Overview
What you provide
- Provide an approved script or supported source material, then choose the presenter, language and scene assets.
What you get
- Elai produces editable presenter-led scenes and video exports within the chosen plan and minute allowance.
Choosing this tool
Elai fits scripted explainers and training modules where a presenter must deliver a stable script without filming each revision. Creator serves a single editor; Team adds collaborative seats and a larger minute pool. Confirm SCORM or learning-platform requirements before purchase, because the visible table places SCORM export in Enterprise. Steve AI is more relevant for animated explainers; Colossyan deserves comparison when the learning workflow drives the choice.
A decision worked through
A fifteen-minute monthly training pack uses the Creator allowance in full. Thirty minutes cannot be priced as two Creator subscriptions unless the vendor confirms pooling; Team instead lists fifty minutes at USD 125/month. Adding the separately priced annual voice clone to Creator adds USD 200/year before other charges.

Setup & workflow
- Break the approved lesson into short scenes with one teaching objective each.
- Generate a sample scene and correct names, pauses and on-screen material.
- Render the final lesson after checking minute allowance and the required export format.
Requirements & installation
- Estimate rendered lesson minutes and list the editors, guests and LMS export formats that the project needs.
Limits & review
- A stock-avatar subscription is distinct from a personal avatar or voice clone. Annual inclusions should not be assumed for monthly Team billing, and the displayed enterprise unlimited wording does not define an unrestricted self-serve plan.
Your part
- Listen to pronunciation and check factual statements, avatar consent and accessibility before distributing the lesson.
