Asset management outcomes

Your AI handles the heavy lifting of file organization and video tracking.

UPLOAD

New media ready

The AI sends your images or audio files to HeyGen. Your assets are immediately available for video generation.

LIST

Video inventory

Your agent pulls a list of all videos you've generated. You get a clear view of your recent production work.

DELETE

Cleaned up library

The AI removes specific video records from your account. This keeps your HeyGen workspace organized and clutter-free.

HUMAN

Creative control

You still decide which files to upload and which videos to keep. The AI only acts on your direct instructions.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI translates your chat commands into direct actions within your HeyGen account.

  1. Add media

    When you provide an image or audio file in chat, the AI pushes it to your HeyGen library.

  3. Remove files

    If a video is no longer needed, tell your agent to delete it to clear space.
