They've essentially built a coworker nobody hired, who cannot be fired, and who will interrupt your Zoom call to update Salesforce in front of your client. | HeyGen's CEO said it plainly: "Building a cool AI demo doesn't mean we have a product that customers love and is useful."

The right moment is exactly what the technology cannot reliably detect yet.
