Knowlify

Based in San Francisco, California, Knowlify is a business-to-business enterprise software company that develops a generative artificial intelligence platform specifically designed for creating animated explainer videos. The system enables corporate users to upload standard text documents or presentation prompt decks to automatically generate corporate-ready video content, effectively bypassing the need for specialized graphic designers, animators, or video editors. Organizations deploy the technology to rapidly produce employee training materials, product demonstrations, customer literacy resources, onboarding modules, and internal corporate communications at a lower operational cost. Available through both a self-serve software-as-a-service portal and a fully managed service model, the early-stage startup currently operates with a dedicated workforce of six employees. Backed by lead investor Y Combinator as a participant in the Silicon Valley accelerator's Summer 2025 batch, Knowlify was founded by software entrepreneur Ritvik Varada.
