The backstory
Vyond builds animated business videos from characters, props and scenes — a genuinely deep authoring tool used heavily in corporate training. Generated video and avatar tools now produce comparable output from a script. Vyond survives on brand-consistent character libraries and enterprise compliance, which generated video handles poorly.
