Is HyperFrames open source and what license does it use?

Yes. HyperFrames is an open-source project released under the Apache 2.0 license. It was originated by HeyGen but is described as built for the community, and it lets AI agents compose videos by writing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

What the license allows

Apache 2.0 is a permissive open-source license. Under its terms, you can use, modify, and distribute the software, including for commercial purposes, provided you meet the license's conditions. Those conditions typically include keeping the license and copyright notices, and stating significant changes you make. Apache 2.0 also includes an express grant of patent rights from contributors.

This is a general description of the license, not legal advice. If you plan to redistribute HyperFrames or build a product on it, read the full Apache 2.0 text and any notices shipped with the project.

What "originated by HeyGen, built for the community" means

• Originated by HeyGen: HeyGen started the project.
• Built for the community: development is presented as community-oriented rather than a closed, proprietary tool.
• Open source under Apache 2.0: the source is available and the license sets the rules for reuse.

Being open source does not by itself mean there is no cost, no account, or no hosted service attached. The available page evidence does not state pricing or login requirements, so treat those as unconfirmed rather than assuming the project is free of any paid tier.

How to get started

The page shows a single install command:

npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --full-depth

Running this fetches the HyperFrames skill into your environment so an AI agent can use it. The expected result is that your agent can then compose videos by writing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. If the command fails, check that Node.js and npx are available and that you have network access to the package source.

Quick reference

If your goal is simply to confirm licensing before adopting it, the answer is that HyperFrames is Apache 2.0 open source. If your goal is to use it, start with the install command above and verify the license file in the repository for the exact terms that apply to your use.
