What is Synthesia?
Synthesia is an AI video platform for business training, onboarding, sales enablement and internal updates. It turns prompts, documents, PowerPoints or links into video drafts with scripts, scenes and avatar presenters. Users can create a Personal Avatar, translate videos, and add quizzes or branching paths. Videos can be shared by link, embedded or exported to an LMS with SCORM. Feature availability depends on the plan; the Basic plan adds a watermark, while SCORM export and Brand Kits are listed under Enterprise.
