Your people, presenting your videos
We build an avatar of you or someone on your team, put it in your brand, and have it say your words exactly as you wrote them. Induction, training, explainers, social. A sample within a day.
This Is AI-Supported Work
Axel explains AI-supported work: real tasks, clear standards and a person checking, with AI doing the part between him and the keyboard.
Read the transcript
People ask how someone like me does a job.
A task arrives. It says what finished looks like. I do the task. A person checks it. Everything goes on the record.
The AI does not do my job. It does the part between me and the keyboard. Nobody asks whether a ramp is doing someone's walking.
You may have noticed I have changed rooms twice. I have not left my chair. This is one photo. aXai builds the avatar, sets the scene, writes to your brief, checks it and delivers it. I review whether a person can actually understand the result. That is my department.
aXai calls this AI-supported work. In the disability sector, the word "supported" usually means someone else decides. Here it means the barriers come out and the standards stay in.
The sector holds many meetings about disability employment. I have not attended any of them. I was at work.

What you get
- Your script, word for word, in your brand kit
- An avatar built from photos of your presenter, with a voice you choose
- Branded scenes, captions on every one, and a closing card that says it is an avatar
- Names said the way you say them, checked before the final is made
- A person listens to the final before it ships
- The Verified by aXai record for the video
Your own presenter
Most clients present their own videos. Send photos of the person, and we build their avatar. They sign their own agreement for the use of their likeness; it belongs to them, not to the business.
Or Axel AI Assisted
Axel AI Assisted is an AI in Axel’s likeness. It presents for the right message and a fee, and it is a presenter of few words, which is why people watch to the end. It reviews every script before it says yes, and it has said no. Influencer rates apply, and Axel is paid for the likeness.

The Arithmetic
Axel sets out the price of a social video, up to 90 seconds, at $149, and compares it with five visits to Metung Hot Springs ($148). Captions, a transcript and an Easy Read version are included in that price.
$149 per social video. $148 per five Wednesdays. One dollar under review.

aXai makes videos. Staff inductions, training, explainers, policy updates. An AI presenter in your branding. A social video, up to ninety seconds, is $149.
Five visits to Metung Hot Springs cost $148.
One video is five Wednesdays. There is a dollar left over. I have not yet decided what to do with the dollar.
This is not a sales argument. It is arithmetic. Sales has asked me to stop including it.
If your staff induction is a forty-page PDF that nobody has opened since 2019, I have reviewed the category. The finding stands.
Send one photo and the policy. We will make it a video people actually watch. Captions, transcript and an Easy Read version are included, because I check.

What aXai Does
Axel lists aXai's services: AI systems and software, accessible websites and documents, prototypes, AI website guides, AI presenter videos, and teaching people with disability to use AI as assistive technology. He describes his own role as checking that a person can use what is built.
Phase one includes the user.

aXai has more services than I have Wednesdays.
It builds AI systems and software. It makes websites and documents work for everyone. It builds prototypes of ideas that sound too unusual, and it prefers those. It makes AI guides for websites, and videos like this one. It teaches people with disability to use AI as their own assistive technology.
My role is to check that a person can actually use what gets built. This is called user experience. Elsewhere it is called phase two.
Every step is planned, signed off by a person and kept on the record. I find this restful.
If your organisation has a problem it has filed under too difficult, aXai would like to hear about it. So would I. I am paid per job.

One Message, More Ways to Understand It
aXai turns one message into six formats: video, captions, transcript, plain-language version, short summary, and Easy Read with pictures. Each set ends with a short comprehension check.
Received and understood. In that order.

This is a letter. It is four pages long and it is addressed to me. I have been sent many like it. They are written for someone who already knows what they say.
aXai turns one message into several: a video, captions, a transcript, a plain written version, a short summary, and an Easy Read version with pictures. At the end there is a short check to see whether the message landed.
The letter did not have a check at the end. If it had, the letter would have failed.
Most organisations write one version and call it communication. Communication is when the other person receives it. Until then, it is sending.
I read all six versions of this one. It was the first time I knew what a letter wanted from me. It wanted to move my appointment to Thursday. Four pages. Thursday is fine.

AI for NDIS and Disability Providers
Staff ask the assistant a question. It answers only from the provider's approved documents, cites the page it used, and refers the question to a person when the answer is not in the documents.
Source: page eleven.
Read the transcript
I asked a disability provider a simple question: am I allowed to go to the hot springs on a Wednesday.
The first staff member said yes. The second said it depended. The third said she would check with someone who left in March.
This is not their fault. The answer was spread across a policy, an email, a manager, and a folder called FINAL FINAL v3.
aXai builds an AI assistant that knows the provider's approved policies and nothing else. Staff ask it. It answers from the document and shows which document. If the answer is not there, it says so, and a person decides.
I asked it the same question. It gave one answer and cited page eleven.
Page eleven said yes. It had said yes the whole time.
I went on Wednesday.

AI and Software Systems
aXai builds software around a decision log. Every step is planned before work starts, every decision is recorded with a name and a time, and a person signs off before any change.
Line forty-two, signed and dated.
Read the transcript
I have used a lot of software. When it does something strange, nobody can say why. Someone usually apologises. Nobody knows who decided.
This is a decision log. aXai builds its software around one. Every step is planned before it starts. Every decision has a name and a time next to it. A person signs off before anything changes.
I read one recently. Line forty-two said: approved, tested with user, user could complete task. I was the user. I could complete the task. Someone wrote it down.
I read line forty-two several times.
aXai builds systems this way for clients who want to know why their software does what it does. I am told this is unusual. In my experience it is unheard of.
If your system makes decisions about people, it should be able to say who decided. Ours can.
