display_name	HeyGen Video Agent
description	Official HeyGen plugin for OpenClaw — adds HeyGen as a first-class provider for the built-in video_generate tool. Identity-first avatar videos: pick an avatar_id, a voice, a script, and get an on-brand presenter video back. Use when: (1) generating a video where a specific avatar/person speaks specific lines, (2) "make a video of me / our brand presenter", (3) outreach, announcements, pitch decks, product walkthroughs, or any presenter-led video, (4) needing landscape or portrait output with deterministic aspect ratios, (5) integrating HeyGen into an OpenClaw agent through the standard provider interface (no bespoke REST glue required). Covers: HeyGen v3 Video Agent (api.heygen.com), avatar-presenter video, identity-preserving video, talking-head AI video, scripted avatar narration, brand spokesperson video. NOT for: cinematic b-roll (use Veo / Runway / Kling), video translation, TTS-only, streaming avatars, or photo-to-talking-head v2 pipelines.

HeyGen Video Agent — OpenClaw Plugin

Adds HeyGen as a first-class provider for OpenClaw's built-in video_generate tool. Same interface every other video provider in OpenClaw uses (Google Veo, Runway, Kling, Wan, MiniMax, Dashscope) — now with identity-preserving avatar/presenter video.

Install

openclaw plugin install heygen

Set HEYGEN_API_KEY in your environment (get one at https://app.heygen.com/settings/api).

Quick start

const result = await video_generate({
  model: "heygen/video_agent_v3",
  prompt: "Hi team, here's the product update for this week.",
  providerOptions: {
    avatar_id: "<your-avatar-id>",
    voice_id: "<your-voice-id>",
    orientation: "landscape", // or "portrait"
  },
});
// result.url → downloadable .mp4

Avatar / voice ids: list from the HeyGen dashboard or the heygen-skills companion skill (which composes opinionated avatar/voice picking on top of this plugin).

When HeyGen vs other video providers

• Avatar-presenter / talking-head video → HeyGen.
• Cinematic / scene generation → Veo, Runway, Kling.
• Translation / dubbing → use HeyGen's translate APIs (separate skill).
• Real-time interactive avatar → HeyGen Streaming Avatar (separate surface, not this plugin).
