Creating engaging videos has become a priority for content creators and many companies invested in social media communication. However, high costs and technical complexity remain significant barriers for many. Argil, a startup emerging from the Y Combinator incubator, offers a solution: hyper-realistic AI avatars that enable users to quickly create multilingual videos at a competitive price.
Argil’s application is built on proprietary generative AI technology. Users can upload a simple video to create a virtual clone capable of speaking multiple languages and adapting to various formats. This technology is especially useful for content creators, educators, or small businesses seeking to produce high-quality content without the challenges of traditional methods. Argil’s pricing starts at €1 per minute of video, making video creation more accessible.
In addition to personalized avatar creation, the platform offers advanced features: automated pre-editing, conversion of text or audio content into animated videos, and a library of ready-to-use avatars. This positioning allows Argil to meet the growing demand for short, dynamic formats on platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
Since its launch, Argil has attracted several influential creators, including Kwebblekop, a YouTuber with over 15 million subscribers.
Argil recently announced a €3.9 million seed funding round led by EQT Ventures, with participation from Seedcamp, Axeleo, Charles Gorintin (ALAN, Mistral AI), and Kwebblekop.
