Today marks the next chapter for @synthesiaIO as we announce our $200M Series E at $4B led by GV.
It’s been quite a ride since 2017 when we set out to transform how people make video. Now, 8 years later, so much of that vision has come to fruition as evident everywhere around us. It’s truly incredible how good AI video has become in the last two years.
Up until now it’s been mostly about making video as we know it with AI. This is often referred to as the ‘bridge-period’ where new technology copies old formats, like when the first films were just recorded theater or early GPS was just a digital map with no navigation.
Now, it’s time to figure out what AI-native video truly looks like - when we let go of the priors and rethink video in the context of language models, real-time video generation, smartphones and so much more.
With this new round, it’s all about helping people work better – both with AI video and a bunch of new real-time products, like Skills. We’ll be sharing much more in the coming months!
Grateful to all of our amazing customers, Synthesian’s and investors!
New features. New workflows. A new form of video.
(…Did someone say Video Agents? 👀)

We just wrapped Synthesia 3.0!
Here’s what we announced:
Video Agents: Video you can talk to in real-time. Add a Video Agent at any point in your video - and let them run training roleplays, do knowledge checks, interview candidates and much more.
Avatars: Now they move and talk like professional speakers. Create an Avatar from a single prompt or image - with facial expressions, perfect lip sync, and natural hand & body movements.
Copilot: Your very own professional video editor. Writes your script in seconds, connects to knowledge bases, and even suggests visual elements.
Interactivity 2.0: Get viewers to engage and take action with interactive elements like quizzes, polls, hotspots, and forms.
Courses: Design interactive learning experience that combine Avatars, Video Agents, and Interactivity - and measure performance data.
I’ll be sharing more about each specific update in the coming days.

Will your grandchildren will be the last generation to read and write?
From hieroglyphics to keyboards, how we communicate keeps evolving.
In my @TEDAI Vienna talk, I argue that text will give way to video and audio—once creation is as effortless.

Would have done anything to be in the meeting where they brainstormed what emoji reaction Jill Biden should post in response to her husband dropping out of the presidential race.
