Synthesia 2.0: Revolutionizing Business Communication

In the video titled ‘Introducing Synthesia 2.0,’ Synthesia CEO Victor Riparbelli unveils the latest advancements in their AI video communications platform. The event kicks off with an introduction by an AI avatar, setting the stage for the array of new features designed to revolutionize business communication.

Victor highlights the historical shift from text to video, emphasizing that while video dominates personal lives, it has yet to fully permeate the workplace. Synthesia 2.0 aims to bridge this gap by making video production seamless and accessible for businesses. The platform simplifies scriptwriting with an AI video assistant that can generate drafts from prompts, documents, or links. This assistant will soon incorporate brand elements and support bulk video creation, transforming entire knowledge centers into video content.

The new Express-1 AI avatars are a standout feature, capable of expressing emotions and adjusting their tone, facial expressions, and body language based on the context of the script. Users can create personal avatars using a studio, webcam, or phone, and these avatars can speak multiple languages with cloned voices.

Synthesia 2.0 introduces triggers for intuitive video editing, an AI screen recorder for easy screen capture and voice-over synchronization, and live collaboration tools for real-time co-editing. The platform also enhances its translation features, allowing videos to be automatically translated and updated across multiple languages. A new multilingual video player will play videos in the viewer’s language and support interactive features like clickable hotspots and quizzes.

Customer stories showcase the platform’s impact, from an English tutor in India to large corporations like Siemens and Heineken. Synthesia emphasizes AI safety and ethics, ensuring consent and control over AI-generated content. The company is on track to achieve ISO 4201 certification for responsible AI practices.

Victor concludes by envisioning a future where video and audio communication is as easy to create as text, heralding a new era in business communication.
