D-ID

D-ID is a Tel Aviv-based generative AI company specialising in digital humans and AI video avatars, having raised $48 million including a $25 million Series B led by Macquarie Capital. In September 2025, D-ID acquired simpleshow — the leading AI explainer video company — creating the worlds first combined digital human and AI video powerhouse serving enterprise clients.

The simpleshow acquisition brought 1,500+ corporate Fortune enterprise clients and a global network of agencies, complementing D-IDs existing customer base that includes Microsoft, Deutsche Telekom, PwC, and Deloitte. D-ID operates in the $50 billion digital human market and the rapidly growing AI avatar space.

The company pioneered Live Portrait technology for real-time talking head video generation — enabling photos of any person to be animated to speak any script in any language — and has evolved into a comprehensive platform for AI-generated video communications: Creative Reality Studio for batch video production (used by enterprises for multilingual training videos and marketing content), Agents for conversational AI avatar customer service representatives, and CX Solutions for interactive digital human customer experiences deployable on websites, kiosks, and mobile apps. D-ID technology powers AI avatars embedded in third-party platforms through its developer API, serving HRtech, EdTech, MarTech, and customer experience (CX) applications at scale.

The companys digital humans are indistinguishable from real presenters to 87% of viewers in blind studies. D-IDs Agents enable real-time AI conversations with video avatars in under 1 second latency — deployed by enterprises for always-on AI sales assistants, onboarding guides, and support specialists.
