What HeyGen GPT was

HeyGen GPT was an early custom GPT that helped users move from a text prompt toward an AI avatar video. The standalone ChatGPT tool is no longer active. HeyGen itself remains an active AI video company, and its current Video Agent, AI Studio and developer products now provide the supported path for prompt-to-video creation.
