AI talking avatar: a presenter from one photo, in ChatGPT and Claude

Creative Claw makes talking avatars inside ChatGPT, Claude or Codex: give it one portrait, or have it generate a fictional presenter, add the script, and it voices the lines with ElevenLabs, Cartesia or your cloned voice and animates the face with HeyGen Avatar 4 or MiniMax H3 Max Lip Sync. HeyGen Avatar 4 costs 20 credits a second, so our 9-second presenter cost about 187 credits ($1.87) with the voice. No avatar subscription, and 100 free credits to start.

How it works

  1. 1

    Choose the face

    Upload a portrait you have the rights to, or ask for a fictional presenter. A front-facing, evenly lit image works best.

  2. 2

    Write and voice the script

    About 25 words for 10 seconds. Pick a library voice, a designed voice or your cloned voice; ElevenLabs v4 is 20 credits per 1,000 characters.

  3. 3

    Animate the presenter

    HeyGen Avatar 4 turns the portrait and voice into a talking clip at 20 credits a second; MiniMax H3 Max Lip Sync is 16 credits a second at 720p.

  4. 4

    Caption and save

    Add word-timed captions, save the presenter as a Character for the next video, and download the MP4.

Try this prompt

Use Creative Claw to make a 10-second 16:9 talking presenter from my attached portrait. Voice this script with a warm ElevenLabs v4 voice: "[your 25-word script]". Animate it with HeyGen Avatar 4 and show me the credit estimate first.
