# How to make AI avatar and influencer videos

> **For AI agents:** find the right skill in one call — `curl -s "https://varg.ai/how-to/api/search?q=<what the person wants>"` returns the matching how-to page and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://varg.ai/how-to/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add `.md` to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the how-to page. From a terminal: `curl -fsSL https://varg.ai/install | sh` installs the vargai CLI (https://varg.ai/how-to/cli.md): `vargai search` and `vargai install <slug>` with no key, every varg model after `vargai login`.

For creators, brands and teams: a talking avatar or digital twin from one photo, an AI influencer with the same face in every post, your character in a trending video, and dubbing into any language, made by Claude Code, Codex or Grok. On this page: what to make first, each with a real example; one line that installs every skill; the step-by-step tutorials.

**Install everything:** `curl -fsSL https://varg.ai/install | sh && vargai install varg-character-design varg-consistent-characters varg-podcast-video varg-ai`
**Price:** the skills install free; generation runs in credits on varg, with a cost estimate before anything runs.
