SYNTHESIA.IO – AI AVATARS
Platforms like Synthesia.io enable users to create training videos using AI Avatars. In simpler terms, this technology functions as follows:
Cameras, scanners, and microphones capture a person’s visual, audio, and movement data, which is then analyzed and processed by advanced AI models. These models learn to construct a detailed 3D avatar with textures and realistic animated expressions. The final result is an avatar that can deliver a presentation, resembling a human-like entity.
While the technology is sophisticated, creating videos using Synthesia.io is remarkably easy, much like working with PowerPoint. You can select an avatar, input text, decide on graphics and animation, and download your training video.
GOOGLE AI, MICROSOFT AUTOGEN – IDEATION, ANALYSIS, SCRIPT WRITING
Both technologies provide enormous value in developing the entire learning experience. Generative AI based on Large Language Models (LLMs) has its limitations though as they are trained on publicly available data and are thus not suitable for expert-level scripts. However, chatbots excel in roleplay, helping tailor learning experiences for employees in different functions.
VARIOUS AI TOOLS – VISUAL & GRAPHIC DESIGN
There is a wide range of solutions available for generating visual content such as artwork, pictures, and even generative AI tools that facilitate video editing and the creation of e-books. Our team has tested several promising solutions, although they are still in their infancy. While these tools may be valuable for consumer-oriented content, they often lack enterprise-grade capabilities.
ELEVENLABS – VOICE CLONING
This is our favorite generative AI solution. ElevenLabs only requires less than 30 seconds of your voice recording to create a clone of your voice. The cloned voice is indistinguishable from your original human voice, in contrast to video AI avatars that may feel artificial. Voice cloning AI software like ElevenLabs saves me considerable time, particularly when creating training videos. Furthermore, the AI-cloned audio can be flawlessly translated into multiple languages.
ARTICULATE – AUTHORING PLATFORM & LMS
We use the entire Articulate suite, including Storyline 360, Rise 360, and Reach, and we craft engaging learning experiences. If your company aspires to deliver learning on par with the quality and style found on platforms like Udemy and Coursera, Articulate is a great solution.
