About Synthesia

Synthesia is the leading AI video avatar platform, enabling enterprises to create professional training videos, marketing content, and communications using AI-generated presenters. Founded in 2017, Synthesia allows users to type a script and generate a video of a realistic AI avatar delivering that script in any of 140+ languages.

The company serves over 50,000 enterprise customers who use it primarily for corporate training, internal communications, and product demonstrations. Synthesia eliminates the need for cameras, studios, actors, and post-production — reducing video production costs by up to 90% and timelines from weeks to minutes.

Synthesia's avatars are created from real people who consent to having their likeness digitized. The company maintains strict ethical guidelines around consent and deepfake prevention, requiring identity verification for custom avatar creation.
