    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start creating">
    You can now use prompts with the integration to create AI videos.

    Example prompts:

    * `Generate a video presentation using /HeyGen`
    * `Create an AI spokesperson with /HeyGen`
    * `Build a video message system using /HeyGen`

    <Warning>
      The API limits how often your app can fetch data. If your app loads the same data often, ask the agent to save it locally so it doesn't re-fetch every time.
    </Warning>

    Example prompt for optimization:

    ```
    When using /HeyGen, save the generated videos so my app doesn't have to fetch them again
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Your HeyGen integration is ready! Use `/HeyGen` in chat to create AI videos.
