Elai.io - Automated AI Video Generation Platform

Elai ships with 80+ stock avatars and lets you make your own. A selfie avatar recorded on a phone costs $199 per year. A studio-recorded custom avatar costs $500 per year. Voice cloning is $200 per year. Custom avatars appear on the slide like any stock presenter, so corporate videos can feature your actual spokesperson. The trade-off is cost and turnaround, since custom avatars are annual purchases rather than one-off jobs.

The core workflow takes typed speech text and turns it into avatar narration, slide by slide. AI Storyboard generates a script from a prompt, a link, or an uploaded document, which shortens the blank-page stage for training outlines. Text to video, article-to-video, and PPTX to video all feed existing content straight in. A blog post or a deck becomes a narrated video without rewriting. That saves hours on every project.

Voice cloning records a sample of your voice and uses it to narrate scripts in 28 languages. The result is one consistent narrator across a localized video library instead of a different synthetic voice for every market. Standard voices number 300+. Premium voices, 100+ of them, are reserved for Team and Enterprise plans.

Elai translates videos into more than 75 languages from inside the editor, using 450+ accents. Video translation like this is meant to replace a localization crew. For internal training content, the time savings are real. It's machine translation, so review anything customer-facing before publishing. Machine output still misses tone.

Branching lets viewers pick their own path through a video. You can also add clickable buttons, hotspots, text quizzes, and image-based quizzes with multi-select answers. This turns a passive explainer into something closer to a course module. Analytics track views, watch time, and engagement. You can see exactly where learners drop off.

Upload a PowerPoint file and Elai converts each slide into a video slide with editable components. The notes section under each slide can become the avatar's speech text. A deck that already has speaker notes is most of the way to a finished video.

A public API and Zapier integration let you drive video generation from another system. That's what makes personalized campaigns practical. Send a customer's name and details in an API request and each recipient gets their own version of a template video. This is the feature that separates Elai from tools built only for manual editing. Manual editing doesn't scale past a few dozen videos.

Enterprise and Team tiers add a brand kit with defined colors, fonts, and logos, plus shared workspaces where members collaborate on the same video library. Team plans include three editors and three guests. Enterprise removes the seat limit, adds SSO, and includes SOC 2 compliance and premium support. Elai.io pricing scales with those seats and minutes.
