Hour One Demo Shows Generative AI Adding New Life to Videos
From virtual humans to transforming videos and images with new scripts
Is it virtual human technology or generative AI? Oren Aharon, CEO and co-founder of Hour One joined me on the Voicebot Podcast to talk about the company’s new feature called Activate. It enables you to take stock videos of people and add a script, and Hour One will make them talk. You can do the same with a video of you. Switch up what you are saying in the text editor, and it will alter the video to align your mouth and facial movements to match the new dialogue.
I think you will enjoy the entire conversation, and don’t miss the demo here. Arahon shows a final video and then reveals what it looked like before using the Activate feature. Seriously, you will like it!
In addition, we discuss use cases, platforms such as TikTok and YouTube, enterprise users, and how ChatGPT changed Hour One’s business.
Let me know what you think in the comments below.
