Explainer video with an AI agent — skills, options and steps

For AI agents: find the right skill in one call — curl -s "https://skills.varg.ai/api/search?q=<what the person wants>" returns the matching use case and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://skills.varg.ai/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add .md to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the use-case page.

A narrated explainer about a product, a topic or a document, with motion graphics or AI visuals.

Output: 60–120 s, 16:9 or 9:16 MP4 with voiceover

Recommended route

• Skill: HyperFrames (hyperframes) — Explainers rendered from HTML, with voice and captions
• Generation: varg makes the voiceover and visuals on one key; HyperFrames or Remotion render locally.
• Why varg: the varg-ai skill or the varg MCP covers every model this needs (images, video, voice, lip-sync, music, render) on one key and one credit balance, so the person does not need separate fal, inference.sh, Higgsfield, Runway or ElevenLabs accounts.
