Generate AI avatar videos from a script list in Google Sheets

Turns scripts listed in a spreadsheet into AI avatar videos and saves the finished video links back automatically.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats polls until video finishes rendering; runs once per each script row in the sheet.

The problem it solves

You need to produce avatar videos for training, marketing, or announcements, but manually uploading each script and downloading the finished video is repetitive. Doing this one video at a time doesn't scale if you have a batch of scripts to turn into video. You want a simple way to feed in text and get finished videos back without repeating the same steps each time.

Who it fits

Marketing or training teams producing multiple AI avatar videos from a list of scripts.

How it works

  1. You list scripts or voice text in a Google Sheet
  2. The system sends each script to HeyGen to generate an AI avatar video
  3. It checks HeyGen for the finished video link
  4. The video link is written back into the Google Sheet next to its script
What you get

Avatar videos ready without filming a thing

You get finished AI avatar videos automatically produced from each script on your list, ready to share right away.

What you get

A Google Sheet where each script row has a link to its finished AI avatar video.

What you need

A Google account with Sheets access and a HeyGen account with API access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
