Face Forward: Entering a New Era of AI Videos

Alright. Great. Well, let's jump in. Thanks for everyone joining us today. We're gonna join, and we're gonna take a look at our fall feature premiere. The theme of this fall is face forward, entering a new era of entering a new era of AI videos. And we're particularly excited about this session, because it is the four the first joint session after our DID and Simple Shoal merger. We're very excited about this, and, really, all this means we'll dive into that in a minute, but all this means is just better and greater things for you all and the audience. So we're very, very excited for you to be here and dive into it. So let's get started with some quick introductions. My name is Danny Bichardo. I'm the director of customer success here at Simple Show and DID. And Katya and Tal are joining me. I'm very excited for them to be here. I will go ahead and let them introduce yourselves. Yeah. Hello. Thank you, Danny. My name is Katya. I'm vice vice president of product for the video creation. And to be honest, I'm thrilled really to be here today. I think this is gonna be extremely valuable to everyone and, yeah, happy to be part of this webinar today. Hi, everyone. I'm Tal, v VP product as well of the interactive agents. We'll share more, about what this, actually means, and, super excited to be here as well. Love it. Thank you both for dedicating some time to us and to our audience today. So really quick overview of our agenda, just acquisition news, intro to the companies, why it matters to you. Then we're gonna dive into our feature premiere. We're gonna talk about our latest updates, and we can dive into those in more detail. And we'll wrap this up with the q and a session. So you can put your questions into the q and a section here of Zoom, and we'll address as many as possible towards the end of the session, when we, you know, we can get all the answers. You have access to myself, Katya, and Tal as well to help any any answer any questions you may have. And we also have our wonderful, team, from marketing on the background just helping answer any questions that might come up throughout. Alright. So a few weeks ago, Simple Show and DID announced that they are merging into one company under the DID brand. This merger isn't just about two companies joining forces. It's about uniting two complementary visions for how organizations can communicate. For years, both DID and Simple Show have been solving the same core challenges from different angles, how to make information not just easy to share but easy for audiences to connect with. Simple Show has focused for years on clarity, helping and empowering businesses produce content that is simple to understand and retain. While at the same time, DID has been developing technology that makes it easy for businesses to connect with various audiences. And together, we're building technology that brings people and information closer together. Or as we like to say, we are providing the human face of enterprise digital communications. And to help explain this better, what better way to do so than a short simple video? Let's take a look. Are you ready to change the way you communicate? We've made it possible. With AI videos and interactive agents, we're redefining enterprise communication, delivering the most innovative solution on the market. The future of corporate communication powered by DID. Wonderful. Love that clip. So invigorating. I love the energy behind it. It's super awesome. Crazy. Yeah. So quick summaries of both companies because some of you may not be familiar with them. Right? Simple Show built its reputation as simplification explanation experts, helping clients simplify and explain their most complex topics for over eighteen years. And all of that knowledge and expertise in creating great videos for clients has been put into a simple do it yourself platform where anyone, including yourself, can create an amazing video. At the same time, DID was founded in twenty seventeen and focused on developing AI solutions to give a voice and face that are so critical for digital communications. Over the past year, it has become the path the the go to platform for creating interactive digital humans that can respond in real time, enabling a new way for companies to communicate in ways that feel natural, conversational, and personal. So why does this matter to you? Well, you are the beneficiaries of this new era. For starters, you get to work smarter and faster. Not only that, but early access to innovation allows you to shape what's coming next. You get complete creation platform, a to z, all within one toolkit. And lastly, you can create with confidence with the top notch security. To help expand upon a little bit why this this is really beneficial for us, I'd like to just quickly ask our our panelists a few questions just to get their insights on this. So, really, for both of you, what do you think makes the company such a great fit? Katta, you're you're first on my screen here. Can we maybe we start with you. What are your thoughts on why we're such a great fit? So, amazing question, Dani. I think with SymbiShow and DID, we're truly combining the best of two different worlds. So as you said, SymbiShow brings storytelling expertise and an easy to use video creation application, while DID on the other side contributes, cutting edge AI avatar and agent technology. Together, we empower users to turn simple inputs like text or slides into professionalized humanized videos. And I think, especially towards the end of our webinar today, we'll give really nice examples how this combination comes into life. So stay tuned. Tal, how about you? What are what are your thoughts? So not not much to add to everything Tatia said, I think. DID has a very strong, technical backbone, with deep roots in the gen AI world and tech. We're constantly driving to innovate, to push boundaries of what's possible, and just combining those together is is a perfect match, and we're all super excited to to collaborate and work together. Great. Tal, sticking with you, I wanna ask, what is it that our customers can expect to see or do differently in the short term? What's, like, the most upcoming things they can expect? So we will share, more on the coming road map, so stay tuned for for a sneak peek, like Katya said. But but first up, and I think the, like, the the first release that will come is the one login for both platforms. Simple Show users will be able to tap into DID's avatars and and other products like the real time agents and video translations, while DID users will get the full access to all of SimpleShows, editor, and tools. Love that. Patio, on the reverse side, coming to you, what are some of the benefits users can look forward to having when they use a Simple Show video maker? Great question, Dani. And, you know, it's hard to just name a few because I think there are many reasons. But let me try to, point out three most important reasons. So, SimpaShow is the simplest application for creating explanatory videos that focus on the storytelling approach. Second, security is a top priority, and so ensuring data protection and compliance for our enterprise, users is extremely important to us. And then third and lastly, Simplicio VideoMaker provides very strong branding capabilities. And, of course, that's super important for every, enterprise corporate company out there. So we are ensuring that every video looks and feels just like your brand, because it can use your colors, change your watermark, add closing frames, and so on. Great. So a lot of great things being distributed to to all parts of our user community and very exciting. So now we've we've touched a little bit of on what what the benefits are for everyone coming into this new merged, company under DID. Let's talk about some other features. Right? That's what we're here for today. So quick overview of what we're gonna discuss. Slides to video is our latest and greatest feature. Video library, where you will have access to, and interactive visual agents. So first up, slides to video. It's a new way to transform any PowerPoint presentation into a full explainer video with just a few clicks. Our goal has always been to make a creating videos effortless so you spend less time designing and more time telling your story. We know your ideas already live inside existing documentations and PowerPoint decks and presentations, so now you can easily bring that to life by simply uploading your deck and selecting a visual style. Our system will automatically create a complete video that feels engaging, professional, and human. So how what are a few ways? You're probably thinking, how can I use this? What are some some use cases? Let's talk about that. For starters, with internal communication and training, with your slides and decks, you can instantly become they instantly become engaging videos. For example, compliance teams can turn policy changes into engaging updates, and people managers can share KPI results as a story. In sales and client outreach, slides to video lets you repurpose your sales presentations into personalized on brand content that feels direct and persuasive, all with a human face expanding your story instead of just a static deck. And within educational and professional learning, educators and trainers can take their lecture slides or workshop materials and instantly turn them into complain compelling videos. It's perfect for blended learning, online courses, or quick knowledge sharing inside of organizations. Well, we've talked about what it is, how you can use it a bit. Katya, this is the exciting part. Can you show us how you actually do it? How's it done? I'd love to. So let me take over the screen share, and welcome to Simpleshow VideoMaker. Let me adjust this really quickly. What you see here is my Simpleshow VideoMaker dashboard. That's the area where all my videos are stored, that I created so far. And, also, from here, I can start creating a new video. So, let's kick this off and, give our project a name, and we'll do a video today around promoting continuous learning. I think a very valuable, helpful topic to many of our target group. We are very much focused on on the elearning, department. And you have different ways you can start your story with. You can either let AI write your story. You can write your own script, your own story. You can upload a document and then simplify it. Here, we take your document. It might be a PowerPoint presentation. It can also be an image or a PDF. And we are taking care of actually simplifying it. Yeah. So we are changing the script and the narration. Now here is the new part. That's the slides to video feature where we are adding a digital speaker to your presentation. Yeah? So with this option, you can take your existing PowerPoint presentations and instantly transform them in compelling videos. And we are adding, a presenter and keeping the slides as they are. So let's start this. The first step here, it's one out of three different steps, is actually to upload our presentation. And I have prepared a presentation here promoting continuous learning. And let's quickly, run through this presentation here so you get a nice overview of what this is about. It's a slide that contains seven different slides, and let's browse through it. So it's about the vision of the L and D, and it talks about different pillars of the continuous learning. So this slide here, elaborates a little bit on the technology and the access. We have a second pillar and also a third pillar, And then the end is about the next steps and a question and contact slide. Yeah. So it might be a very typical, presentation that you might, where you might relay on. So now we are uploading this slide, and, Symposhow now automatically analyzes your slides. We do this in the background, and, we're preparing the digital voice over for your presentation. We're making sure that your slides stay exactly as they are. We'll just lift them up with a little layout. And this is what you can choose here in the next step. So your PowerPoint presentation will be integrated into one of these different layouts to just give them a little nice look and feel. So here in the office option, it looks like actually an avatar presents this within an office room. If you decide on having no layout at all, there is always the option to simply stick with the PowerPoint slides, and then they're on the full screen with an digital avatar added to it. Denital, any favorites? Anything you'd like to pick from this list here? What's your favorite? I wanna see top role number three probably. What do you think? Three. You wanna go maybe with the office too because that's my favorite one, to be honest. Yeah. That's what I was thinking. That's why I saw one of those. I'm like, oh, office kind of setting. Yeah. That's looking like, like a meeting room, like, a little bit. So we tried to lift this up a little bit and give the imagination that, really, this, avatar is presenting your slide deck, you know, like, as if it is within your office. And we are now entering the second stage, which is the visualize stage. This is where your PowerPoint slides now are really transformed into a video, into an engaging video. And you see this here on the left side that actually each, slide from your PowerPoint presentation, was converted into its own scene in Simpisho VideoMaker. So that's great already. And you can also see that we generated the script automatically. Yeah. So I guess the first intro is quite easy, but it says, like, hey. Welcome, to Innovative Ink presentation for fostering a culture of continuous learning, outlining, the learning and development strategy, and so on. And to be honest, this is actually, the most, my most famous feature, within this entire feature, and it's also feedback that we released, that we received from our clients. So they told us that when they tried to convert their presentation into a video, when they were doing it on their own, it was actually quite time consuming to generate all the speaker notes and and the voice over, and the part that the agent is actually speaking. So I think this is really exciting, yeah, that all this takes place on its own and that, actually, I, as a user, really don't have to worry about this anymore. Now to summarize quickly, each slide from your presentation becomes its own scene. Each slide is perfectly integrated into the layout that you picked. So in this case, it's within this screen here in the meeting room. And, also, the voice over was generated automatically. Let me tell you a little bit about all the features around the visualize stage. So maybe if you are new to Symposure, the script usually defines the rhythm of your video, and you can use many features on here. So let's start with the avatar. When I select the avatar here on the first scene, I have a selection of many different amazing avatars, very diverse, of course, female and male avatars, and we have a few enclosing, outfits as well. And so we have the possibility here to simply click a different one. Yeah? So I'd like to select Adam here. I think he looks very professional, has a great lip sync, and, yeah, I'll just pick him here. Additionally, to changing the avatar, we can always change any of the backgrounds. So if I simply select one, I can navigate here on the right side and choose different background templates. And for this new feature, we actually generated a new set of background templates. So here, you can actually see the different PowerPoint meeting, backgrounds. So you have the screen, from a little bit far behind zoomed in a bit more, and, also, like, a more creative one here on the desk. So let's pick this one for scene number six. And, of course, you have all the options of rearranging your slides. So in this version, maybe I'd like to place the power the the slide screenshot here directly on the desk, to just, you know, generate a little bit of a different perspective. So many, many features, that you can use here within your visualize stage. I think this is already good enough. So let's move on to the third step, which is the visualize step and where you take care of rather global settings within your video. So, first of all, let's pick, another voice over. So let's pick a male American premium voice here for our video. That's, Leon. And I would also recommend of removing the watermark, because usually all PowerPoint presentations have their logo on already. I think it shouldn't be double on each slide, and so that's why I'm removing it here. Now I think this is a fantastic video already. I can imagine, you know, everyone would like to see it, how it comes into action also with the avatar and so on. So, let's render the video here. And, we are entering the video landing page in just a second. That's the video landing page. And, of course, the rendering takes a few minutes. So right now, we are calculating five minutes. Of course, many things, many animations happening in the background. So, you know, I don't wanna let you wait here in the background. Danny, I know that we prepared the video, of course, like, prior to the webinar. Would you like to take over the screen share and, play the video? Yes. One second. Let me get that back up, and not sure why it's not letting me share my sound now. Technical difficulties. I apologize for that. Let's see. Let me let me stop and start again. That's odd. Well, I'll make sure to have my audio, and, hopefully, y'all can hear it okay. Let's go ahead and play this video. I love this part because I know I've who's a fan of cooking shows, baking shows? Is it cake? I'm a huge fan of those, and they never make you wait to see what what the cake how long it takes to make the cake. So we'll, we'll play out the video now what, Katya just rendered. Welcome to our presentation on fostering a culture of continuous learning, outlining our learning and development strategy for future growth. Our vision is to create a workplace where learning is part of daily life, encouraging proactive learning, supportive management acting as mentors, and a culture of open knowledge sharing across teams. The first strategic pillar focuses on technology and access, featuring a central learning experience platform that integrates external providers and offers diverse resources like courses, articles, videos, and an internal knowledge base. Our second pillar emphasizes content and programs, including specialized technical training in AI, data analysis, cloud computing, and cybersecurity, soft skills workshops, and role specific learning paths aligned with career development. The third pillar centers on leadership and culture where managers lead by example, integrate learning goals into reviews, establish dedicated learning hours, and and promote mentoring and peer knowledge exchange. Next steps include launching a pilot program, finalizing technology partnerships, rolling out a communication campaign to inform employees, and conducting leadership training workshops to support the learning culture. Thank you for your attention. We welcome your questions and suggestions as we embark on this continuous learning journey together. I love that. What a great video. I mean, honestly, I'm just seeing how it happened so quickly and you're able to put it together so quickly. Cut to it, I think it's awesome. You know, I know a lot of our clients might not want to present all the time, and so this is really great. And I I really love how instantly it integrated the slide into the screen. That was one of my favorite things. As soon as you clicked it, I was like, oh, wow. I love that. Love seeing how it just automatically makes it just feel nicer, right, within the room and everything. It was great. I just love the ease of use. It's like, really one click. It's amazing. Guys, I can't add anything else. Right? I think it's really exciting, and you you know that I've been using this feature already during development, and it's just fantastic. It's so great how you can level up the presentations you have already, and it's saving up also so much time, yeah, because you don't have to to hold these, presentations. Yeah. So speaking of saving time, I have a question for everyone in the audience, and I'm gonna bring up a poll, just to ask you all. So let me sorry. Let me get back here. How many hours a month do you spend delivering presentations? So this is something as as I mentioned, right, just not touch on it. Like, I feel like this will save a lot of time. People that don't have to necessarily give this presentation, you now add an Adam or a Ken or whoever, however you wanna name them. You add them to this presentation in just a few clicks, and they're able to deliver the message on your behalf and save you time, make it accessible offline at any time. Right? Katya, Tal, what do you think the number one answer is gonna be here? How often do you think? I wanna hear both of your opinions. Oh, I think product people spend a lot of time in meetings, and, of course, we are presenting many, many things. I think I don't wanna answer for you, Tal, but I think we are in the more than six hours segment. K. I I tend to agree. I guess it really depends on the role or the position, but I'm I'm assuming it will be one of the higher numbers here. I agree. Yeah. I I wanna say the same. I I think, Tal, you touched on something very important. Right? I always it can depend on the role, what everyone's responsibilities are. But I think at minimum, it's gonna save at least, you know, four hours a month. Right? Everyone is presenting something either once or every week or every other week, you're doing a one to two hour kind of presentation. So, alright, we'll give another few seconds for some respondents. See a couple of people still clicking in. Excited what our audience will say here on that question. K. Well, I'm actually a little surprised. It's I wanna say it's pretty evenly split across the board. Okay. There are results here, and everyone is, like, a little bit in the middle or, you know, more than six, like Katahir was saying. Right? And so I think there's there's a lot of time being spread out here. But, you know, even those who've answered two to four, like, you're looking at four hours a month roughly that you're able to save one hour a week. That's an extra little bit of lunchtime. And a great time to do other really amazing and helpful things. Right? Absolutely. Yeah. I'm looking for the extra lunch. The time for lunch. I'm looking for a nicer meal, relaxed meal. But no. Absolutely. Absolutely. I love that. Alright. So let's continue. Some of you may have noticed a little new button at the top little badge as Katya was presenting. And our other feature that we wanna discuss about today is our video library. So we're intro we're happy to introduce this asset video library stock video library. So you now have instant access to a large collection of high quality stock video clips that you can use in your as a background. As you saw, we can change backgrounds or as any other visual element within your clips within your videos and your projects. So now you can have dynamic real world visuals directly within the video editor. Katya, would you mind showing us how this works, kinda diving into that part a little bit, a little button that we kind of left there hanging? Yeah. Are you referring to this little button up here, the new batch on the stock library? That's my favorite thing to see on our tools every time, the little new batch. I love the I I'm sure that's the same for everyone in the audience too. So if you follow SimpleShow carefully and maybe if you've been in one of the, last webinars, you might recognize this video because just shortly, we released a feature where you can actually add a video to the SimpleShow video maker. And you can do this in three different places. You can add it in between every scene. Super helpful. You can add it into your background, so it pays actually in the background, or you can add it on your keyword. Until this point, it was only possible to upload material that was already on your computer. So that could have been a screen share or someone talking to the audience. And what our client feedback does is is that for rather emotional content, they don't have this on their computer. And so we decided to actually add a stock library. So to all the places, you can actually now also upload a video from a stock library. Let's, do this on an example. So this is a video that we, where we, actually, show how you can request vacations, also a great topic next to continuous learning. And, on I'd like to replace this image and rather have a a video playing here. So let's open the stock library. And what I'm imagining here is kind of like a computer where someone is typing. Right? Because the script actually is about simply logging in. So, I'd like to have, like, a computer and someone typing. Let's see what we get here. Typing. Right? It's good if you can spell correctly, and you get a great selection of different videos. In the background here, we have the Pexels library, and you can browse through really many, many pages. It's not only more, three. It's it's many more. But let's pick one from the first page. So I'm envisioning something like this on portrait mode, either this one or that one. So let's pick this, and I'm placing it here on the right side. And then now when this video is played, actually, when the keyword simply is being spoken, this video appears. And then also when the scene is done, so when the last word is spoken, everything including the video is, disappearing from the scene to then transition to the next one. Now, you know, getting a little bit more emotion, the video looks, more modern, more exciting, more remarkable, and uplifting the video here in the scene. And we can do something very similar on the second scene. Here, it's actually kicking off, that it's, of course, important, at our company to taking time off. And I'd really like to have a background here that shows a beach scene. I like spending my holidays at a beach. So also here on the right side now next to the upload area, you'll find the stock library. And let's simply search for beach. Just make sure this is the beach that Tammy is gonna come to in Florida. K. So does this look like a beach in Florida or that one? No. Or this one or this one? So many beaches. All of them. They all look incredible. Okay. I'll I'll just join you guys. I selected this one, yeah, because I think it's a little bit, you know, kind of, like, laid back, and you can see how the waves are coming in and out. So I think this is a cool addition to the scene, actually, when we make this a little bit larger. Yeah. If this video is played, actually, the background moves. Also, really a great and very valuable background image here. Danny, it's the same again with the cooking show. Yes. I'm cooking, and you're, like, always presenting the final dish. Happy. Happy. Please. Sorry to sorry to to steal your thunder. This is the fun part. Right? When everyone oh, look. It's great. It's delicious. I think, actually, the fun part is doing the demo. I'm fine. Yeah. I'm I'm fine with you presenting the dish. Love it. Alright. Well, let's take a let's take a quick look, and see these the scenes that Katya edited here. We'll play this out. At our company, we believe that taking time off is essential for your well-being and productivity. That's why we encourage you to use your vacation days to recharge. Your time account keeps track of your hours and vacation days. To request time off, simply log in, whether you're in the office or working from home. Click on the day you want to start your vacation. Now you can choose your vacation days and hit send request. Alright. Saw a quick glimpse of that and see how all these things are kinda coming together with the different, clips in the stock library in the video. Right? We've got some of these things here, which is great. Tammy, hopefully, you're visualizing yourself in this place, and I love the video. Super super easy to use. I think very self explanatory once you're in the in the tool and very straightforward. Keep an eye out for that little new batch. Alright. So moving on to our next feature that we wanna highlight today. So far, we've been talking a lot about SimpleShow and how it helps you bring clarity, motion, and storytelling into your video content by turning slides into videos or enriching your scenes with live footage from our stock library. But there's one more piece that takes all of this to the next level, and that's human connection. Nothing communicates better than a real face, a voice, and a natural conversation, and that's where DID comes in. Our visual agents are realistic, expressive avatars powered by AI that can speak and respond in real time. You can think of them as the bridge between your content and your audience being the human face of your digital experience. To give you a sense of what that looks like, let's take a look at this short video that shows how DID's visual agents bring life and personality to every message. Meet Anna. She just wants a simple answer from customer support. She's struggling to get the chatbot to understand her. Don't be a bot. Hi. How can I help you? DID's visual agent has got you. Our AI agents aren't just smart. They're responsive, personal, and actually help. Let's make this simple. You talk, I get it done. Which loan works for my renovation? Let's hope. A four point two percent saving one hundred eighty dollars to come. Pull the q two deck, please. Slides ready. Numbers up to date. Does this jacket run small? For you, Maya, a medium fits perfectly. Boost engagement and redefine your brand experience with BIV visual agents. Start for free today. It's a great video. Amazing. I know the original. I think the voice over was a little bit imperfect. Dani, you said you had some issues with the voice over. Be sure that's even a little bit greater when you see, when you see it with true voice over and and sound. Yeah. Absolutely. I apologize. I don't know what what happened here with Zoom and the screen sharing. My I lost the ability to share my computer sound, but we'll make sure to include this, and and we'll include links for where you can see, this clip yourself. But it is an amazing clip. Love hearing it and seeing it. Absolutely. Danny, it only proves all this is is done live. Right? So apologies for many maybe anything that's not running perfectly. Yeah. Alright. Well, why do we think this is the future? We just saw a little bit about, you know, kind of highlighting all the different ways you could use it, but we really wanna boost engagement with the human like interactions. And studies have found that people prefer to engage with an avatar or a digital human over text bot or voice bots. Humans are hardwired to have face to face conversations, and they react better to having a person to speak to even if they know that person isn't real. And, Tal, so I wanna bring you into this conversation because this is where where you lead, our product team. Can you show us a demo of how we can create visual agents and what they're capable of? Happy to share that. Give me a second. I'll share my screen. So, basically, what you will see in a second is an agent, and we actually use the same deck from Katya's demo, of the slides to video feature and trained an agent on it. Give me a second. Okay. Can you see my screen? Yes. Perfect. So like I said, this is, the same agent from, Katya's video, who actually has the same the deck that Katya used in the actual video as its knowledge base. So let's start. Hey, Adam. Can you introduce yourself to everyone? Of course. I'm powered by Innovate Inc's presentation fostering a culture of continuous learning. That means I know all about the company's approach to learning and development from vision to strategy to measuring success. What's the big vision behind Innovate's learning strategy? To make learning part of everyday work life, employees are encouraged to grow continuously, managers act as mentors, and teams share knowledge openly. It's about turning learning into a habit, not a one off event. Okay. Let's, switch things up. Quiz me. Alright. First question. Which strategic pillar focuses on creating a unified platform that brings all learning resources together? I'm actually not sure. Was it employee engagement? Not quite, but that's a nice try. The correct answer is technology and access, which ensures every employee can easily find and engage with learning materials across the organization. Next question. True or false, continuous learning only benefits new employees? False. It benefits everyone. Exactly. Continuous learning builds engagement, innovation, and long term growth. So you didn't get them all right this time, but great effort. Learning's all about making progress. Thanks, Adam. That was great. My pleasure. That's the power of giving knowledge a voice and a face. Do you need anything else? So I think this was actually a a pretty cool demonstration, and an emphasis of the the strength of this partnership and how together we will transform the way users consume their content today. So if today content is is static, together, we can actually make this content, interactive and and personalized. Yeah. I love that. It's so cool to see Adam just quizzing you just at a at a moment's notice just when you ask him. Right? So I think that's incredible that someone can have this just kind of natural conversation and challenge them to challenge themselves. Right? So I think that's wonderful. Alright. So let me continue. Tal, we saw now how we you know, what what an example of a of a a visual agent can be. What makes a good visual agent? What are the things that we should be considering, and what are our what are what are we keeping in mind to make sure we align and make this high quality? So when when we think about, about a a great agent, a great visual agent, we usually think think of it in four different pillars. And the first one is the appearance. So how human does the agent look like? How does it sound? How does it react to whatever you're saying? And the second thing is the personality, how the agent behaves, the tone, the role, and the interaction style. So do you want it to be corporate style and efficient or more fun and engaging? Should it have, like, break with a joke or be your teacher or coworker? And and all of these are easily customizable on our platform. Intelligence refers to the agent's brain. So what powers the agent? Is it a generic LLM? Our out of the box LLM is use we're using Azure OpenAI LLMs, but it's also possible to plug in a custom LLM, a proprietary LLM that you might have. Does it have any knowledge base that it's basing its answer on? And last but not least is the skills. So I like to call it the hands of the agent. So what can the agent actually do? It can be as simple as answering questions or quizzing like we just see, like we've just seen in the demo, but it can also perform real world tasks like scheduling meetings, emailing, searching for answers in the web, presenting visuals on the screen. So possibilities are pretty endless here. And within this, agentic world of skills and tools, we're always working to add more capabilities, and there is a lot to come in the in the coming quarter. Love that. Yeah. So I I love these pillars, and I think it it makes a lot of sense. Right? And you touched on something that I I've been thinking about. Right? Possibilities are endless, and that's really what we're here to help, you know, all of our customers and clients understand how they can apply this to their own use cases and businesses. Alright. So we've seen it in action. And and, really, Tal, you and I were discussing this the other day. And one of the things that you shared with me was this this this visual here. And I thought it was really interesting, and I wanted to make sure everyone in the audience who could take a look at this, a little bit of what's under the hood of the visual agents. So it shows the journey and the exchange that the agent goes through across every step. And I just wanted to point out, like, this is something as we see the steps that if you were to ask a colleague at work, you'd probably get a response like, sure. Give me till end of business day to get some of this stuff back to you. Right? And in the visual agents workflow, it happens in milliseconds, in a second. Right? It's it's incredible. So, yeah, so, Tal, I just wanted to share this with everyone. I don't know if you wanna add anything to this. Yeah. So maybe I'll do a very quick walk through on this because there is a lot going on in, like, behind the scenes when a user talks to a visual agent. So the user's voice is turned into text, which is then enriched, with with, the debt with the database, the knowledge of that agent. We then process it through the LLM to generate an answer based on the agent's role and the personality, everything we talked about earlier. The answer is then converted back into speech, which is then sent to DIDs, visual models, generating the, like, the magic of the speaking agent in real time. So you're not just talking to an AI bot, but you're having a real visual conversation. Yeah. No. Incredible that this all these steps happen just almost instantly. And like I said, if you ask someone at work to do the favor for you, they'd probably tell you to get back to you later in day or tomorrow. So, and we're always looking to improve. Right? So we promised we'd take a look at what's next, and here we are. Right? Our innovation has never stopped. We have this in unquenchable thirst to continue innovating, and we wanna give you a quick glance at what's coming up next. So first one we wanna highlight is interactive videos. Katya, maybe you wanna take this one and just tell the audience what is what does this mean for us? Sure. So today, what we saw is a video that I generated based on a presentation. And then later, you saw Tal actually interacting with the same agent, which had the specific knowledge of the presentation. And I think this was already remarkable. Now imagine a product, an interactive video that combines both worlds, so explainer videos with interactive agents. Imagine a video that you can stop at any time, ask questions, and, get answers in real time, so live, like in Tal's presentation. And then you can talk to the agent and clarify questions. And we love interactive videos. And, also, like, this is why the collaboration is so great, and the merger because it's a dynamic, personalized, and really immersive viewer experience. Maybe now for this use case, you guys can imagine that agents with emotions might be extremely valuable. Tau, what do you think? I couldn't agree more. I'll I'll start with saying that the interactive videos is actually something we're all very excited, to work on, like, transforming the way users are used to consume content today and and, like, really looking forward to to see this. Danny, if you can, move to the next one. So like Katya said, we're all waiting for we're all looking for our avatars and our agents, to look as human and as real as possible. And we're taking a very big step forward with how our avatars look and sound and interact with users. And so our next gen avatars, which are coming soon, are more realistic, more natural, and super expressive, and you will see that in a demo in a second. We're combining, a few, like, tech models of SPLAT and diffusion models to bring the the liveliness of diffusion models into real time conversations. And this will actually be the first truly real time expressive avatar on the market. Actually, I wish I could see everyone's faces when, Danny, when you'll be playing this video. Yeah. Yeah. Me too. I would love to see everyone's reactions. But, yeah, let's go ahead and and show them what what's what's coming up soon. What? Don't tell me the Wi Fi dropped again. Every time I'm about to say something smart, I start buffering. I'm an expressive avatar, not a loading screen. And then people call me just a bot or a talking head. Excuse me. I have expressions, emotions, and attitude. Too much emotion? Please. This is digital drama done right. Love that. I I I can really empathize with him. And and if I was see if you would see all my reaction to my lack of being able to share sound that have the similar feelings of him right now. So I love it. Very expressive. I think it was so great. A lot of hard work being put there. Thank you, Tal and team. Alright. So the other item that we wanted to quickly touch on, Tal, you mentioned earlier, is just remind everyone. The one thing that you're gonna see sooner than everything else is the ability to access both platforms within your current with your current access. So anyone that has a DID login will be able to log in with SimpleShow, to SimpleShow using their DID credentials and vice versa. If you have SimpleShow access, you will be able to log in to the DID software platform using your Simple Show credentials. So that's really what's coming up very shortly. Quickly, if you liked what you saw today, please scan the QR code. You're invited to have a short meeting with any one of our account executives, dive deeper into the different feature sets, answer questions, and discuss with our team how you can actually leverage these tools to your advantage. So I wanna let you know this is we're gonna jump into our q and a session now, but I wanted to bring this up quickly before we get to that. So we would now jump in. And if you are dropping off, please note that you do have a a survey, so maybe just leave some feedback there. We always look forward to that. So without further ado, let's jump into some of the questions we've had. I've seen a lot of stuff come into the chat. We've gotten different things in the q and a section, so I appreciate you all communicating and and and letting us know what your questions are. So first question from Michelle, can this replace a college professor's in person in classroom lecture? You know what mean? Any of the use cases? Tom, maybe do you wanna take this one? Sure. So I think, actually, like, personal personal learning is is an amazing use case. You can create an agent with all the knowledge of a certain professor and and more probably than that certain professor has. You can give it a personality, whether, you're teaching younger kids, adults, etcetera, and, you know, and let the users interact with it and learn through it. And I think, like, one of the things we didn't touch here before, but one of the advantages of agents is also the insights that you can get aft after that, after those conversations, because, we can analyze the the conversations, and we can learn from that what parts are students not understanding and are asking more questions, how can we improve the agent, what other content might be interesting or needs more clarifications. So anything around education, l and d, is is really a very good fit, and especially with the combination that that we just saw before of, like, offline content and then also being able to to interact with it. K. Great. And I and I looked over this one. This one also, I think, is is really relatable to this. With the DID agent, we want, someone's asking, we want them not just to chat or talk with users, but also perform background actions. I know you touched on that a little bit within, you know, maybe within our demo being able to, like, execute a couple of things. But can we technically enable such workflows in DID's ecosystem? Is there an API or event based mechanism that lets the agent call external functions, process data, and return the results seamlessly within the con the the same conversation? So I hope I'm understanding correctly the question. The short answer is yes, and that's part of what I refer to as as skills. So we already have some of the skills capabilities and options to call external or internal API, servers, but we're also continuing to improve that. So when we talk about skills, we have a a few kinds of skills. So it can be skills that are executed at the end of the conversation, for example, analyzing the conversation and giving insights. And it can also be during chat, skills, like schedule a meeting or rendering a graph or an image or a quizzing. So some of this is already available, and the the extra things will be rolled out in the in the coming quarter. Okay. Great. And the last question, I think, is probably for both of you, the one that I'm seeing here. This one, I think, is both. Is it possible to integrate my own avatars into the layout? Yes. That's absolutely possible. You can generate your own avatar, your own agent on the DID platform. And then as, we are still merging together, you need to get in touch with us so we can also add this to Simpishaw VideoMaker. But this is one of the plans of of merging the two platforms. This will happen seamlessly next year. Okay. Great. And I know we're we're pretty much coming up on time. Let's see. Maybe we have time for one more question. I know we had so many. But, yeah, I think I think we're gonna wrap it up. Any questions that we did not get to during today's session, please, we will we will reach out to you. We have them all logged, and we'll we'll make sure someone reaches out and connects with you. But we wanna thank you all for joining us today. Thank you for your time. We hope you found it interesting and educational, and wanna make sure you we urge you, encourage you all to give the new features a try.
