Arcads

AI video ad platform that turns a script into a UGC-style ad using a library of 300+ realistic AI actors.

Arcads was founded in 2024 by Dylan Fournier and Romain Torres and is based in Paris, France. The company raised a $16 million seed round led by Eurazeo in late 2025 and says it has reached profitability with roughly 6,000 customers, most of them performance marketers and D2C brands. The product lets a user write an ad script, pick from a library of more than 300 AI actors, and get back a finished, lip-synced UGC-style video in a couple of minutes, with support for over 30 languages and re-synced mouth movements for localization. It's built specifically for the paid-social ad format — actor speaking to camera — rather than general video editing or product demos. Arcads has grown quickly inside the direct-response advertising world, where testing dozens of ad variants against different hooks and actors is standard practice, and where the alternative — booking real UGC creators at $80-200 per video — doesn't scale the same way.
