AI and media

AI agents that use HeyGen

UtilitySpaces gives an AI agent scoped access to HeyGen through its own encrypted connection, not your password. The agent can call 4 named HeyGen tools, and the one that writes waits for a person's approval unless an admin has set the connection to run without asking. Every call is written to a hash-chained audit log with its arguments and its result.

What an agent can do in HeyGen

Generate avatar videos with HeyGen and track their rendering status. An agent calls these by name, and matching is exact.

Every tool a HeyGen connection exposes, and whether it writes, which waits for approval by default
ToolWhat it doesWaits for approval by default
List avatarsList avatars available to the account, with their avatar ids.No — read only
List voicesList voices available to the account, with their voice ids.No — read only
Create videoStart an avatar video render (billed run). Returns a video id — poll get_video_status for the finished file.Yes — it writes
Get video statusGet a video's rendering status and download URL.No — read only

3 read tools, 1 write tool. Generated from the connector catalogue the product runs on, so it cannot list a tool that does not exist.

What teams hand an agent in HeyGen

Video teams hand an agent the avatar pipeline in HeyGen: List avatars and List voices for the ids a render needs, Create video to start one, and Get video status for the download URL when it is done. Rendering is a billed write, so it waits for a person to approve it unless an admin has set this connection to run without asking.

  • Look up the avatar and voice ids a project should use instead of copying them from the dashboard.
  • Start an avatar video render from a script and post the download URL when it is ready (billed; after a person approves it)
  • Report which renders are still processing when the team asks where the videos are.
Before you let it write, or keep out: A render bills when it starts, and a wrong script renders confidently. Before approving Create video, or letting it run without asking, make sure the script and the avatar and voice ids are settled -- that is what the account pays for.

What waits for a person

Reads run on their own. These do not — each one waits in Approvals for an owner or admin unless an admin has set this connection to run writes without asking, and every call toHeyGen, approved, rejected or unattended, is logged.

What connecting HeyGen takes

HeyGen uses an API key you create in HeyGen and paste in once. A workspace admin sets the connection up; the fields are:

  • API Key

Credentials are encrypted and bound to your workspace, never read back, and every outbound call passes one guarded fetch — the connector security posture sets out exactly how, and the security page covers the platform around it.

Where HeyGen fits

Give an agent HeyGen work by writing a message in the inbox, or put its tools in a scheduled flow. What the run cost is on the cost breakdown.
