What is Elai?

Elai converts text, blog URLs, or PowerPoint files into videos fronted by AI presenters, with a library of more than 80 avatars and support for over 75 languages. It is positioned for learning and development teams, marketers, and anyone who needs explainer content produced quickly without filming anything themselves.

Useful extras include automated storyboard generation from a topic, screen recording, interactivity elements such as quizzes, and an API for generating videos programmatically. Custom avatars can be created from a short phone recording, which lowers the barrier for small teams that want a familiar face on screen.
