Elevenlabs just dropped a brand new MCP that comes with voice, music, image and video generation in Elevenlabs. And this is pretty amazing. So far, I've tested it out. It kind of feels like Higgs field a little bit, but it's super easy to set up. And also, I know a lot of people are using Elevenlabs already. Plus, you can have your own sort of custom systems built in. So, for example, I can plug in my voice. I can create like amazing vertical videos as well as long form too, as you can see right here. The quality is super nice when you're using this too. So, looks incredible when you're opening it up. And it was super easy to connect inside a system like this. So, basically, in the space of five, ten minutes of it dropping, I have my own sort of studio built out where I can generate video or voice or music or sound effects, whatever I want. So, I want to talk through exactly what it is, how it works, etc. and how to use it. The first thing that you want to do is just get an API key from Elevenlabs if you don't have that already. If you want to generate the API key, you can just make sure you have an account with Elevenlabs. And then you just go to the settings and get an API key. Once you've done that, then you can basically plug this into any AI agent that you want. So, the cool thing about an MCP is that it basically connects with all of your favorite AI agents. So, ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, GrokBot, Hermes. And you've got not just the MCP, but also the CLI. So, you can switch between them and choose whichever one you want. When I was setting it up, it was super simple. So, let me show you an example of how I actually set it up using Astra 6. You can use it however you want. So, you could combine it with Hermes or ChatGPT, whatever you prefer. If you want to see an example, this is basically how we did it. So, I said, can you add Elevenlabs MCP as a tab inside the video agent of the agent OS? And also create some insane league of videos and examples inside the two videos, etc. Make sure it's fully working. Create a guide of example videos. That's at the point we're at now where it's just like you give it the documentation. You give the AI agent an API key, which I did earlier in the message. And that's basically it. That's how we created this tool. And then if we scroll down now, you can see that it created it. So, it can create it in 4K as well. So, the quality of the videos is super nice. You can have images as well with this. It stores the key privately, the API key. And then the MCP itself is like super easy to set up. So, it actually created this full guide about it as well. And then as we scroll down here, I said, can you just build out some more amazing videos inside the Elevenlabs section. So, we can actually get AstraZix or any of your AI agents to use this directly. And that's basically it. That's how easy it was. So, if we go over here now, we go inside the AgentOS tab. It's pretty cool because we've got basically a full video studio. So, we've got like the director section here where I can use HNAPI with my AI agents, describe what I want. It can edit it and create it as you can see right here. And then also, we've got a motion designer. So, this is using Astra 6 and a combination of Remotion to create like amazing videos. Example right here. So, this is really cool for animations and that sort of thing. But then also, we can go into Elevenlabs here. And the videos that I create, they also show us a preview inside the hero bar. So, the design is super clean. We've got the MCP details over here. And we have the full guide to it as well. And then as we scroll down, we can select, okay, do we want to make a video, a voice, a music, sound effects, etc. The other thing that blew me away was like how quick and easy it is to do. And then we can select how long we want the duration to be. So, right now, the video duration is eight seconds. So, it's pretty short. But I think actually you can extend that. So, you can see here on the plans like what you get based on the number of videos and everything else, which is pretty cool. And also, you get AI avatars too with this. You can see the avatars that will build in with this system. So, we can have like talking AI avatars, kind of like HeyGen, as you can see right here. But one of the biggest differences is that when you're building AI avatars with 11 labs, well, it's got much better voice generation, which is going to make the video itself look much nicer and much more realistic. Example right here. It looks super nice on the avatar style. And then from here, we can give it creative direction. Also, what we can do is we can give it a starting image. So, for example, if you wanted to generate an avatar, or if you, for example, wanted to bring a book or, you know, some sort of product that you have, if you're doing e-com to life, you could do that too. I also think you could use this for ads, for ads creatives. I'll show you some examples. And also, like inside the UI here, you can see that we can flick between like, okay, do we want videos? Do we want to see our voice? Do we want to see the music we've created, the sound effects, et cetera? It's kind of like having Suno, Hey Jen, a voice agent, and also a video generator all in one. So pretty nice how it works. It looks super clean. You can also generate portrait style animations here. This is kind of like a product promo, as you can see. And this is one that actually generated for my book earlier, which looks super nice. So you can see that we basically just gave it an image of my book, and then it brought it to life and created this pretty insane animation with minimal prompting. You can see the creative direction as well here. So what I'd recommend is that you build a system like this, where you can see everything you've created, what prompts you used. If you want to remix it, it's there. If you want to get the actual original, you've got it over there. And then also, you can just build anything you want, but you can separate it out, right? So it basically looks and feels like a SaaS tool, but behind it, all it is is 11labs MCP combined with GPT-6 Astra or Hermes Agent or whatever you prefer. Now, one of the things I'll say here is that you could set this up from scratch. If you just want to get my setup with all my tools built into this whole system, you can get that inside the AI Profit Boardroom. Link in the comment section or just go to the AI Profit Bottom. It comes with all sorts of cool stuff inside there, including Higgs field as well and some other cool tools. The other thing that I would say is I'd recommend using GPT-6 Astra to build this, whether you use that with Hermes or not, simply because when I ask it to build beautiful tools like this, it comes out perfectly almost every time, right? Much nicer than my previous creations, which I really like. And then also, we've got on the right-hand side some presets, as you can see right here. So if you're not sure, okay, what should I create? Well, you can click on one of the presets and switch between them, which is nice. And honestly, when I saw the announcement of 11labs MCP, I wasn't really that excited. And then when I tested it, I was like, okay, I get it. Like, this is pretty amazing, actually. The quality itself, just unbelievable. The other thing that you could do as well, which I really like, is anything that you create plugs into the workspace over here. So, you know, quite often if you're generating, especially if it's just short videos, it's quite hard to organize that and keep that organized somewhere. So what I do is I have the system basically put that into the workspace. Anything I create with 11labs or the video director or the motion designer, it's all over here and it's ready to go. And it looks super clean and nice. But yeah, this is all part of a system where we've got, for example, like our sales agent OS, so we can manage our whole team and all the calls that have come in recently. As you can see right here, so our AI agents automatically analyze what sort of sales calls were built in. Also, the other thing that we've done recently is build a design OS. So we can basically plug in amazing templates, as you can see right here. We've got a design library over here too. You can see an example right here, like the quality is pretty insane, as you can see. And then this is custom trained to create beautiful websites. We also have, for example, an SEO OS. So this can basically take all of my data from Google Search Console, plug it into a beautiful UI, as you can see right here. And then that's good to go and we can create content automatically. So it's all inside one system. And the thing that I'm seeing is this is becoming easier and easier. You know, like if you look at that 11labs MCP system that we set up a second ago, the trend that I'm seeing right now is that this just dropped today. I just tested it out for 20 minutes. We've already built a SaaS tool around it. And the thing that I'm seeing here is like Astra 6, in a scary way, is getting better and better at building these tools, at transforming these MCPs, and building something where you've got your own customized SaaS, right? You're not using anyone else's. And I think that's the amazing thing that has just been unlocked with Astra 6 and Hermes Agent and everything else.
