Elai, worked by an AI employee
Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Elai account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What Elai is
Elai is an AI video generation platform for creating, personalizing, translating, and rendering presenter-led videos from text, templates, and uploaded media.
You paste in a key from your own Elai account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Elai whenever you like.

You ask
You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.

It decides what the job needs in Elai. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.
What it can do in Elai
These are the ready-made tools your AI employee already has in Elai. It is not limited to them, but it never has to be taught these.

- Create Story VideoCreate a Story video from text, HTML, or a web-page URL and generate its visual slides so it is ready for rendering. The video counts against Elai's creation quota; a failed slide-
- Delete VideoPermanently delete one Elai video or template. This cannot be undone, requires the exact known ID, and requires explicit confirmation.
- Estimate Speech DurationEstimate how many seconds narration text will take with a selected Elai voice before modifying or rendering a video.
- Get VideoGet a video's status, render URL, metadata, and optionally its full slide configuration.
- List AvatarsFind available avatars and variants as compact records, optionally limited to Realtime-compatible avatars.
- List VideosList videos and templates as compact summaries, with filters and a continuation cursor for additional pages.
- Render VideoStart asynchronous rendering of a prepared video, consuming paid rendering minutes. Requires confirmpaidrender=true. Use Get Video afterward to check status and obtain the final UR
You stay the boss of your Elai account.
Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.
How we handle your data- It signs in to your own Elai account. You are not moving anything into ours.
- You grant access one app at a time, and you can take it back the same way.
- Everything it does in Elai is written down, with what it did and when.
- Anything you tell it to check with you first, it checks with you first.
It works in Elai and the rest of your software in the same job
A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.
Questions people ask about Elai
- Can an AI employee really work inside Elai?
- Yes. It signs in to your own Elai account and works in it the way a new hire would, from the chat your team already has open. Nobody installs anything, and nobody learns a new screen.
- Do I have to move anything out of Elai?
- No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in Elai, your team carries on in the same screens they used yesterday, and your AI employee works alongside them in there.
- How does it get into my Elai account?
- You paste in a key from your own Elai account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Elai whenever you like. You approve it before anything connects, and you can take the access back the same way you gave it.
- What can it actually do in Elai?
- It has 8 ready-made tools in Elai today, among them Copy Video, Create Story Video and Delete Video. The full list is on this page. It is not limited to those, but it never has to be taught them.
- Can it use Elai and the rest of my software in the same job?
- Yes, and that is usually the point. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in Elai and writing the result somewhere else is one request to your AI employee, not three separate ones you stitch together.
- Who decides what it is allowed to do in Elai?
- You do. You grant access one app at a time and can withdraw it at any time, anything you ask it to check with you first it checks with you first, and everything it does in Elai is written down with what it did and when.
