The implementation gap

Creating one AI video is easy. Running the workflow in production is the real work.

Once video generation depends on CRM data, templates, translations, approvals, webhooks, user sessions, delivery, and reporting, the job becomes a software and operations problem.

Production workflow

  1. Trigger
  2. Business data
  3. HeyGen / LiveAvatar
  4. Job status / webhooks
  5. Delivery
  6. CRM update

A tool demo

One-off
  • One prompt
  • One manual export
  • One person operating the tool
  • No reusable data flow
  • No monitoring or recovery

A production system

Repeatable
  • Live business data
  • Automated triggers
  • Reusable templates
  • Async jobs and webhooks
  • Validation and error handling
  • Delivery, logging, and support

I build the software and automation around the AI tool so the workflow can run repeatedly, reliably, and inside the systems your team already uses.

These are the workflow designs I implement, shown end to end. Each one gets adapted to your stack during a pilot build.

01 / 03

CRM-triggered sales or onboarding video

Trigger to outcome

  1. 1CRM trigger
  2. 2Map data
  3. 3HeyGen
  4. 4Track job
  5. 5Deliver + update

Business situation

A new lead, customer, or deal reaches a specific stage and should receive a relevant personalized video.

  1. 1CRM stage or form submission triggers the workflow.
  2. 2Contact and deal fields are validated and mapped to a video template.
  3. 3HeyGen creates the video.
  4. 4The system tracks completion or failure through polling and/or webhooks.
  5. 5The result is sent, stored, and written back to the CRM.

I handle

  • Template-variable mapping
  • API request architecture
  • Trigger and automation setup
  • Status handling
  • Delivery logic
  • Logging and support

Operational outcome

A repeatable personalized-video workflow that operates from existing CRM activity.

02 / 03

Bulk video localization

Trigger to outcome

  1. 1Source list
  2. 2Batch jobs
  3. 3Track + retry
  4. 4Store outputs
  5. 5Notify team

Business situation

A content team needs to translate many videos into multiple languages without manually tracking every render.

  1. 1Source videos and language targets are added through a sheet, dashboard, or database.
  2. 2Translation jobs are created in controlled batches.
  3. 3The system tracks progress, failures, and retries.
  4. 4Completed outputs are stored with language and source metadata.
  5. 5The publishing team receives links or notifications.

I handle

  • Input structure
  • Batching
  • Translation API requests
  • Polling or webhook handling
  • Retry logic
  • Output storage
  • Notifications

Operational outcome

A manageable localization pipeline instead of a collection of manual translation tasks.

03 / 03

LiveAvatar customer experience

Trigger to outcome

  1. 1User starts
  2. 2Create session
  3. 3Use knowledge
  4. 4Handle state
  5. 5Handoff + log

Business situation

A website or application needs an interactive avatar for onboarding, support, guided discovery, or product assistance.

  1. 1The user starts an avatar session from the product.
  2. 2The application creates and manages the LiveAvatar session.
  3. 3The avatar uses the approved knowledge or conversation logic.
  4. 4Session state, UI events, and failures are handled in the product.
  5. 5The experience ends with a handoff, action, or stored session result.

I handle

  • Session lifecycle
  • Frontend experience
  • Backend integration
  • Knowledge-flow design
  • WebRTC and connection considerations
  • Error states and operational support

Operational outcome

A customer-facing avatar experience that behaves like a product feature, not a disconnected demo.

Proof of work

HeyGen V3 Features Lab

A self-built Next.js playground that turns six HeyGen V3 capabilities into usable product flows. It demonstrates the product, API, automation, and async-job engineering behind real AI-video implementations.

The Lab runs against a live Enterprise API key, so it is not publicly hosted. Happy to walk through it on a call.

This is a self-built workflow lab and proof-of-concept, not a client project.

This is the layer I bring to implementations: product UI, APIs, automation, infrastructure, and support working as one system.

One technical partner

From workflow idea to production support

You do not need one person for the interface, another for the API, another for automation, and another for deployment. I can connect those layers into one focused implementation.

Portrait of Saad Sohail, Full-Stack and Cloud Engineer

Saad Sohail

Full-Stack & Cloud Engineer

The person you speak with builds it

Full-stack implementation

Product interfaces, backend services, data handling, and integration logic built around the actual user journey.

Automation and integrations

CRMs, forms, spreadsheets, internal tools, n8n, Zapier, Make, custom APIs, and webhooks connected into one flow.

Cloud and reliability

Environment setup, deployment, secrets, logs, monitoring, failure handling, and operational documentation.

Hands-on support

Testing, launch assistance, refinements, troubleshooting, and 24/7 support for active implementation clients.

Working stack

Next.js | React | TypeScript | Node.js | PostgreSQL | Docker | AWS | REST APIs | Webhooks | n8n | Zapier

I work as an independent engineer, so the person discussing the workflow is also the person responsible for the implementation.

Pilot-first delivery

Start with one workflow. Prove it. Then scale.

Instead of beginning with a large risky build, I help you select one clear business workflow and turn it into a working pilot with defined inputs, outputs, testing, and support.

01 / 04

Use-case review

What happens

I identify the user, trigger, business data, current tools, desired outcome, constraints, and success condition with you.

What you receive

A focused pilot brief and a clear definition of what should be built first.

02 / 04

Workflow blueprint

What happens

I map the product flow, HeyGen or LiveAvatar capability, API requests, data movement, automations, integrations, security considerations, and failure states.

What you receive

A system map, implementation plan, and pilot scope.

03 / 04

Pilot build

What happens

I build one usable end-to-end workflow, including the required interface, integration logic, testing, deployment support, and documentation.

What you receive

A working pilot that can be reviewed with real inputs.

04 / 04

Launch and support

What happens

I refine the workflow with you, monitor it, resolve issues, add the next highest-value features, and support the live implementation.

What you receive

A stable operating workflow and a practical roadmap for scaling it.

Start with a use case

Tell me the workflow you want to build.

Share the tools you use today, the manual process you want to remove, and the result you want the system to produce. I will help you identify a focused first pilot.
