One Photo, 40 Words, One Tool

Ok this isn't perfect but it took me less than one minute to wrote this prompt:

Here's the revised version:

Subject: Using AI Clones for Content... Not Perfect, But Not Bad Either

Let me be real with you, AI clones still have that AI look, at least some of them but its getting scarily close. I'm experimenting anyway, because even at 80% perfect, the time savings are ridiculous.

Here's what I just tested:

I had an idea for a restaurant marketing video featuring SMS growth strategies. Normally, this means setting up cameras, lighting, recording multiple takes, shooting B-roll, editing for hours...

Instead, I wrote a 40-word prompt in under a minute and let an AI clone do the talking.

The results?

A complete 6-scene storyboard with:

A-roll scenes (my AI clone talking to camera)
B-roll footage (chef bringing steak, waitress serving drinks)
Professional Getty stock media
Voiceover script with precise timing
Text overlays strategically placed
Background music
Captions

Total time? Less than 2 minutes.

Is it flawless? No.

Does my clone sometimes have that slightly "AI" look? Yeah.

But is it good enough for testing concepts, client previews, and even some final deliverables?

Absolutely.

The Process I'm Testing:

Open the tool's Video Agent feature
Describe what you want (I'm learning to be more specific about visuals and messaging)
Let the AI generate the complete storyboard with my clone
Review and refine (this is where I'm spending time learning what works)
Export

My prompt was basic, just describing the scene: talking head about SMS marketing, B-roll of restaurant staff serving food, gratitude moments. Nothing fancy.

The AI handled scene sequencing, timing, visual variety, stock footage selection, script optimization, and the production blueprint.

The tool I'm experimenting with?

HeyGen's Video Agent. https://app.heygen.com/home

Still early in my testing, but if these results hold up, this could seriously change how we scale content production at DMG without needing to be on camera for every single video.

Anyone else experimenting with AI clones or video agents? What's your experience been hits, misses, or somewhere in between?

Drop your tool of choice here with the links so the entire community can benefit.

P.S. The orientation was off for the talking head but its passable.
