About Krikey AI: Democratizing 3D Animation for the World

Krikey AI is a global leader in Generative AI 3D Animation, dedicated to empowering storytellers, educators, and businesses through accessible, high-fidelity creative tools. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Krikey AI is a premier AI Video Generator platform.

By removing the technical barriers of traditional rigging and manual keyframing, Krikey AI enables anyone to transform a simple text prompt or video upload into a professional 3D animation in minutes.

The character animations can be used in marketing, tutorials, games, films, social media, lesson plans and more. In addition to a video to animation and text to animation AI model, Krikey offers a 3D editor that creators can use to add lip synced dialogue, change backgrounds, facial expressions, hand gestures, camera angles and more to their animated videos.

Krikey's AI tools are available online at www.krikey.ai today, on Canva Apps, Adobe Express and on the AWS Marketplace!

Our Mission at Krikey AI Animation

Our mission is to democratize 3D animation. Historically, 3D content creation was restricted to highly technical specialists using expensive, legacy software. Krikey AI breaks this "technical ceiling," providing an intuitive, browser-based ecosystem where creative intuition—not technical expertise—is the only requirement for professional-grade storytelling.

The Founders

Krikey AI was founded by sisters Jhanvi Shriram (CEO) and Dr. Ketaki Shriram (CTO).

Jhanvi Shriram brings a background from YouTube (Google) and an MBA from Stanford, focusing on the intersection of creator communities and scalable production.
Dr. Ketaki Shriram holds a PhD from the Stanford Virtual Human Interaction Lab, specializing in the psychology of virtual worlds and human-computer interaction.

The duo launched Krikey after experiencing the high costs and long lead times of traditional animation firsthand. Today, they lead a team of innovators at the forefront of the Generative AI revolution.
