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

Superhuman: Fast email client for Gmail and Outlook with AI triage, summaries and drafts.

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 client gets access to the whole mailbox: for work email, clear it with your IT and security teams
A draft "in your style" copies your habits too, including sharp ones: reread it
Triage hides some emails in other sections: review them during the first weeks so you do not miss an invoice
