D-ID, a leading platform for AI-powered interactions and content creation, has announced a new partnership with Microsoft, integrating its technology into Microsoft Azure. This collaboration aims to provide businesses and developers with the tools to create engaging, real-time AI avatars for a variety of applications, including Microsoft Teams, leading to more personalized customer experiences.
D-ID’s virtual avatars are designed to see, hear, and interact with people in real time, offering immersive experiences to make online communication feel more natural, with capabilities including voice, facial expressions, and even sign language. This integration with Microsoft will help enterprises and developers build agentic AI avatars that meet the highest security standards.
One significant aspect of D-ID’s work is breaking down communication barriers. The company’s technology enables real-time translation, allowing users to speak in any language while preserving their voice and matching lip movements. Furthermore, D-ID is developing groundbreaking solutions for accessibility. Their AI avatars can translate in real-time into sign language, creating more inclusive communication for the deaf and hard of hearing. Additionally, D-ID is providing communication solutions for people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and similar conditions that affect speech. This technology restores their ability to communicate in real time.
Gil Perry, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of D-ID, commented on the partnership, stating, “The AI avatar market is projected to exceed $700 billion by 2033, with significant adoption already underway, especially in the marketing and learning sectors.” Perry added, “By integrating D-ID’s technology with Microsoft’s platform, customers can create a more natural UI for AI. Our focus on ethics, security, and innovation makes this collaboration even stronger, positioning us as a trusted and reliable leader in the market.”
Annie Pearl, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Azure Experiences and Ecosystems at Microsoft, shared, “D-ID is improving communication and learning by adding a visually engaging, natural layer to AI agents. This innovation has the potential to make interactions more intuitive and impactful. D-ID empowers our joint customers with cutting-edge tools that redefine how we learn, collaborate, and connect.”
