D-ID is an Israeli generative-AI company founded in 2017 by Gil Perry, Sella Blondheim, and Eliran Kuta. The company built one of the earliest production generative-video platforms — initially for photo animation, then for full talking-avatar generation from a still image and a text or audio script.
D-ID's "Creative Reality" studio is used by enterprises for sales enablement, training video creation, and customer-service avatars, and has been integrated into Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services as a third-party generative-AI add-on. The company sits in the Israeli foundation-model and generative-AI layer alongside AI21 Labs and Lightricks.
D-ID has also led the industry on synthetic-media governance: the company supports the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) standard, embeds disclosure metadata in every generated asset, and publishes its model-use policies — positioning it as one of the more trust-and-safety-focused operators in the generative video category.
