  • What legal measure is required to prevent misuse of the AI Avatar?

    -To prevent misuse, especially in the context of deepfakes, users are required to provide legal consent authorizing haen to use their footage to build and use the AI Avatar within their haen account.

  • What are the pricing plans for the haen tool?

    -The pricing plans for the haen tool start with a free tier that includes one instant Avatar and one free credit for a 60-second video.
