Synthemo · Oakland, California

AI tools that show their work.

Synthemo makes two products. Fluxion puts the best image and video models in one place, with the price on every button. Northline builds personas that hold a real character and tell you plainly what they are. We also build custom digital twins: a real-time voice and video version of you, made from your own interviews and words.

A lighthouse keeper’s kitchen at dawn, steam rising from an enamel kettle on a cast-iron stove, pale blue light through a small salt-crusted window on the right, warm amber glow from the stove door, worn wooden table with a tin mug and an oil lamp, whitewashed stone walls, deep shadows, quiet and still. 35mm film photograph, low-key lighting, shallow depth of field, fine grain, muted teal and amber palette. No people. Calm, dark upper-left corner.Generate

Products

One makes. One talks.

Fluxion makes images and video. Northline makes personas you can talk to. Both start simple and tell you what's under the hood.

Talk

Northline for personas

Real-time voice and video personas with a character that holds: a voice, a temperament, a way of handling pressure, things it won't do. Ask one what it is and it tells you, in its own voice.

Fluxion for images and video

Type a prompt and pick the model you'd pick yourself. Turn a premise into a cast, a storyboard and clips with Story, then cut clips together in Edit: trims, crossfades, fades and AI music from ElevenLabs. When you want control, switch to Node mode and wire the whole pipeline on a canvas.

Twins

Commission a twin.

A digital twin that talks like you, knows your work, and holds a real conversation as you, so your ideas can reach people when you can't.

Every twin has the same voice, face and safety rules. What changes is depth: how much of you it knows.

How we build

Three rules, in both products.

Show the work

You can see what made the result and what it cost. Nothing happens off stage.

Fluxion: model, settings and credits on every imageNorthline: who a persona is and what it won't do

Honest about the machine

We name the models we run and who makes them. A persona never pretends to be a person.

Fluxion: Seedream by ByteDance, Veo by Google…Northline: ask what it is, and it tells you

Simple first

One prompt or one conversation to start. Depth is there when you want it, never in the way.

Spec films, not client work.

Made with the same models: brand spec films and early persona studies. The brands didn't commission any of it.
