You know that moment when you’re halfway through a YouTube video, and you’re like…
“Wait. Is this person even real?”
Welcome to the uncanny valley, folks. And I just moved in.
So here’s what happened:
I needed a promo video for the website. Problem?
- I have no ring light
- My voice sounds like Siri on 1% battery
- I blink too much on camera
Enter HeyGen — the AI video tool that lets you generate a ridiculously realistic-looking person who talks like a polished influencer and blinks like a normal human.
My Totally Made-Up Influencer, Powered by Science
I opened HeyGen, picked a photogenic avatar, typed in a script from seaml.es podcast feature about a college project on Innovations in Semiconductors, and BAM – the influencer was ready to pitch like she’d been working with NVIDIA and AMD silicon since birth.
Behind the Script: Powered by Seamless
Let’s be real—HeyGen can make you look like a media pro, but you still need smart things to say. That’s where I called in Seamless, aka the ChatGPT of science students.
1. Literature Reviews
I typed in: “Innovations in Semiconductors” in seaml.es, best ai to find sources. The app gave me a structured, citation-filled summary in seconds. Its a perfect AI source finder.
2. Real Scientific Sources
Forget sketchy Google results – Seamless (an ai citations finder) links you to papers from arXiv, PubMed, and Semantic Scholar. Even Ava (my digital influencer) sounded smarter quoting those.
3. Podcast Generation
I clicked one button and got a 10-minute science podcast about my topic. I picked the best lines. I had to repeat with another avatar as it looks unbelievably realistic.
If you use HeyGen for the delivery, and Seamless for the brains, you’re basically unstoppable.
