What sync. does

at sync. we're making video as fluid and editable as a word document how much time would you save if you could *record every video in a single take?* no more re-recording yourself because you didn't like what you said, or how you said it. just shoot once, revise yourself to do exactly what you want, and post. that's all. this is the future of video: *AI modified >> AI generated* we're playing at the edge of science + fiction. our team is young, hungry, uniquely experienced, and advised by some of the greatest research minds + startup operators in the world. we're driven to solve impossible problems, impossibly fast. our founders are the original team behind the open sourced wav2lip - the most prolific lip-sync model to date w/ over 10k+ GitHub stars. we [1] train state-of-the-art generative models, [2] productize + host them for scale [3] grow virally through content [4] upsell into enterprise

AI lipsync tool for video creators

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build an AI-based lipsync tool that lets video creators record videos in a single take and then edit what they say and how they say it using our AI-generated facial and lip animation. Our product makes video editing as fluid as working with a text document, cutting down the time creators spend on re-shoots and complicated edits.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is a hub for AI research and startups, plus it's where our whole team is currently located. We want to stay close to the talent, investors, and partners who understand deep generative AI and video.
