Yap style videos are hitting millions of
views on platforms like Instagram and
TikTok, but what if you didn't have to
film them yourself? In this video, we're
going to use Claude Code to generate yap
style videos for you using your AI
clone. It's going to research your
topic, write the script, and create your
AI avatar using HeyGen. And if we
haven't met yet, my name is Duncan
Rogoff. I'm a former art director for
brands like Apple, PlayStation, and
Nissan, and I now run one of the top
communities for learning Claude Code and
building income. If you want to follow
along, we're going to build everything
step by step, so focus in, close all
your open tabs, and let's build. If you
want to get access to the skill we build
today, just check the link in the
description. So, the first thing I'm
going to do is I'm just going to come
into the Claude desktop app and make
sure we're inside of Claude Code. Next,
all you need to do is create a brand new
folder for us to work in, so I'll just
put one on my desktop and I'll just call
this yap cuz it doesn't really matter,
and we'll open this up. I'm also going
to use the model Opus 4.8 for this
because it's a more complex task that
requires a little bit more power, but
you might be able to get away with
Sonnet, but let's stick with Opus. So,
the first thing we need to do is to
figure out like what actually makes a
good yap style video, and so we will
just have Claude do the research for us.
I need to figure out what makes a good
yap style short-form video for Instagram
Reels. I need to figure out what format
the script should take, what hooks are
popular, what kind of topics or content
resonate, and really what goes viral.
Please do some deep research for me. So,
today we're just going to be building
this skill from the ground up, and the
beauty of working with a system like
Claude Code is there's no use waiting
around while we could be doing some
other things. So, what we can do is we
can already start building out our AI
avatar while Claude does our research.
And so, in order to do this, we want to
come over to a site called HeyGen, and
while they are the sponsor of this
video, they are the industry standard
for AI avatars or digital clones. The
product is super easy to use, the
results are insane, and they connect
super easily with Claude Code. So, once
you create your account, all you you to
do is come into avatar. So, I already
have an avatar that I've been working
from, but if you want to start from
scratch, just come up to the top here
and click new avatar. You can create a
virtual character just by uploading an
image or designing with AI, or you can
clone a real person by recording your
webcam or uploading a video clip you
have. So, first thing I'm going to do is
I'm just going to take a selfie.
So, I just took this photo of myself and
it's good enough for today. But, if you
wanted to make it better, you could
really quickly come into something like
Google AI Studio. You could upload the
photo of yourself. Make sure you're
using Nano Banana 2, and you could say
something like, "Please make this look
like I'm a professional in a YouTube
studio." And then, I'm just going to go
ahead and change the aspect ratio to 9
by 16, which is vertical, which is
perfect for shorts, and the resolution,
let's set this up high to make sure we
have good quality images. So, this is
the image that we created. I think it's
just okay, honestly, but with a little
bit more work on the prompting, I think
you could get what you wanted. I'm going
to use the original image cuz I actually
kind of liked it. So, I'm going to come
back into my avatar here. Go ahead and
click in and I'm just going to upload a
look. HeyGen actually prefers a JPEG or
a PNG, so I'm just going to open this up
in preview. Come over here, file, go to export.
export.
Save this as a JPEG in my downloads
folder. The name doesn't really matter.
Click upload. Upload my photo now and we
have this already to go. I'm just going
to go ahead and click create look. And
to make sure that we are all ready to
go, what we want to do is you want to
connect the HeyGen MCP up to Cloud Code.
So, you can just come over to developers.heygen.com,
