HourOne is a video transformation company. We replace cameras with code, for the next generation of video for the world of work. We use advanced neural networks, machine learning and audio-visual pipelines to create synthetic characters that look and sound like real people. This way, a single character can deliver thousands of text lines to a video stream which people can interact with. We use a vast cloud infrastructure to maintain those characters, and to generate and edit thousands of videos across business verticals, such as e-learning, digital health and e-commerce. Behind each synthetic character is a real human being. Through contractual arrangements, we have permission to use their likeness in commercial use cases, for which they earn a fee. We clearly label all commercial content as computer-generated, to respect the user's right to know. Hour One was founded by veterans in the field of artificial intelligence and is backed by leading venture capital investors and entrepreneurs.
