining a “People first” stance on the impact of AI.

We provide clear progression paths and support employees in leveling up their careers through learning and development opportunities.
