Learn how to create professional videos using HeyGen, explore its features, limitations, and compare it with alternatives like Synthesia, Pictory, and Lumen5. Includes API usage example in Python.

Generate AI explainer videos from documents or queries using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and HeyGen API.


πŸ” Overview

This project demonstrates how to:

  • Use RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) to extract meaningful information from documents
  • Generate video scripts using OpenAI GPT / Mistral
  • Convert scripts into professional videos using HeyGen’s API
  • Run everything through an interactive Streamlit or Gradio interface

πŸš€ Features

  • πŸ“„ Upload or point to documents
  • 🧠 RAG retrieves context using vector search
  • ✍️ LLM generates a human-like narration script
  • πŸ—£οΈ Script is turned into a talking-head avatar video using HeyGen
  • 🎬 Instant video link or download

πŸ—οΈ Architecture

  1. Document Indexing (FAISS / Chroma / Qdrant)
  2. RAG Chain (LangChain or custom logic)
  3. Script Generation via OpenAI or Mistral
  4. HeyGen API for video rendering
  5. Frontend: Streamlit or Gradio

πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» Setup

git clone https://github.com/supermldev/heygenai.git
cd heygenai
pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a .env file:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-key

HEYGEN_API_KEY=your-heygen-key

▢️ Run the App

streamlit run app.py
