What Is HeyGen?

HeyGen is an AI video generation platform that creates professional-quality videos from text prompts, images, and audio. No camera, no studio, no editing software required.

With HeyGen, you can:

  • Generate videos from text prompts -- describe what you want and HeyGen handles scripting, avatar selection, scene composition, and rendering
  • Animate photos into talking videos -- upload a single image and HeyGen creates a lip-synced video from any script
  • Choose from 150+ AI avatars -- professional presenters in various styles and outfits
  • Clone voices and translate videos -- dub content into 30+ languages with natural lip-sync
  • Upload custom assets -- images, video clips, audio, and PDFs as reference material

Ideal for product demos, explainer videos, onboarding content, social media clips, and personalized outreach.

Tell Your Agent to Create the Skill

Once you have your API key, tell your SuperClaws agent:

I need you to create a skill that uses the HeyGen API to create videos from prompts and images.

Here is the API documentation - study it carefully:
https://developers.heygen.com/llms.txt

The API key to store is: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

I should be able to upload an image or video right here in Telegram and you should be able to process the assets depending on the instructions I give you.

Push created assets to Telegram by default unless I instruct otherwise.

Your agent studies the HeyGen API docs, builds a skill with upload, generation, and polling scripts, saves your API key, and wires everything together. Video generation becomes just a conversation.

Create Videos from Natural Language

With the skill installed, you can create videos by describing what you want:

create a 30-second product demo video showing a presenter
explaining our new dashboard feature. use a professional
female presenter in business attire. dark theme.

Your agent crafts a script, selects the right avatar and voice, generates the video via HeyGen, polls until complete, and delivers the finished MP4 directly to you in Telegram.

Upload Images and Assets for Context

Need a video based on a specific image? Just upload it:

animate this person saying: Welcome to our channel.
Today we explore the future of AI assistants.

Your agent uploads the file to HeyGen, references it by asset ID, and generates the video with your content integrated.

Connect Apps for Richer Context

Through the SuperClaws dashboard, connect apps like GitHub, Slack, and Notion. Your agent can pull real context from these sources when creating videos:

look at my latest GitHub repo and create a 60-second
explainer video about what the project does.

The agent reads your actual project documentation, scripts the video, and sends you a finished product.

Tip: The Better Your Prompt, The Better the Video

This matters. HeyGen and your agent both respond better to descriptive, specific instructions. Vague prompts produce generic videos. Detailed prompts produce polished ones.

Include duration, tone, visual elements, script details, and avatar preferences. You can also chat with your agent before generating to refine the script and adjust the tone.
