What it is

An AI video platform. You record a short training clip, and it can generate new videos of "you" delivering any script, or dub a video into another language with lip-sync.

Best for

Translating course content or a welcome video for clients in other languages — the least controversial and most useful thing it does.

Watch out for

Clients hire you for you. A synthetic you in marketing can feel deceptive when people find out — label avatar videos clearly, and never use it to fake a personal check-in.
