D-ID

D-ID is an Israeli AI company founded in Tel Aviv. The company is best known for its technology that generates photorealistic talking-head videos from a still image and a text or audio input — a capability it markets under the product name Creative Reality Studio. D-ID gained significant public attention in early 2023 when it integrated OpenAI's ChatGPT into its platform, enabling real-time conversational AI avatars that respond via synthesized speech and lip-synced facial animation.

D-ID's primary technology is the generation of synthetic video from static images using deep learning. Its core offering allows users — ranging from individual creators to enterprise marketing and learning-and-development teams — to produce video content featuring AI-generated presenters without cameras, studios, or human talent. The platform is accessible via a self-serve web app as well as a developer-facing API, enabling B2B integrations for companies that want to embed talking-avatar functionality into their own products. Pricing is tiered, with a free entry level and paid subscription plans.

The flagship product is Creative Reality Studio, which lets users upload or select an avatar image, supply a script or audio file, and receive a rendered talking-head video. D-ID also offers a Chat.D-ID interface — a conversational AI persona product that gained attention in 2023 for combining GPT-4-class language models with its video synthesis layer, producing an avatar that users can have a live text or voice conversation with.

D-ID is headquartered in Tel Aviv. The founding team is Israeli, and core R&D is based in Israel.
