# muapi-talking-baby-video

This skill produces a viral-style video of a talking baby: it generates the character image first, then animates it to speak a given line. Useful when you need a short clip for social feeds without shooting anything.

## What it does

The skill walks the agent through two phases. First it collects any missing inputs and runs `muapi image generate` to draw the baby in a costume — model `nano-banana` or `wan2.5-text-to-image`, aspect ratio 9:16 or 1:1. The image goes back to you for approval.

Once you approve it, the second phase starts: `muapi video from-image` with model `grok-imagine-image-to-video` takes that still and animates it to speak. The prompt pulls in the baby description, the costume and the line the baby should say.

Three inputs are optional: `baby_costume`, `dialogue` and `baby_description`. Leave them out and the skill falls back to its own values — a pilot uniform, a line about an Airbus A380 and a description of a six-month-old baby. You need a `MUAPI_API_KEY` before the first run; without it the agent calls `muapi auth configure` first. For model IDs that have no CLI alias yet, the skill suggests hitting the raw endpoint with `curl` and polling with `muapi predict wait <request_id>`.

## When to use it
- Generate a short talking-baby clip for social feeds
- Get a character image in a chosen costume and animate it
- Produce a vertical 9:16 video for a mobile feed
- Run both generation phases through the CLI without wiring a pipeline by hand

## Example prompts
- Make a talking baby video in a doctor costume
- Generate the baby pilot image and show it to me for approval
- Animate this image: have the baby say "Hi, I run this place"

# Talking Baby Video

**Create a viral-style video of a talking baby with custom costumes and scripts.**

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| `baby_costume` | text | no | a pilot uniform | The costume the baby is wearing (e.g., doctor, chef, pilot). |
| `dialogue` | text | no | Airbus A380 big plane! Go zoom! Have lots seats. People like fly in it. Best plane ever! | The script for the baby to say. |
| `baby_description` | text | no | A cute 6 months old male baby | Description of the baby. |


## Steps

### Phase A — Baby Character Generation

Submit the plan with ONE step to create the baby character:

1. **Baby Image Generation** — `muapi image generate` (model=`nano-banana` or `wan2.5-text-to-image`):
   - Prompt: `{{baby_description}} sitting and wearing {{baby_costume}}. High-quality photography, soft natural lighting, adorable expression, detailed fabric textures, shallow depth of field, Pixar-like charm but realistic.`
   - Aspect ratio: 9:16 or 1:1

Present the baby image to the user for approval.

### Phase B — Talking Animation

Once the image is approved, submit the plan to animate the baby talking:

1. **Talking Animation** — `muapi video from-image` (model=`grok-imagine-image-to-video`):
   - Reference Image: The baby image from Phase A.
   - Prompt: `A viral-style talking baby video. The baby is expressive, moving their mouth and head naturally while speaking the following lines: "{{dialogue}}". Subtle facial expressions like blinking and smiling. High-quality animation, smooth movements.`
   - Aspect ratio: 9:16 or 1:1

After generation, present the final talking baby video.

## Trigger Keywords

`talking baby`, `viral baby video`, `baby pilot`, `baby doctor`, `funny baby animation`

## Notes for the Executing Agent

- This recipe is LLM-orchestrated: read each phase, gather any missing inputs from the user, then call `muapi` CLI commands. Use `muapi auth configure` first if `MUAPI_API_KEY` is unset.
