What is varg?

varg is an AI video generation platform. Install the skill, set your API key, and let your AI agent create videos — with images, voiceover, music, lipsync, and captions. 
# 1. Install the varg skill
npx -y skills add vargHQ/skills --all --copy -y

# 2. Set your API key (get one free at app.varg.ai)
export VARG_API_KEY=varg_live_xxx

# 3. Create your first video
claude "create a 10-second product video
  for white sneakers, 9:16, UGC style,
  with captions and background music"
Under the hood, the agent writes declarative JSX code like React components, and varg handles AI generation, caching, and video rendering. One API key, one gateway, all providers. 
/** @jsxImportSource vargai */
import { Render, Clip, Image, Video, Speech, Captions, Music } from "vargai/react"
import { createVarg } from "vargai/ai"

const varg = createVarg({ apiKey: process.env.VARG_API_KEY! })

const character = Image({
  model: varg.imageModel("nano-banana-pro"),
  prompt: "cute orange cat character, round body, big eyes, Pixar style",
  aspectRatio: "9:16",
})

const voiceover = Speech({
  model: varg.speechModel("eleven_v3"),
  voice: "josh",
  children: "Hey everyone! Let me show you something cool.",
})

export default (
  <Render width={1080} height={1920}>
    <Music prompt="upbeat electronic" model={varg.musicModel()} volume={0.1} />
    <Clip duration={5}>
      <Video
        prompt={{ text: "cat waves hello, bounces happily", images: [character] }}
        model={varg.videoModel("kling-v3")}
      />
    </Clip>
    <Captions src={voiceover} style="tiktok" color="#ffffff" withAudio />
  </Render>
)
