Vyond

What is Vyond?

Vyond is an animated video platform with Vyond Go AI that turns prompts and documents into training, explainer and avatar videos for businesses. The company, formerly known as GoAnimate, has made animation software for more than a decade and is widely used in corporate training, HR and internal communications. Vyond Go can build a draft video from a prompt, a Word, PDF or PowerPoint file, or a URL, which you then edit in Vyond Studio.

Vyond differs from avatar-only video tools because it combines AI generation with a full animation editor, a large library of characters and props, and brand controls. Teams can mix animated scenes, AI avatars, screen recordings and stock footage in one project, add more than 650 text-to-speech voices and translate videos into 95 languages on higher plans. Typical uses are compliance training, onboarding, product explainers, policy updates and sales enablement.
