HeyGen is an AI avatar video platform where users type a script to get a video, ideal for marketers and trainers.

About

HeyGen

HeyGen is wild—create professional videos with AI avatars that look and sound real. No camera, no studio, just type your script and pick your virtual spokesperson. You can even clone voices and create videos in multiple languages with perfect lip-sync. It's the future of video production, especially for training, marketing, or any time you need to scale video creation.

But let's talk about the elephant in the room—these are still AI avatars. While impressive, they might not nail the subtle emotions or spontaneity of real humans. Plus, there's the whole ethical thing about deepfakes and digital doubles. Amazing tech, but it might feel a bit uncanny valley for some viewers. What's your take: is the efficiency worth potentially losing that human connection? For authentic human presence without the uncanny valley, consider using real footage enhanced with AI-selected background music and marketing-optimized editing.

Claap is an asynchronous video collaboration tool for remote teams, allowing users to screen record and comment on videos.

About

Claap

Claap reimagines team communication through video. Instead of writing long emails or sitting through meetings, you record your screen, share it, and teammates comment right on the timeline. It's async video collaboration that actually makes sense. The AI even summarizes meetings and transcribes everything, so nothing gets lost.

But here's what it's not—a creative video editor. This is about communication, not content creation. You won't be adding effects or crafting narratives. It's Slack for video, not Adobe for artists. Perfect for teams who want to communicate better, not for creators making the next viral hit. What's your goal: better team collaboration or beautiful video content? For creative teams, consider tools designed for startups or specific industries that need both collaboration and content creation.

I saw a colleague sharing a Heygen vid and honestly couldn't believe the results - had to try for myself with an extra critical eye. And...wow.

The platform and service keeps getting improved and has not disappointed us. The intuitive UI lends itself to making avatar videos and pictures a breeze.

False advertisement. I paid what I believed it was only 39 usd for the team plan and came to be 78 usd instead as they charge per user.

Wanted to convert an audio recording to text, the very service that CLAAP offers. I completed the forms with my private data, received an e-mail from them, which doesn't allow you to reply to them. After completing my data and logging in. There is no option to send an audio recording to them. At best it was incompetence.All disappointing
