AKOOL is an AI video generator with talking avatars, face swap and lip-synced video translation, for marketers, agencies and developers; per-seat plans.
AKOOL turns a text prompt, a photo or an uploaded clip into video, and can put a synthetic presenter or a translated voice into the result. Akool, Inc., a company based in Palo Alto, California, builds it. Avatars, face swap, translation, voice and generation models share one account on akool.com, and the company also publishes an iOS app. Avatar Video places talking presenters on a canvas, and the AI Video Editor adds text overlays, backgrounds and transitions around them. Streaming Avatar and live face swap work in real time, while Face Swap replaces faces in uploaded photos and videos. Video Translation re-voices a clip into another language with voice cloning, lip-sync and editable subtitle styles. The Voice Generator and Voice Changer handle narration on their own. Image to video and text to video run on AKOOL's own models and third-party ones such as Kling, Seedance, Sora 2, Veo 3.1 and Wan, and Video Agent and Agentic Canvas sit beside them in the same workspace. Marketers who need presenter-led videos, product clips and ads without booking a shoot are the core audience. Agencies and small businesses localising client work get dubbing, lip-sync and subtitles in one workspace, with Owner, Admin, Editor and Viewer roles for the people involved. First-time creators can start from avatars and templates, while experienced ones choose among many video and image models in one account. Developers get an API and an MCP server for building avatar video, image to video and text to video into their own products. Larger organisations can arrange SSO login and dedicated server resources. A common job is a training or onboarding video: a script goes onto an avatar, the editor adds captions, and the result is downloaded or shared straight to social media. Localisation teams upload a finished video, choose a target language and keep the speaker's own voice through cloning. Developers send image to video jobs in batches, or drive AKOOL from Claude, Cursor or Codex through the MCP server. Teams building real-time agents can connect AKOOL to LiveKit Agent as well. AKOOL fits teams that publish video often and want presenters, voices and languages handled in software rather than in a studio.
