Leadde Launches AI Video Conversion Tool: A New Alternative for Sales Enablement

AI video platform Leadde has launched updated features targeting the sales enablement and corporate training markets. The technology converts existing PowerPoints, PDFs, and documents into AI-presenter-led videos in minutes, completely bypassing the need for filming, recording, or traditional production.

Solving the “Content Consumption” Gap

Sales teams frequently accumulate massive libraries of product decks and technical specs. However, these assets often go unread. While internal data shows that engagement drops sharply after 12 slides, most product presentations require 20 to 40 slides to cover technical requirements.

Video fundamentally changes this dynamic. Prospects who won’t read a 10-page PDF will often watch a three-minute video explanation. Until now, the barrier has been production cost. Leadde eliminates this by allowing teams to upload a deck, select an avatar, and generate a narrated video instantly.

Key Feature: The “Expressive IV Engine”

Unlike standard text-to-speech tools, Leadde uses what it calls an “Expressive IV Engine.” This technology is designed to replicate human pacing and emotional emphasis.

Recent updates include:

• Layered Import: Preserves design hierarchy and visual structure from PowerPoint.
• Automated Visual Selection: Automatically matches content with layouts and transitions.
• Multilingual Support: Covers 88 languages and 178 dialects for global scaling.

Strategic Use Cases for Sales Teams

The platform addresses several high-friction areas in the modern sales cycle:

• Product Training at Scale: Technical specs become video modules, speeding up new hire onboarding.
• Multilingual Localisation: One source file can generate dozens of localized versions without re-recording scripts.
• Proposal Personalisation: Teams can use voice cloning to add a personal touch to standard templates.
• Asynchronous Education: Sellers can send video explainers that prospects watch on their own schedule, reducing the need for “discovery” calls.

A Battle of Workflows

The AI video market is heating up following Synthesia’s recent $200 million funding round. While both platforms use AI avatars, their strategic directions are diverging:

In short: Leadde is built for the organization with a mountain of existing content to modernise. Synthesia is built for the organisation looking to create new, interactive learning experiences from scratch.

Adoption Barriers and Risks

Despite the efficiency gains, sales leaders must consider several practical limitations:

• Content Quality: A bad PowerPoint makes a bad video. AI cannot fix poor messaging or cluttered slides.
• The Authenticity Gap: For high-ticket enterprise deals, some prospects may find AI avatars impersonal compared to a real human connection.

Voice cloning raises ethical and legal questions. Organisations must decide who owns a “cloned” voice and how to disclose AI usage to prospects.

To be effective, these videos must be trackable. Integration with CRM and Sales Engagement Platforms (SEPs) is essential to measure if prospects are actually watching.

Leadde’s document-centric approach offers a genuine “shortcut” for sales enablement. While it may not replace the human element in high-stakes negotiations, it significantly lowers the cost of keeping content fresh, global, and engaging.
