Its platform lets users create videos with AI avatars and voiceovers in more than 140 languages, convert documents, PowerPoint files, or links into videos, and dub existing videos with voice cloning and lip-sync. The company's Sessions products use interactive avatars for roleplay practice and conversational surveys, while APIs allow developers to generate videos, automate dubbing, and embed real-time avatars in their own products. Videos can be published as links, embeds, or SCORM packages, and a free Basic plan is offered alongside paid and enterprise plans.
