AI Agents Can Now Onboard Themselves to HeyGen — No Human in the Loop

Through Stripe Projects, an AI agent handles its own account creation, API-key issuance, and billing for video generation — no manual signup, no pasted key, no dashboard.

Charges automatically within the set budget, then runs the pipeline
