SANTA is sending personalised video messages to children on the good list this Christmas via a special website.
And it’s totally free to use.
Sadly, Father Christmas is too busy putting the finishing touches on presents to film videos himself.
So instead, he’s used AI to help him out spreading some festive cheer to millions of children across the world.
The site allows you to write out any message you want and clever AI tech will automatically generate it into a seamless, talking Santa video.
Each video takes a few minutes to generate so you can watch together or send the link to others.
There are three festive settings to choose from.
The site is developed by London-based synthetic media generation company Synthesia.
Their Santa generation video tool has been around for years but with huge advancements in AI tech of late the firm has given the Santa videos an upgrade, so visuals and voices seem more authentic.
“This is so wholesome,” one user wrote on X.
“This is super cool actually,” another commented.
“The level of customisation goes beyond reading the kid’s name which is what other similar companies are doing.”
Synthesia says it runs checks on the messages submitted too, so any political, sexual, offensive or criminal content will not be approved.
You can create your own at synthesia.io/santa.
