DescriptionOpenAI's persistent agents for ongoing work across connected apps, with read-only proactive research and separate approval rules for actions.Magic Hour combines browser-based AI video, image and audio tools, including face swap, image generation, headshots, lip sync and animation. Its AI Headshot Generator uses one source photo and advertises up to three free headshots per day without signup or a watermark; the live counter can show a different remaining allowance. Review the likeness and available attempts before using a result. The pricing page limits free use to personal, non-commercial purposes and grants commercial-use rights to paid users. As checked September 9, 2026, the US pricing page displays Creator at $19/month, Pro at $39/month and Business at $99/month. Annual billing is also offered at $144, $300 and $792 per year respectively. Credit packs are separate purchases and do not include the subscription benefits beyond watermark removal. Image outputs already have no watermark, while free video and audio outputs may be watermarked. Check the selected tool, remaining credits and plan terms before starting a larger project.
