Success, for us, is measured by how well Hour One augments human skills and time savings, rather than just focusing on efficiencies or incremental metrics like increased engagement (though these follow). For example, a language school can digitally transform at scale by using virtual instructors, freeing up instructional designers to reclaim a full year’s worth of work for reinvestment in more valuable initiatives.

"I want an avatar like Reid AI." That's what we at Hour One heard from Hollywood A-listers, CEOs of Fortune 100 companies and even 100-years-old sweet grandma Eileen (a World Record) after we created the Reid Hoffman avatar together with our friends at ElevenLabs and Ben Relles team. The thing is, they were expecting to recive amazing storytelling, perfect directing and top-tier video editing as part of their cinematic avatar, all from a prompt. Obvoiusly, this was a MISSION IMPOSSIBLE - the kind of challenge the Hour One team would gladly take on, even if it meant failing gloriously. So, did we succeed in our mission? NO! Was it a glorious failure? Well ..... ;)

At Hour One, we take data security seriously. We employ robust encryption measures and conduct regular security audits to ensure the protection of our clients' information. Watch as our CEO Oren Aharon, discusses our mission with SourceForge. Looking ahead, we're excited about introducing real-time interaction capabilities and expanding into cinematic use cases in the near future. Our long-term vision is even more ambitious – we see avatars becoming integral to communication and recreation on a global scale. We're on a mission to dispel the myth that AI-generated videos lack authenticity. At Hour One, we believe our tools enhance creativity and productivity for video producers, opening up new possibilities in digital communication.
