Virtual human startup expands innovative offerings and doubles US headcount
DeepBrain AI, a deep-learning-based video synthesis startup company and innovator of AI-generated virtual humans, announced its significant growth since the start of 2023, highlighting growth in revenue, user base, employees, and innovative new solutions.
A substantial amount of the growth has been driven by DeepBrain AI launching AI Studios 2.0 in March 2023 as the most fully featured generative AI video synthesis solution, enabling users to create full HD videos with virtual humans by simply typing a script with deep integration of ChatGPT. Since its launch, AI Studios’ revenue growth came in at just over 900% for the quarter, and DeepBrain AI’s user base grew 533%. From a user perspective, Product Hunt reviewers scored AI Studios 2.0 at an average rating of 4.9 stars (out of 5). Further growth for DeepBrain AI came in the form of doubling the size of the US team over the past year and being on track to hit three times growth by the end of the year.
Additionally, on the product innovation side, DeepBrain AI launched AI Interview in May 2023, a new service designed to modernize and streamline the interview screening process.
The industry first offering combines DeepBrain AI’s generative AI video with OpenAI’s large language model to create a first-of-its-kind automated question-and-answer session, guided by an AI Human, designed to help hiring managers quickly find and progress the right candidates to the face-to-face interview stage enabling a faster and smarter hiring process.
Also, in June 2023, the company announced it successfully deployed world-renowned professional golfer Kyung-ju Choi as an AI-generated Virtual Human to be a commentator at the KPGA Korean Tour “SK Telecom Open 2023”.
DeepBrain AI demonstrated that it is working closely with global leaders in cloud computing and hardware. In the first quarter, DeepBrain AI joined the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network (APN). In June, DeepBrain AI was announced as part of Lenovo’s AI Innovator partner ecosystem, in which Lenovo committed a US$1 billion investment over three years to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) deployment for businesses around the world. Also, this month, DeepBrain AI was featured in Microsoft’s AI Transformation Partner Playbook.
