“For training videos, product demos, and localized content, HeyGen is incredible. Clone yourself and scale to 40 languages without re-recording.”
“The avatars still feel uncanny for consumer-facing content. Fine for internal training and quick explainers. Not ready for brand advertising or YouTube content.”
“HeyGen is solving the 'I need a video but don't have a camera/studio/time' problem. The quality will only improve. Early adopters are building video content machines.”
