Video will never be the same!
For a company founded in 2017, that tells you a lot about timing, conviction, and how fast this industry is moving, and itâs also a reminder that world-class AI companies are being built in Europe too.
But the bigger story is what video is turning into. Weâre moving past âAI helps you create content fasterâ and into AI agents that interact, role-play, coach, and adapt in real time. Video stops being something you watch and becomes something you engage with. Personalized, contextual, and useful at scale.
This goes beyond content creation. Training, onboarding, education, sales, support, ecommerce, and internal communication start to converge when video becomes interactive instead of static.
One thing that matters here, and gets ignored too often, is trust. Generative video can be misused easily, and enterprises wonât touch it if consent, security, and safeguards arenât nailed from day one. Synthesia has taken that seriously from the start, and that foundation is why large organizations are comfortable betting on it.
Huge congrats to the team at Synthesia!
