Bring any image, avatar, or photo to life with realistic AI-generated speech.
What is D-ID?
D-ID is a pioneering company specializing in generative AI that brings digital characters and static images to life through realistic talking avatars. Founded in 2017 by Gil Perry, Sella Blondheim, and Eliran Kuta, the team combines expertise in cybersecurity and computer vision. The core technology leverages a proprietary diffusion-based model and a deep learning pipeline that animates photographs by accurately syncing lip movements and expressions to any provided audio track. Key capabilities include creating custom speaking avatars, a live conversational agent platform, and video presenters that can speak in over 120 languages. This technology primarily targets enterprise clients in corporate training, marketing, customer service, and digital storytelling, allowing for scalable personalized communication. The business impact lies in its seamless workflow integration via API, enabling companies to automate and humanize video content at scale, reducing production time and cost from days to minutes.
