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.

Munch is an AI viral clip finder that generates trend-aware AI clips—perfect for social media managers.

About

Munch

Munch wants to find the viral moments hiding in your long videos. Upload your content, let the AI analyze it, and boom—you get a collection of short clips it thinks will blow up on social. It even tells you why it picked each clip, which is pretty cool for learning what works. If you're drowning in content and need to feed the social media beast, Munch is your lifeguard.

The thing is, viral according to AI might not mean viral for YOUR audience. The algorithm doesn't know your brand voice or your community's inside jokes. You'll probably spend time sorting through its picks to find the real gems. It's more like having an eager assistant than a seasoned social media manager. So what works better for you: AI efficiency or human intuition about what your audience actually wants? For more control over viral content creation, check out tools that combine YouTube Shorts creation with customizable AI hook generation tailored to your audience.

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.

The potential of Munch and the ease of use is why I upgraded. This is a powerhouse app.

Accidentally signed up for the annual subscription when I meant to sign up for the monthly subscription. I reached out to customer support about this issue and they resolved it very quickly. I'm very satisfied with the support I received for this issue and I'm excited to continue using Munch for our marketing purposes.

I was recommended to try this by Tony Robbins business mastery. Even though my friend said he had issues with site I still gave it a shot, I did the free version, and of course I needed the upgraded version once I uploaded video, I added some crappy B roll that AI suggested (not useful) and then from that point on website froze on my. I thought it was my connection but nope it was just that site. I probably went back another 2 or 3 times and it would again completely freeze on me. As a busy business owner I don't have time for this. I requested my money back and they refused. The lady Diana accused me of asking for my videos back. Could care less about anything I uploaded. I just think I puked$45 out the window.
