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](https://www.heygen.com) 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 ```bash openclaw plugin install heygen ``` Set `HEYGEN_API_KEY` in your environment (get one at <https://app.heygen.com/settings/api>). ## Quick start ```ts 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`](https://clawhub.ai/eve-builds/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). ## Provider options | Field | Type | Notes | |-------|------|-------| | `avatar_id` | string | HeyGen avatar id; falls back to `models.providers.heygen.defaultAvatarId`. | | `voice_id` | string | HeyGen voice id; falls back to `models.providers.heygen.defaultVoiceId`. | | `style_id` | string | Optional style template. | | `orientation` | `"landscape" \| "portrait"` | Maps from aspect ratio. `1:1` rejected. | | `mode` | `"generate" \| "chat"` | Default `generate`. `chat` keeps full poll budget for interactive flows. | | `callback_url` | string | Async webhook completion. | | `callback_id` | string | Caller-supplied correlation id for the webhook. | | `incognito_mode` | boolean | Skip retention on HeyGen side where supported. | ## Errors surfaced cleanly - `401` → `HeyGen API key missing or invalid` - `402` / quota → `HeyGen credit limit reached` - Generate-mode + 8 consecutive `thinking` polls → fast-fail with a hint pointing at `avatar_id` / `voice_id`. - `failed` status surfaces HeyGen's `failure_message` rather than a generic error. ## Polling Three-tier backoff: 5s × 6 → 15s × 12 → 30s until `MAX_POLL_ATTEMPTS`. Long renders (20–45 min) stay under typical HeyGen per-key rate limits. ## Source + tests - Repo: <https://github.com/heygen-com/openclaw-plugin-heygen> - 19 unit tests, live smoke verified end-to-end against `api.heygen.com`. - Extracted from [openclaw/openclaw#69578](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/pull/69578) (closed in favor of external/ClawHub publication per [VISION.md](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/VISION.md)). ## License MIT.
