"I have found the Colossyan team to be extremely responsive and helpful, and appreciate their engagement with customers through various channels."
Nearly 28% of the population are foreign-born, many with limited German language proficiency. We spoke with Ulrike Huemer from the City of Linz. She shared how she used Colossyan's AI technology to save over 50% of her €1.9M COVID communications budget.
Though conventional video content was an option, it posed several impediments
Traditional video production can incur considerable costs, which include hiring multilingual actors, renting studios, and procuring video equipment
Updating videos post-production would present a formidable challenge, necessitating additional time and resources.
Localizing video content for diverse languages is not only expensive but also time-consuming and challenging to scale. After assessing the startup landscape and synthetic media industry, Linz discerned that Colossyan was the right fit for their project.
Here's an overview of her process:
Collaborating with Digital Hunter and health advisors, she developed an initial script in German.
The script was inputted into Colossyan's interface, and a German video was produced for review, selecting an AI avatar from Colossyan's extensive collection.
Once stakeholders were satisfied with the German version, Ulrike partnered with Digital Hunter to produce multilingual versions, utilizing Colossyan's machine translation functionality which was reviewed by native speakers.
Finally, Digital Hunter incorporated additional interactive elements to allow viewers to access relevant information in their preferred language.
"The platform is user-friendly, housing all necessary video editing features for creating top-notch training videos without requiring extra tools."
"Videos can be updated seamlessly at any point in time, obviating the need to start from the beginning."
"In contrast to traditional video production, Colossyan's solution is budget-friendly, flexible, and scalable."
Colossyan had helped us navigate an emergency
It allows us to reach those who the content is most relevant to... and it sets our campaign apart from other municipalities in Austria.
Since the project's initiation, the AI vaccination consultants have been crucial in propelling Linz's digitization initiatives, allowing its citizens to be educated more efficiently and effectively.
