HeyGen: Videos with a digital presenter from a script, and translation of finished videos in your own voice.

Kickresume: Resumes and cover letters from templates and AI, in many languages.

An avatar of a real person is created only with their recorded consent; after an employee leaves, videos with their avatar can no longer be used
Label a digital presenter in client videos as generated: hiding it creates a risk of claims and falls under disclosure rules
Check stress and pronunciation on a short fragment before rendering the full video

The generator adds achievements the candidate never had: check every claim against the interview
Remove the candidate's contacts from a resume for a client if the agency works on a presentation model
The subscription auto-renews for the full term: turn off renewal if you need it once
