What it does

Record 15 seconds. Generate yourself in any outfit, setting, or look, forever. Avatar V separates your performance from your appearance, so one clip becomes unlimited video versions without ever re-recording. Your identity stays consistent across angles and long-form video, with natural upper-body movement that doesn't look AI-generated. No camera crew. No reshoots. No starting over every time something changes. Just you, in any look, at any scale. Rated #1 Most Realistic Avatars on G2.

Launch of Avatar V. Create a realistic AI digital twin from a 15 sec video with consistent identity, natural motion, and voice in 175+ languages.

Character consistency is what separates a useful avatar from a gimmick. Avatar V delivers it across every angle, every expression, and every video you create. Avatar V is HeyGen's most advanced AI avatar model. Earlier avatars started with a photo and animated a face. Then came video-based training, which captured more of how you move and sound. Avatar V takes this a step further: it separates your identity from your appearance, learning the precise way you move, gesture, and express yourself so that motion can be applied to any version of you. That means you record once, in whatever you're wearing, wherever you are. Then generate yourself in any setting, any outfit, any look you can…from heygen.com

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
