D-ID , a platform provider for digital human generation, has acquired simpleshow, a pioneer in AI video, for an undisclosed amount. The newly formed joint venture will operate under the D-ID brand and will revolutionize corporate communications through the power of conversational visual agents, establishing a leading position in the enterprise AI video and interactive AI avatar markets. Specifically, the merger of the two companies will combine D-ID’s cutting-edge interactive AI visual agent and AI avatar technology with simpleshow’s industry-leading explainer video production tools. This will enable the provision of a comprehensive, enterprise-grade platform that enables human-like, two-way video communication.
simpleshow has over 15 years of expertise in AI-driven video production and serves over 1,500 large enterprises worldwide, primarily Fortune 500 companies. By combining this expertise with D-ID’s real-time avatar technology, clients can utilize AI avatars as “digital employees” in a wide range of business processes, including sales development, product presentations, training, coaching, and HR onboarding. AI avatars can engage in interactive conversations, take actions (agent functionality), answer questions in real time, engage in role-playing, and deliver personalized content. The solution is scalable, multilingual, secure, and easily integrated into existing workflows.
“Our vision is to make corporate communications more human, scalable, and efficient,” said Gil Perry, CEO and co-founder of D-ID. “By combining our technology platforms and providing advanced AI solutions to simpleshow’s customers, we will establish a leading position in the interactive digital human market.”

“At the heart of this partnership are shared values: simplicity, innovation and a deep commitment to empowering corporate communications. D-ID and simpleshow are perfectly complementary. By combining our strengths in real-time avatar technology and scalable video production, we will combine intuitive storytelling with next-generation digital human interaction, opening up powerful new possibilities for our customers,” said Karsten Boehrs, CEO of simpleshow.
This acquisition positions D-ID as a global leader in the rapidly growing $50 billion digital human market. Leveraging its technical excellence, commitment to safety and ethics, strong customer base, and partnerships with industry leaders, the combined company will deliver a new foundation for user interfaces in the AI era. The companies expect the merger to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals.
