Elai.io is an AI avatar video platform focused on training and L&D video production, turning scripts into presenter-led videos with 80+ avatars and support for 75+ languages, built by Elai for corporate training, onboarding, and internal-communications teams. It offers a genuine free plan, paid subscriptions, and a public API.
Who builds it
Elai.io positions itself around a straightforward script-to-avatar-video workflow rather than broader generative video features, with plan tiers that scale primarily by monthly render minutes and export resolution. A public API is available for teams that want to trigger avatar-video generation from an LMS, HR system, or other internal tool instead of the web editor.
Core features
- 80+ AI avatars for presenter-led training and communications video.
- 75+ supported languages, letting one script be localized into many training videos without re-filming.
- Script-to-video generation — write or paste a script and Elai renders an avatar presentation from it.
- Public API for programmatic, LMS- or workflow-integrated video generation.
- Full HD export on Free and Creator plans, rising to Ultra 4K HD on Team and above.
- Tiered monthly render minutes — Free includes 1 minute, Creator up to 15 minutes/month, Team 50 minutes/month, with custom volume on Enterprise.
Pricing
Elai.io is freemium: the Free plan is $0/month with no commitment, though it's capped at roughly 1 minute of rendered video. Paid plans start at $29/month (Creator, up to 15 minutes/month at Full HD). The Team plan raises the monthly render allowance to roughly 50 minutes and unlocks Ultra 4K HD export; Enterprise offers custom volume. Elai's pricing page does not separately state a watermark policy or commercial-use terms per tier, so confirm those directly with Elai before relying on a specific plan for branded or commercial output.
Who it's for
Elai.io fits corporate training, onboarding, and internal-communications teams that need a steady stream of localized, script-driven avatar videos and want API access to plug generation into an LMS or HR workflow rather than working purely through a web editor. Its 1-minute free tier is useful mainly for evaluating avatar quality and workflow, not for producing finished free videos at volume; teams with heavier monthly render needs should budget for at least the Creator or Team tier.
