Introduction

Hey HeyGen Community,

My name is Josh, co-founder and CEO of HeyGen, and I'm thrilled to share some exciting updates with you. Over the last nine months, since HeyGen's launch, we have achieved some remarkable milestones together. There are more than 2 million videos generated on the platform, and we've shipped 32 versions with over 100 features to the product.

Our diverse user community comprises professionals in marketing, sales, personalized messaging, learning and development, and more. We've been around for two years now, and the HeyGen family has expanded to an incredible team of 30 people working across the globe.

The HeyGen story began when my co-founder and I met at school. Following graduation, both of us spent almost 10 years in the video content creation industry. We have worked to bridge the gap and also participated in the transition from desktop to mobile content since 2012, which was largely driven by the evolution of mobile camera technology.

At HeyGen, we envision a future where traditional cameras are replaced by AI generation, transforming the landscape of visual storytelling. HeyGen started as a tool for creating spokesperson videos. With recent advances in AI, our vision is closer than ever, and we are taking a new leap today.

I'm excited to announce the rebranding of HeyGen to encompass not just the avatar but also the end-to-end video creation experience. HeyGen represents a simple, easy way to create content. I came to call it an assistant to co-create with us. Starting today, head over to heyen.com and find a fresh new place for all your creative needs.

We've got a super cool new feature that turns URLs into videos, and we are also working on even more ways to help you make awesome content, like turning prompts into video too. We've also set up a special corner for your avatars so you can personalize them just the way you like. Save your favorite look, create new ones with text description, and add some styles to your token photos.

And guess what? We've teamed up with GPT-4 to help you level up your script game. With just one click, you can optimize your script for lens, tone, and engagement, making it more polished and professional.

But that's not all. We've got big plans for HeyGen with lots of new generative features coming your way. As we did in the last nine months, we are committed to shipping another 30+ versions in the rest of the year.

We know we wouldn't be here without our amazing community. Thank you for your support, valuable feedback, and enthusiasm for our product. We will continue working hard to make HeyGen a better place to create videos, and we hope you enjoy the journey with us.
