What it does
Video Agent is a mode inside HeyGen that builds a whole video from a short prompt or script, including an AI presenter, voiceover, motion graphics and B-roll. It shows a scene-by-scene plan before rendering, and every element stays editable afterwards in HeyGen's AI Studio. It is in the HeyGen web app and also available to developers through the API.
