HeyGen is an AI video generation platform that enables businesses to create professional-quality videos using lifelike AI avatars and voices without cameras, studios, or actors. Users simply type a script, choose from over 100 diverse AI avatars (or create a custom avatar from their own likeness), select from 300+ voices in 40+ languages, and generate polished videos in minutes. The platform supports video translation and localization, making it ideal for global marketing campaigns, personalized sales outreach, training content, and product demos. HeyGen is widely adopted by B2B marketers, sales teams, L&D professionals, and enterprises looking to scale video production affordably. Its key differentiator is the quality of its avatar lip-sync technology and the ability to create hyper-personalized videos at scale, dramatically reducing traditional video production costs and timelines.
