varg-birthday-video

Turns a name, an age and a few photos into a personalized AI birthday video on varg: a song that sings their name, their photo coming to life as they blow out the candles, a "then and now" montage, an epic trailer starring them, a pet's birthday, an animated e-card or invitation. Asks the 5 questions that make it theirs, writes the lyrics and prompts, makes the stills first (GPT Image 2.5 spells the name on the cake), animates them (Wan 3, Seedance 2.5), makes the song (ElevenLabs Music sings the name), then joins and exports one file that plays on WhatsApp and iMessage. Use when someone asks for a birthday video, a happy birthday message, a birthday song with a name, a birthday surprise, a video for a friend's, partner's, mom's or dad's birthday, a milestone birthday (18, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80), a pet's birthday or a birthday invitation. Not for weddings, anniversaries and holiday greetings (use varg-occasion-video) or a business sending birthday videos to every customer (make-personalized-videos-at-scale on varg how to).

# Personalized AI birthday video

A name, an age and one to twenty photos in; a 15–60 s video that is unmistakably theirs out: their name sung on
the hook, their face (or their dog's), the details only their people know. Generic "Happy Birthday" templates
are what everyone already gets; the reason to make one with an agent is that it can be about one person.

Generation runs on varg: REST `https://api.varg.ai/v2` (the `varg-ai` skill) or the MCP server
`https://mcp.varg.ai/mcp` (`generate_image`, `generate_video`, `generate_music`, `call_tool`, `get_job`,
`estimate_cost`). Quote the price of every clip before it runs.

## 1. Ask five things, then go

1. **Who and how to say it:** the name as they spell it and how it sounds, the age (or "don't say it"), and who
   is sending it (partner, best friend, kids to a parent, a team).
