Your business model in three sentences

Anymate Me is a game-changing web platform to automate the production of multilingual videos, directly in the browser. Our mission is to make video production fast, affordable and scalable for companies.

What problem do you solve?

Video has become essential for companies, especially in marketing, sales, customer support and HR. However, traditional video production on a regular basis remains a huge pain because it is expensive, time-consuming and complex. Actresses, studios and equipment are necessary to produce video content. It does not come as a surprise that the production cost of a 2-minute video is €7,000 on average. Another challenge of video production is the difficulty of changing the script of an existing scene. Reshooting the scene is one of the most common methods which leads to further costs. Should a video be produced in multiple languages for an international audience, international or multilingual actresses are needed to shoot the scene for each language. Therefore, video is an effective but unscalable tool for businesses.

What's your digital solution?

Anymate Me is a game changing solution which makes video creation scalable for companies. Anymate Studio is an AI-powered web platform for the production of multilingual video content at the click of a button. Our technology turns your text into video presented by our photorealistic avatars in minutes. Shooting, expensive equipment, location scouting and multilingual actresses are no longer needed to create video content as the video production takes place directly in the browser. To update existing video content, all one needs is to upload a new script for the scene. Anymate Me makes video production for businesses 15X faster and up to 96% cheaper. Currently, our technology supports 60+ spoken languages.

Why should we award you for your digital business model?

Our innovative solution radically changes the process of video production. What really makes us unique is our intercultural and diverse team. As a 50% women-led startup with team members from 4 countries, we think “out of the box” to develop an innovative and inclusive product. The prize money would help us further develop our solution to create the first AI sign language interpreters to improve the quality of life of deaf individuals while consuming video content.
