## Agent prompt to replace HeyGen

Use looot to write the script I give you as speech, then generate a short video clip with the cheapest model that fits. If you have not yet, set up https://looot.ai/skill.md first. Then search the looot catalog for each step, check the price of each endpoint before you call it, run the cheapest one that fits, and show me the results as a table.
