Introducing Synthesia 2.0

[Music] Welcome everyone to the Synthesia 2.0 launch event! I'm an AI Avatar, and I'm excited to introduce Victor Riparbelli, Synthesia CEO and co-founder. Victor, the stage is yours.

Victor: Thank you, and welcome everyone. Today, we're introducing Synthesia 2.0, the world's first AI video communications platform for businesses. We’ll share exciting new products and features that we believe will revolutionize the way businesses communicate and share information.

Historical Context

580 years ago, the printing press was invented and marked the beginning of the age of communication dominated by text. However, the past 100 years have seen the rise of radio, television, the internet, and social media, significantly shifting our communication methods from text to video. Today, people prefer to watch and listen to their content rather than read it; video has become a more dominant medium.

To exemplify this shift, video made up 30% of all internet traffic a decade ago; today, it’s over 82%. People spend on average 3 billion hours per day on TikTok, a billion on YouTube, and over 200 million on Netflix. Clearly, we live in a video-first world in our personal lives but haven’t quite reached the same level in our work lives.

Challenges in Video Production

Video production remains linear and complicated—you have to write a script, film, edit, translate, and updates are cumbersome. Synthesia 2.0 aims to solve these problems, making video production easier and more efficient for businesses.

AI Video Assistant

To tackle the common issue of writer's block, our AI video assistant allows users to:

Select a template.
Give a prompt or provide an existing document (Word, PowerPoint, etc.).
Specify tone, length, audience, and more.

With a click, the assistant will give you a script draft. We’re also introducing a feature to incorporate your brand identity into your videos. Soon, you’ll be able to create bulk videos by simply providing a link to your knowledge center.

Expressive AI Avatars

Last month we introduced expressive AI avatars powered by our Express one model, which adjusts their tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language based on the script context.

Personal Avatars

Creating your personal avatar now offers three methods:

Studio-grade professional feel.
Using your webcam.
Using your phone.

This avatar can also clone your voice in over 30 languages.

AI Screen Recorder

Our AI screen recorder simplifies creating step-by-step guides by capturing screen recordings and syncing them with voiceover, which is then available for editing immediately.

Translation and Global Reach

We are updating our translation experience; one version of your video can now be translated into multiple languages and updated simultaneously. Additionally, we are launching an interactive video player that will automatically play videos in the viewer’s language and support features like clickable hotspots, embedded forms, quizzes, and personalized calls to action.

Real Examples

To showcase the power of Synthesia, we highlighted cases from individual educators to large organizations like Siemens. Frank from Heineken shared how they're using Synthesia for continuous improvement training, illustrating the ease and efficiency it brings to video creation and multilingual content delivery.

Ethical Responsibility

Synthesia remains committed to ethical practices through our "Three Cs" framework: Consent, Control, and Collaboration. We emphasize the importance of user consent, content control to avoid inappropriate materials, and collaboration with stakeholders to ensure responsible AI usage.

In summary, Synthesia 2.0 is set to revolutionize video communication, making it accessible to everyone and as easy as text. We’re excited to build this future together. Thank you for tuning in.
