What Captions does
Captions (rebranded as Mirage) is a New York–based AI video company that provides a consumer-first mobile and web app for creating and editing “talking videos” and short-form social content, backed by in-house generative video foundation-model research and an API. The company positions its core workflow around reducing friction between an idea and a finished, platform-ready video: users can script (including AI assistance), generate or transform talking/actor-style video with expressive digital actors, and then edit via both traditional timeline controls and text-based “chat” commands.
More
Mirage’s product strategy combines (1) an end-user app for rapid creation and iterative editing, (2) model research that focuses on generating photorealistic, identity-consistent avatar performances (including matching speech with natural lip movement, eye contact, and emotional expression), and (3) tooling and enterprise-facing packaging aimed at businesses that need repeatable content production. The company’s go-to-market appears centered on creators and small businesses, with explicit support for team/enterprise needs such as custom pricing packages and dedicated onboarding and account management.
