Perplexity

Create video avatars in Claude Desktop

Turn text or audio files into talking videos without leaving your chat. Use `create_talk` or `create_talk_audio` to animate characters for your projects. You can also pull from a list of stock presenters using `list_presenters` if you need a quick character without uploading your own assets.

Manage your D-ID assets

Keep track of your generated content by calling `list_talks` to see what you have already produced. If a video is outdated, just run `delete_talk` to clean up your workspace. Everything happens inside the interface. You don't need to switch tabs to check the status of a long-running job since `get_talk` keeps you updated.

Track your D-ID credits

Monitor your usage in real-time so you never hit a wall during a production sprint. The `get_credits` tool returns your current balance and plan details instantly. This keeps your workflow predictable. You know exactly how many minutes you have left before needing to top up your account.
