Explainer videos and digital humans — at first glance, two very different technologies. But they share the same mission: making complex content clear, emotional, and engaging.
For over 15 years, simpleshow has helped organizations turn complicated topics into simple, memorable stories through explainer videos.
“Our mission has always been to simplify complex information so that everyone can understand it, — with ease and a touch of storytelling,”
Today, thousands of companies worldwide rely on the AI-powered simpleshow video maker to communicate with clarity, engage their audiences, and scale their messaging — a foundation that now expands even further with the addition of interactive avatars. They put a face to your message, speak in natural language, and bring stories to life in a way that feels personal and authentic.
That’s where D-ID comes in. With its interactive avatar technology, the company has created digital humans that don’t just talk — they listen, respond, and hold real-time conversations.
“Our vision is to make communication more human and interactive — with avatars that don’t just talk, but truly listen,”
Storytelling and digital humans are becoming increasingly inseparable, and together, they’re shaping the future of communication. That’s why D-ID and simpleshow are now taking this synergy to the next level and will soon be combined companies.
On September 16, the official announcement was made that the two companies would become one. Together, simpleshow and D-ID (soon operating solely under the D-ID name) are building a combined force that unites the best of both worlds – opening up completely new possibilities for corporate communication.
What stays the same?
Despite all these changes, one thing is important to stress: your trusted tool, simpleshow video maker, will continue to exist — delivering the same quality and user-friendliness you’ve come to rely on for years. You can keep creating projects the way you always have: quickly, intuitively, and with the confidence that the result will be a professional explainer video. (And of course, exciting new features will keep being added!)
The team supporting you will also remain the same. Your familiar contacts and support staff will still be there for you — with the same dedication that has always set simpleshow apart from other video tools.
“Our customers can count on the fact that what they love about simpleshow won’t be lost — in fact, we’re building on it,”
What’s new?
The merger with D-ID paves the way for a future where video communication is more personal, interactive, and global than ever before.
- Real-time interactions: AI avatars can respond instantly to employee questions or guide customers like a personal assistant, offering answers as if they were sitting right beside them. Perfect for e-learning, customer service, or digital events.
- Custom brand avatars: Soon, you’ll be able to create tailored avatars — designed to reflect your brand, image, and messaging. This gives your company a consistent, authentic presence, whether for internal communication or external campaigns.
- Advanced AI features: Lip-syncing in multiple languages will let you roll out content internationally without extra effort. Video campaigns can be automatically scaled, allowing you to deliver the same message to different global target groups simultaneously.
“We’re combining our leading avatar technology with simpleshow’s incredible storytelling tool. This unlocks entirely new opportunities for companies worldwide,"
simpleshow and D-ID together share one clear mission and vision: to make your communication projects more efficient, interactive, and engaging.
How videos and interactive avatars complement each other in your company

- E-Learning & Training
A compliance video teaches the basics. Then, an avatar trainer follows up — asking questions, running quizzes, or simulating role plays.
- Customer Service & Support
A video explains core functions. A service avatar guides users through the process, responds to questions, and links to additional videos when needed.
- Sales & Marketing
A product video showcases benefits. A live avatar expert answers audience questions and adapts messaging to different target groups.
- Internal Communication
A change process is introduced in explainer-video style. Afterwards, an avatar spokesperson fields employee questions – turning a message into a dialogue.
FAQ
