Building AI Video Generation @HeyGen | previously at @brexHQ



Video just became native to AI agents. Today we’re launching HeyGen MCP. Now you can create HeyGen videos directly inside tools like Claude Web, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Cursor. Just connect your HeyGen account via OAuth and generate videos using your existing plan. We’ve put together a quick walkthrough showing how to set it up in Claude 👇

AI agents now have access to HeyGen tools through MCP. This means they're no longer assistants, they're operators. With HeyGen MCP, full videos can be created inside @claudeai, @GeminiApp, @ManusAI, and more. → Connect once. → Prompt once. → Get fully produced videos, without leaving the agent. Use HeyGen MCP inside your agent today.

HeyGen made Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies list for 2026. We built it for introverts. For people who hate cameras. For people who had something to say but no easy way to say it. 31 million people signed up so far. Turns out there were a lot of us.

HeyGen Video Agent is now on Runware!📹 automate video creation at scale: - turns only one prompt into a complete fully produced video - script, visuals, pacing, avatar, voice, rendering, all handled end to end - no timeline and no editing required available via our API



Video Agent from @HeyGen is live on Replicate! Turn a text prompt into a complete, polished video with AI-generated script, avatar presenter, voiceover, visuals, and editing. Plus, create realistic talking avatar videos with HeyGen's new Avatar IV engine. Video Translate has new "speed" and "precision" modes for more accurate translation lipsync.

We just ran our 10X Hackathon at HeyGen. → 106 participants → 43 teams → 40 submissions → 48 hours One mission: build something that changes the game by 10X. From engineers, marketers, designers, to sales teams, high talent density + AI fluency isn’t a slogan here. It’s how we operate. Congrats to all of the winners! We can’t wait for you to see some of the amazing submissions and winning projects come to HeyGen in the future.

Meet Dave. Dave is terrible at producing videos. Our new Video Agent fixes that. → See the full blueprint before anything renders. → Direct changes through conversation. → Edit every element after. Dave always had the message. Now he owns the production. Video Agent from HeyGen: for the Daves of the world.
