What is this about?
Under AI Platforms and Integrations you connect external AI services for media generation to your workspace. To do this, you enter the API key of your own account with the provider. Which services you can set up is enabled centrally by ALLMEDIA.AI; the page shows the current status. This article describes connecting HeyGen and Gemini Veo:
- HeyGen: AI avatar videos with speech and lip sync, as well as Talking Photos. Without your own HeyGen access, no HeyGen videos can be created.
- Gemini Veo: AI videos from text descriptions. If you add your own Gemini API key, ALLMEDIA.AI uses your key for Veo videos. Without your own key, Veo runs via ALLMEDIA’s standard integration.
You don’t need to set up anything here for texts, images and research. These features always run via ALLMEDIA.AI’s standard integration. You choose the text model per channel in the channel canvas.
Step by step
- Open the page. Go to Settings → AI Platforms and Integrations.
- Choose a provider. On the provider's card, for example HeyGen or Gemini Veo, click Set up. If access is already stored, the button is called Edit. If the card shows Coming soon, the service has not been enabled yet.
- Get the key. Below the API Key field you find a notice with a link (Open) to the place at the provider where you create the key.
- Enter the access. Optionally enter a Label and paste the key into the API Key field.
- Test and save. Click Test API Key. If the test is successful, ALLMEDIA.AI saves the access automatically and the card shows the status Connected.
How to use the access
- HeyGen: Under Workflows → Media Pipelines, create a pipeline with a HeyGen video engine, choose avatar or Talking Photo, voice and aspect ratio, and link it to a channel.
- Gemini Veo: You use Veo for AI videos in the Gallery, in the post or in media pipelines.
Once access is stored, the dialog contains an expandable guide with the next steps and tips for the respective service.
Limits
- Credits still apply. Even with your own key, ALLMEDIA.AI deducts credits for every HeyGen and Veo generation. The provider additionally bills its costs via your own account.
- Veo needs a paid Google account. According to the notice in the app, Veo 3 only works with a Google Cloud project with billing enabled. Free API keys are not sufficient.
- Availability: Which services (e.g. HeyGen, Gemini Veo, Synthesia, Runway, Canva) can be set up is determined centrally by ALLMEDIA.AI. Services that are not enabled appear on the page with Coming soon or Available soon and cannot be set up.
- One access per provider and workspace. With Change key you replace the stored key; with Delete you remove the access.
Tips
- If the test fails, check the key for copied spaces and whether your account with the provider is active and has credit.
- If the card shows Expired or an error, replace the key via Change key and test again.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to add my own AI credentials?
No, only if you want to create HeyGen avatar videos. All other AI features of ALLMEDIA.AI work without your own access.
Can I add my own OpenAI or Claude key for texts?
No. There is no custom access for text generation. You choose which text model a channel uses in the AI Model („KI-Modell“) tile in the channel canvas.
