Who are we?
From your everyday PowerPoint presentations to Hollywood movies, AI will transform the way we create and consume content.
Today, people want to watch and listen, not read — both at home and at work. If you’re reading this and nodding, check out our brand video.
Despite the clear preference for video, communication and knowledge sharing in the business environment are still dominated by text, largely because high-quality video production remains complex and challenging to scale—until now….
Meet Synthesia
We're on a mission to make video easy for everyone. Born in an AI lab, our AI video communications platform simplifies the entire video production process, making it easy for everyone, regardless of skill level, to create, collaborate, and share high-quality videos. Whether it's for delivering essential training to employees and customers or marketing products and services, Synthesia enables large organizations to communicate and share knowledge through video quickly and efficiently. We’re trusted by leading brands such as Heineken, Zoom, Xerox, McDonald’s and more. Read stories from happy customers and what 1,200+ people say on G2.
In 2023, we were one of 7 European companies to reach unicorn status. In February 2024, G2 named us as the fastest growing company in the world. We’ve raised over $150M in funding from top-tier investors, including Accel, Nvidia, Kleiner Perkins, Google and top founders and operators including Stripe, Datadog, Miro, Webflow, and Facebook.
The Assisted Creation product is central to that mission. It further simplifies video creation by building an AI-based co-pilot for Synthesia. Our goal is to provide users, regardless of their prior video editing experience, with intuitive tools that ensure their success on our platform. To get started, users only need to supply an initial idea, which we turn into a video draft in seconds. Our solution uses a modern machine-learning stack based on LLMs, LVMs, embeddings, and more.
