## Why I Cover Synthesia

I first tested Synthesia in 2022 when the avatars still felt noticeably artificial. The progress since then has been remarkable — Synthesia 3.0 avatars are significantly more natural, and the uncanny valley is shrinking.

My coverage focuses on **honest assessments**: when AI video makes sense, when it doesn't, and how to get the best results. I've produced Synthesia videos for **client projects** and can speak to both the capabilities and limitations.

What sets my Synthesia content apart is the **business perspective**. I evaluate ROI, use cases, and implementation strategies — not just features.
