HeyGen wants to make the camera optional. Its digital twins, translation tools and video agents turn one human performance into a production system that can speak to almost anyone.
YouArt is a Y Combinator-backed (Spring 2026 / P26) platform that lets AI storytellers create original films and series with an AI video agent, raise money directly from early fans, and earn recurring revenue through subscriptions and private branded pages. Founders describe it as 'Patreon for AI Originals.' The company reported passing $120K in monthly revenue within five months of launch and roughly 145K monthly visitors, driven largely by organic demand from AI creators and studios.
