How Heygen scaled global translation with humans-in-the-loop

From urgent translation issues to a thriving expert network, Heygen’s story is proof that even the most advanced AI still needs real humans in the loop.

In this episode, Heygen’s team shares how they launched and scaled their expert translation network on Contra, fast. With customers demanding culturally accurate content across languages, they didn’t just hire translators they built an expert-powered ecosystem to ensure global reach without losing nuance.

Using Contra, they onboarded high-quality translators in days (not quarters), paid them seamlessly, and created an elite human-in-the-loop layer that elevated their AI-powered platform.
