🔮 Welcome to the video first world

In the next few years, 99% of the content we’ll consume online will be video. And most of it will be AI generated. From your everyday PowerPoint presentations to Hollywood movies, AI will transform the way we create and consume content.

Here's the story of how this transformation is unfolding 👇🏻

👀 Fact: Today, people want to watch and listen, not read — both at home and at work.

Don't get us wrong, we love a good book. But our brains are wired to better understand and remember visuals. While text is great for presenting information, it's not as effective for learning as visuals are. For example, a short 2 minutes video will always beat a 5 page instructional booklet (hello YouTube and TikTok tutorials about literally everything on earth 👋🏻).

Given our natural inclination towards visuals, it's no surprise that this preference extends into our professional lives as well. Accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the business world has seen an exponential increase in video usage:

• 👍 First, companies shifted towards video communications as a necessity to stay connected across large distributed teams during the pandemic, and then to accommodate the growing hybrid work environment (hello Zoom, Teams, Google Meets 👋🏻)
• 👍 Next, companies started investing more in video for advertising and brand campaigns, to capture the attention of the "video-first generation". (hello Instagram, TikTok, YouTube ads 👋🏻)

But despite the growing preference for video, many core business functions, such as employee training, customer service, and internal knowledge sharing, remain text-dominated. (hello boring PDFs, PowerPoints, and Docs 😭)

⚠️ The problem: High-quality video production is still a very complex process

The wider adoption of video in this business context is slow, largely because it's difficult to scale. Replacing text-based content with generic videos is not the solution. People want high-quality, personalized and engaging videos. Meeting these requirements is difficult due to the complexities of traditional video production, which includes a complex workflow:

📝 Scriptwriting → 📹 Filming → 🪄Editing → 🌍 Translation → ↪️ Updating

✨ The trend: AI finally became useful

We are witnessing a remarkable era where the long-anticipated potential of AI is being realized. Since 2022, we've seen a dramatic simplification in creating high-quality text, images, and audio, thanks to advancements in AI technologies like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Dall-e etc. Yet, video production has continued to be a complex and segmented task—until now.
