Overview

Synthesia is a British artificial intelligence company founded in London in 2017 by researchers and entrepreneurs from University College London, Stanford, the Technical University of Munich and Cambridge. Its platform turns a written script into a presenter-led video using photorealistic AI avatars, removing the cameras, studios and reshoots that make corporate video expensive, and it supports well over a hundred languages with synchronised lip movement. The company sells mainly to large enterprises for training, onboarding and internal communication, has built consent and moderation controls around avatar creation, and passed a four billion dollar valuation in 2025.
