Elai.io

Elai.io is an AI-powered video generation platform that transforms written text into professional video content featuring lifelike digital avatars. Founded in 2020 and recently acquired by Panopto in 2024, this innovative tool serves businesses, educators, and content creators who need to produce high-quality videos quickly and efficiently.

The platform uses advanced artificial intelligence to convert scripts into narrated videos with customizable digital presenters. Users can choose from over 80 pre-built avatars or create custom ones using their own photos or videos. What makes Elai.io special is its ability to clone voices in 28+ languages, translate videos instantly into 75+ languages, and create interactive content with quizzes and branching scenarios.

Unlike traditional video production that requires expensive equipment and technical expertise, Elai.io works entirely in your web browser. It's designed for learning and development teams, marketing professionals, and anyone who needs to create engaging video content at scale without the complexity of traditional video editing.
