## Summary

Synthesia launched a ChatGPT plugin on November 3, 2026, available on all its plans. The plugin merges AI video generation with ChatGPT’s conversational workflows, letting users describe videos or upload documents to create explainers, training modules, or marketing content directly in chat. Revisions are handled in conversation, and the plugin supports two modes: **Syren** for flexible, conversational videos (motion graphics, avatars, voiceovers) and **Studio** for precise script-based videos with scene-level editing. Users can also search their existing video library from ChatGPT and automate production by connecting tools like Slack or email inboxes to trigger video creation based on new content—such as Slack posts turning into launch videos or help-center articles becoming how-to clips.

The integration aims to streamline workflows by eliminating separate script and video production steps. For example, product updates or call notes drafted in ChatGPT can be turned into videos without manual handoffs. Synthesia highlights use cases like automated HR welcome videos, sales recaps from Zoom transcripts, and weekly company roundups. The plugin connects via ChatGPT’s Plugins menu, with free Synthesia accounts available during setup.

## Key points

- Two modes: **Syren** for flexible videos (motion graphics, avatars) and **Studio** for script-based editing with scene control
- Automation triggers from Slack, email, or other tools can turn updates into videos without manual requests

## Why it matters

The plugin lowers the barrier for non-technical teams to produce professional videos from chat workflows, merging AI generation with existing tools like Slack or email. It could accelerate content creation for marketing, training, and customer support without hiring editors.
