What they are

HeyGen

HeyGen generates studio-quality videos using AI avatars and text-to-speech voices, so creators and marketers can produce talking-head content without filming themselves. It supports over 175 languages and lets you clone your own voice and likeness. Teams use it for product explainers, onboarding videos, and localized content at scale. The avatar quality is impressive for scripted material, but unscripted or conversational styles still feel noticeably synthetic.

Krisp

Krisp runs as a virtual audio device on your desktop, stripping background noise from both sides of a call in real time and processing audio locally so your voice never hits the cloud. It has since expanded into a full meeting assistant: bot-free transcription, AI summaries, action items, and real-time accent conversion for Indian, Filipino, and Latin American English speakers. Podcasters, remote workers, and call center teams use it. The AI summaries are functional but less polished than those from note-taking-focused rivals.
