A free app built around a tiny human favor has become a global accessibility network - and a practical blueprint for building AI with the people it is meant to serve.
Flawless is an AI filmmaking company building assistive tools that let studios re-edit dialogue and localize films into other languages while preserving the original actor's performance. Its products TrueSync and DeepEditor use computer vision and deep learning to reshape an actor's lip movements and expressions to match new lines or dubbed dialogue, removing the disconnect of traditional dubbing and subtitles. Co-founded by filmmaker Scott Mann and tech entrepreneur Nick Lynes, Flawless positions itself as a rights-first, consent-driven alternative to generative AI in cinema, endorsed by SAG-AFTRA and used across hundreds of studio productions.
Amit Kapur is co-CEO of Flawless, the London-based AI filmmaking company building 'assistive AI' tools for visual dubbing, performance editing and film localization. A Stanford-trained mechanical engineer who grew up in South Dakota, Kapur rose to COO of MySpace at its 125-million-user peak, co-founded the AI personalization startup Gravity (acquired by AOL in 2014), ran AOL's publisher platform, and later worked as an executive in residence at Redpoint Ventures. He advised and sat on Flawless's board for two years before stepping into the co-CEO seat alongside filmmaker Scott Mann, drawn by what he calls the company's ethical-AI approach to amplifying filmmakers rather than replacing them.
