No usage claims. Nobody has run this tool. The other tier is BENCH-TESTED, which means Andrew personally ran the tool on a stated date and cannot be bought at any price. Across the whole directory that count is 0. Vendor: [heygen.com](https://heygen.com) · entry id 08-heygen · source 08-video-prospecting.md line 147 **What it does** AI avatar/video-generation platform with a documented sales-prospecting motion - batch-personalize one template into many prospect-specific versions (dynamic name/company/pain-point variables), with native HubSpot automation that generates and attaches a personalized video to a contact on lifecycle triggers (new lead, meeting booked, deal-stage change). **AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it** Vendor states 200+ AI avatars, voice/spokesperson cloning, batch personalization at scale, 175+ language localization with lip-sync, and engagement analytics. Vendor blog cites a case study that Reply.io built an outbound motion on HeyGen and an agency generated 50,000+ personalized videos for AB InBev claiming up to 3x engagement - vendor-published/vendor-cited, not independently verified here. **RevOps role** Outbound/sequence-personalization layer plugging natively into HubSpot and, via Zapier/Make/n8n, into other CRMs. **MCP server** - **Status bucket**: Official MCP - **Auth**: OAuth - vendor states "connect your HeyGen account, no API key required"; generation draws down the premium credits already in the user's HeyGen plan rather than separate API billing. - **Parsed URLs**: 3 found in the mcp_url field The vendor ships and maintains the server itself. A wrapper built by Zapier, Composio or a similar third party does not count as official. The status was established on 2026-08-24 and has not been re-fetched since. mcp_status, verbatim from the file: official mcp_url, verbatim from the file: https://mcp.heygen.com/mcp/v1/ (docs: https://developers.heygen.com/mcp/overview; product page: https://www.heygen.com/model-context-protocol) - [https://mcp.heygen.com/mcp/v1/](https://mcp.heygen.com/mcp/v1/) - [https://developers.heygen.com/mcp/overview](https://developers.heygen.com/mcp/overview) - [https://www.heygen.com/model-context-protocol](https://www.heygen.com/model-context-protocol) **Access gate** - **Gate bucket**: Paid, self-serve - **Can a solo operator reach it**: Yes, by paying, no sales call api_gate, verbatim from the file: paid, pay-as-you-go. Public REST API billed from a prepaid USD wallet per feature (e.g., roughly $0.05/sec for photo-avatar video, ~$0.000667/sec TTS, $1.00 per avatar-creation call); no free API tier found for developers, though a solo operator can start with a small prepaid balance. **API documentation** No documentation URL recorded. 263 of 293 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank. **GitHub health** Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build. The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale. **Jobs it can do** - [Create and send a prospecting video](../jobs/create-and-send-prospecting-video.md) - [Read outreach performance](../jobs/read-outreach-performance.md) A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records. Tagged by machine-pass on 2026-08-25 against the closed 55 job vocabulary. 271 of 293 entries carry at least one tag; 827 tags are assigned in total. **Sources** - [https://www.heygen.com/business/sales](https://www.heygen.com/business/sales) - [https://www.heygen.com/integrations/hubspot](https://www.heygen.com/integrations/hubspot) - [https://www.heygen.com/blog/best-ai-video-tools-sales-prospecting](https://www.heygen.com/blog/best-ai-video-tools-sales-prospecting) - [https://developers.heygen.com/mcp/overview](https://developers.heygen.com/mcp/overview) - [https://developers.heygen.com/docs/pricing](https://developers.heygen.com/docs/pricing) - [https://www.heygen.com/model-context-protocol](https://www.heygen.com/model-context-protocol) 6 source URLs.

Synthesia, researched alongside it, did not clear this bar - see Sweep notes. **Provenance** - **Entry id**: 08-heygen - **Source file**: 08-video-prospecting.md - **Source line**: 147 - **Tier**: RESEARCHED - **last_checked**: 2026-08-24 - **Data baked**: 2026-08-25 Every field above is rendered from directory.json exactly as the build produced it.
