James Okafor

James Okafor spent 5 years as a video producer for mid-size brands before the AI video revolution made him obsessed with what these tools could actually do. He joined AI Stack Picks to cover the category he knows best: AI video generation, voice synthesis, and presentation tools.

James has tested every major AI video platform — Synthesia, HeyGen, D-ID, Pictory, Runway — on real corporate training scripts and marketing campaigns. He covers voice tools (ElevenLabs, Murf AI) with the ear of someone who has spent years in production audio, and presentation tools (Gamma, Beautiful.ai) from a background in pitch deck design.

His rule: "I only recommend tools I've used to produce something I'm proud of."
