Willingness Vs. convincing

1. "He'll help us organize the party"

2. "He'll be helping us to organize the party"

Hi, does the second sentence actually strongly indicates that the person didn't really want to come and help organize the party, but you tried to convince him and succeeded compared to the first one?

Or can they be used interchangeably?

Thank you

This sounds to me like the speaker is confident that 'he' will help if asked, or that the speaker knows 'he' will help because 'he' has already agreed or promised to help.
