Hour One

Hour One is a Tel Aviv-based firm developing an AI-powered video generation tool, with virtual human presenters for business content. The platform offers a range of video templates, voices, avatars, and over 100 languages for video generation, and also allows users to create their own avatars. Users can make their selections and input a text prompt which the avatar will use to speak. The platform’s use cases include:

1) Learning and development: Production of product tutorials, sales and compliance training, and employee development videos

2) Human resources: Enhances outreach to potential candidates and personalizes onboarding processes and internal communications without requiring the time and effort of an HR team

3) News: Allows generation of branded company updates, multilingual news, and timely breaking news updates without a human anchor and film crew

4) E-learning: Converts text-based learning materials to video format

5) Language learning: Multilingual videos for language tutorials

6) Real estate: Personalized advertising for real estate listings

7) Ecommerce: Advertising of ecommerce stores and products

8) IT training: Videos for IT training courses.

Hour One also offers collaboration tools, captioning tools, and a brand kit for aligning generated videos with a company’s content. An API is available for the connection of an organization’s platforms to enable bulk import of prompts for the generation of videos.

Hour One uses a proprietary text-to-video and text-to-virtual human foundational model.
