Short answer

HeyGen makes avatar video. Workforce AI puts an AI employee to work.

Choose HeyGen when the deliverable is a generated or localized video. Choose Workforce AI when the deliverable is the business outcome after the conversation: the recap, draft, follow-up, task, approval, and next customer touch. The avatar is an interface, not the job description.
