HeyGen Adds Text-to-Avatar Generation to Its API for Fully Synthetic Presenters

HeyGen has added a Prompt-to-Avatar capability to its API, letting developers spin up entirely synthetic on-screen presenters from a text description alone, without any source photo or video of a real person. The AI video company detailed the feature in its developer documentation, positioning it as a way to describe a presenter once and then re-prompt the same identity into any outfit, setting or style.
