📦 Out of The Box Series: HeyGen My Avatar in 60

🔥

Dec '25 (edited) • Daily Dose ✨

Welcome to the Out of The Box Series — where I test how far curiosity and AI can take you in 30, 60, or 90 minutes, using today’s best no-code and low-code tools.

No setup. No training. Just pure exploration — right out of the box.

🎬 This Episode: HeyGen

🕒 Time Limit: 60 Minutes

📂 Category: AI Avatar Video Creation

What is HeyGen?

HeyGen is an AI video generation platform that turns a photo or default avatar, and a text script into lifelike talking videos.

💡 What I Built in 60 Minutes:

Using a series of three close-up photos, a few short scripts, and HeyGen’s My Avatar, Voice Mirror, and Create Video features, I created my avatar. Once the photos (shown below) were uploaded, I generated a full talking video simply by entering a script.

This is what out of the box really looks like. Just a few photos, a few prompts, and 60 minutes. While the rendering of my teeth are a bit off, overall it is rapidly improving.
