Building software for an industry that gained most from Covid, Animaker rode the digitisation wave. Steve.ai is less than six months old, and it’s already winning over clients, he adds. 'Ten years ago, it took five to six weeks to create a video Once we launched Animaker, we brought it down to four to five hours now, with our new text-to-video AI tool Steve.ai, it takes five minutes,' Raghavan says. Along with his friend Loganathan K, Raghavan launched Animaker in 2014 that today has a vast product portfolio including a Do It Yourself (DIY) animation video maker, graphic design product, text to human-like voice over generators. The techie, who often got more praise for the engaging visuals he used in his presentations, dabbled in many things before he realised that he could make money while pursuing his passion.

The entrepreneur says not too long ago he wasn’t as confident as he is now. 'This could be the next big thing after audio books,' says Raghavan. Soon, Steve.ai (named as an ode to the entrepreneur’s admiration for Steve Jobs) will be capable of creating an entire movie from the text of a book in around an hour.

'We have a couple of patents, it involves a lot of heavy lifting as a research team as all biggies like Google and others are working in this area,' says Raghavan R S, co-founder and CEO, Animaker. Creative SaaS startup Animaker’s recently launched Steve.ai – a patented AI platform that helps create live action videos and animation videos from templated scripts in less than five minutes – promises accuracy of more than 90%.
