What D-ID does
D-ID makes AI avatar videos and real-time talking agents. In its Studio you type or upload a script, deck or document and get a presenter video of a stock or personal avatar speaking it, in 120+ languages. It also builds interactive visual agents that can hold live conversations on a website, and an API lets developers add talking-head video and streaming avatars to their own apps. It is aimed at training, marketing, sales and support teams.
