HeyGen Launches AI Video Podcast Generator From Text

HeyGen released a feature that turns text, documents, or links into polished two-host video podcasts with studio scenes, multi-camera cuts, and B-roll, producing ready-to-publish content. Investor Sarah Guo highlighted the announcement while others including Bojan Tunguz and Alex Cohen questioned the appeal of watching any AI-generated podcasts. Matthew Berman noted robotic-sounding voices in demos. Nathan Baschez and Shreyas Doshi countered that some AI podcasts already surpass human episodes in depth and usefulness, framing the launch amid broader debate on consumption modes and AI content value.
