5 Reasons Why Elai is the Best AI Video Generator in 2025
Video content is no longer optional—it’s essential for engagement, education, and brand growth. What if you could streamline the process, cut production time in half, and still deliver polished, high-quality videos?
That’s where Elai comes in. This cutting-edge AI video tool empowers creators, marketers, and educators to turn text into professional, studio-quality videos—no cameras, actors, or editing software required. Recent studies show that companies using AI generated videos for training reduce costs by up to 30% while improving knowledge retention by 50%.
For businesses and creators alike, that means fewer costs, better outcomes, and faster production cycles. Even more impressively, digital learning methods—like those enabled by AI video generation tools—can increase retention rates from just 8–10% to a remarkable 25–60% compared to traditional methods.
Elai provides customers with a scalable, collaborative, and brand-consistent video production system. With its intuitive interface and robust toolset, you’ll go from script to shareable video in minutes, not days.
1. Cost-Effectiveness
One of the most compelling reasons to choose Elai is its unmatched cost-effectiveness. Traditional video production is notoriously expensive—costs quickly add up when factoring in actors, studio time, voice-over artists, editing teams, and location rentals. Elai replaces all that with a streamlined, AI-driven platform that delivers professional-quality videos at a fraction of the price.
To put it in perspective:
- Corporate Videos: A 60-second traditional corporate video typically costs between $3,300 and $7,700, with some projects reaching up to $16,000.
- Enterprise-Level Productions: Depending on complexity and requirements, these can escalate to $10,000 to $50,000 or more.
A prime example is Sigma Software Group, which adopted Elai and achieved a staggering 90% reduction in video production costs.
Another client, SmartExpert, saved over $70,000—a dramatic reduction that allowed for greater content output and better resource allocation.
With Elai, businesses and creators can produce high-quality, branded video content at scale, without breaking the bank. Whether you’re a startup managing lean budgets or an enterprise looking to optimize workflows, the financial benefits of switching to AI video production are clear and compelling.
2. Increased Engagement
As proven by real-world case studies, Elai dramatically enhances audience engagement. For instance, Sigma Software Group reported an average 35% increase in learning engagement after incorporating Elai videos into their training programs.
Similarly, PetroShore experienced a remarkable milestone: videos created with Elai were watched over 10,000 times on their website, with viewers actively watching up to 60% longer than before — a clear sign of heightened interest and retention.
Moreover, the Kazakh-British Technical University saw university trainers report a 30% higher retention rate and a 50% boost in student engagement thanks to interactive AI-driven video content. These results highlight how Elai captures and sustains attention, making learning and communication more effective and memorable.
3. Personalization
MacPaw, a global software company, turned to Elai to transform its sales outreach using personalized video messages. Facing the challenge of scaling meaningful communication, MacPaw’s sales team leveraged Elai’s AI-powered platform to automate the creation of hyper-personalized videos through a single script and the Elai API. This strategy led to a significant increase in email engagement and global reach, all while slashing video production time from hours to minutes. In fact, MacPaw reports saving 100% on average in video content production costs. Personalized video messaging not only helped them build deeper connections with prospects but also gave them a competitive edge in capturing attention and fostering trust, proving that personalization can drive both efficiency and results.
4. Scalability and Reach
Elai’s ability to scale video production and support multilingual content has transformed how organizations educate and engage global audiences. For instance, the Kazakh-British Technical University (KBTU) leveraged Elai to develop 18 complete courses, reaching over 5,000 students. The platform’s multilingual capabilities allowed KBTU to produce content in Kazakh, English, and Ukrainian, ensuring accessibility for diverse student groups.
Similarly, Sonovision expanded its training reach across 8 countries, including India, France, Spain, and the U.S., demonstrating the global scalability Elai enables.
SmartExpert exemplified production efficiency, creating more than 10,000 minutes of video while significantly reducing client costs.
Petroshore also achieved notable impact, with over 30,000 views on its web-based training programs.
These results underscore how Elai empowers institutions and businesses to rapidly scale their learning and communication efforts while maintaining language inclusivity.
5. Time savings
One of the most compelling reasons to use Elai for video production is the substantial amount of time it saves, measured not in hours but in weeks or even months. For teams creating educational or training content, Elai’s AI-powered workflow turns what used to be a long, resource-intensive process into a streamlined, near-instant experience.
SmartExpert, for example, has saved over 800 hours in training video production by shifting to Elai. This time gain has allowed their team to focus more on content quality and learner engagement, rather than getting bogged down in editing and filming logistics.
SendPulse offers another clear case: producing a 35-lesson video course previously took 2–3 months. With Elai, the same content can be created in a fraction of that time, saving at least two weeks per project. What once required a team of editors, scriptwriters, and voiceover artists can now be accomplished with just a few clicks.
Kazakhstan’s KBTU (Kazakh-British Technical University) also embraced Elai’s capabilities to accelerate its course creation pipeline drastically. Previously, one course could take over two months to produce. Now, by using Elai’s text-to-video features, educators can convert lecture notes or presentations into polished, multilingual videos almost instantly.
In all these cases, Elai accelerates and transforms the video creation process. What used to take weeks now takes minutes, giving teams back their most valuable resource: time.
