Hosts are paying videographers thousands of dollars for a walkthrough video of their place. This guide shows you how to get one from the photos you already have. You connect one tool to Claude, upload your listing photos with one prompt, and Claude turns them into a cinematic walkthrough of your entire place. Then it rewrites your title and description and reorders your photos so the best ones hit first.
What you get: Connect Higgsfield to Claude in 30 seconds, save your listing photos from Airbnb, the exact prompt from my video, a cinematic walkthrough of your whole place, a new title, description and photo order, and 2 copyable prompts.
What You'll Get
The plan · 4 steps
- 1Connect Higgsfield to Claude (once, about 30 seconds).
- 2Save your listing photos from Airbnb.
- 3Upload them to Claude with the prompt.
- 4Update your listing and post your video.
Before you start
Your account
Claude on any plan, and a paid Higgsfield plan (the Claude connector needs an active Higgsfield subscription).
Your materials
Your listing photos (up to 20), plus your current title and description.
Your first goal
One walkthrough video of your place and a listing with a new title, description and photo order.
Claude does the thinking and Higgsfield, an AI video tool, makes the video. Once they're connected, one prompt gets you three things:
- A cinematic walkthrough video. It starts outside, then moves room to room with smooth camera moves and quick cuts, the kind that makes people stop scrolling and actually book.
- A new title and description written so people want to book.
- A new photo order so your best photos show first.
The prompt is below. Connect Higgsfield (Step 1) and save your photos (Step 2) first, then send it.

Selling a home instead of hosting one? My AI Home Showcase Videos guide does the same thing for real estate listings.
The Airbnb Prompt
This is the exact prompt from my video. Do Steps 1 and 2 first, then open a new chat in Claude, attach all your listing photos, paste this and send it. Fill in your current title and description at the end so Claude has something to rewrite.
Use Higgsfield to turn these listing photos into a 15-second cinematic walkthrough video of my Airbnb in 16:9. Start outside, then move room to room with smooth panoramic camera moves (slow orbits, sideways tracking shots, low glides) and quick cuts, and keep every room exactly like the photos. Then rewrite my listing title and description so people want to book, and reorder my photos so the best ones show first. My current title: [PASTE YOUR LISTING TITLE] My current description: [PASTE YOUR LISTING DESCRIPTION]
What happens next
Claude sends your photos to Higgsfield and turns them into a cinematic walkthrough of your entire place. Video takes a few minutes, so let it run. When it's done you get the video to download, your new title and description, and your photos in their new order.
Want it for Reels and TikTok too?
Stay in the same chat and send this:
Now make a 9:16 vertical version of the same walkthrough for Instagram Reels and TikTok. Same rooms, same smooth camera moves and quick cuts, and keep every room exactly like the photos.
Maverick's tip
Every clip uses Higgsfield credits. Want to know the cost first? Ask Claude "How many credits will this use?" before it starts.
Connect Higgsfield to Claude
You only do this once. It takes about 30 seconds.
Copy the link
Google Higgsfield MCP and click the first link (higgsfield.ai/mcp). Copy the server link on that page:
Add it to Claude
- Open Connectors. In Claude, click Customize in the left sidebar, then Connectors. (Some versions have it under Settings > Connectors.)
- Add the connector. Click + Add, then Add custom connector. Name it Higgsfield, paste the link and click Add.
- Sign in. Click Connect, sign into your Higgsfield account and approve access.
Turn it on in your chat
In a new chat, click the + next to the message box, open Connectors and make sure Higgsfield is on.
Heads up: The connector needs a paid Higgsfield plan. On Claude's Free plan you can add one custom connector, so if you already have one, remove it or upgrade.
Save Your Listing Photos
Claude needs the actual photos. If you have the originals from your photographer or your phone, use those, because they're the sharpest. If not, save them straight from Airbnb. Do this on a computer.
Save them from Airbnb
- Open your photos. On airbnb.com, click Listings and pick your listing. In the listing editor, open Photo tour, then All photos.
- Open each photo in a new tab. Right-click a photo and choose Open image in new tab.
- Get the full-size version. In the address bar, delete /im right after .com and press Enter.
- Save it. Right-click the photo and choose Save image as. Repeat for every photo.
Which photos to use
Save all of them: the outside, the living room, the kitchen, every bedroom and bathroom, and anything special like a hot tub, a fire pit or the view. Claude uses them for the video and to pick your new photo order.
Maverick's tip
Claude takes up to 20 files per chat. Got more than 20 photos? Send your best 20, with at least one of every room. Those are the ones that decide your cover anyway.
Put It to Work
Your new title and description
On airbnb.com, click Listings and pick your listing. In the listing editor, open Your space, click Title, paste the new one and click Save. Do the same with Description. Airbnb suggests keeping titles under 50 characters.
Your new photo order
In the listing editor, open Photo tour, then All photos, and drag your photos into the order Claude gave you. The first five show on your cover page, and the first one is the big photo people see in search. Changes save automatically.
Where your video goes
Airbnb doesn't let you add a video to a home listing right now, only photos. So put your walkthrough where people will actually see it:
- Instagram Reels, TikTok and Facebook. Use the vertical version from Prompt 2.
- YouTube or your own booking site, if you have one. The 16:9 version is made for these.
- Your booked guests. Send it in your Airbnb messages so they're excited before they arrive. Airbnb takes videos up to 60 seconds there.
Heads up: Don't paste links to your video or your website in your Airbnb listing or messages. Airbnb doesn't allow links that send guests off Airbnb.
Common Mistakes and Quick Fixes
| If this happens | Try this |
|---|---|
| No "Add custom connector" option | Check Customize > Connectors > + Add, or Settings > Connectors. On the Free plan you get one custom connector, so remove the one you have or upgrade. |
| Claude says it can't make videos | Click + next to the message box, open Connectors and turn Higgsfield on. Then send the prompt again. |
| Higgsfield won't sign in or asks you to subscribe | The connector needs a paid Higgsfield plan. Pick one, then click Connect again. |
| A Higgsfield upload box pops up in the chat | That's normal. Drop the same photos into it so Higgsfield can use them, and Claude keeps going. |
| Rooms look different from your photos | Say: "Keep every room exactly like the photos. No new furniture, no warping, and use gentler camera moves." |
| You get separate clips instead of one video | Say: "Put the clips together into one 15-second video, starting outside, with quick cuts." Or drop the clips into CapCut in order. |
| The video looks blurry | Use your original photos, or save them again with the /im trick from Step 2. |
| The new title is too long | Say: "Give me five title options under 50 characters." |
| You're running low on credits | Use fewer photos (one per room) and ask Claude how many credits it'll use before it starts. |
| Your photos came from Airbnb's photo service | Airbnb says those are for your personal use and can't go on another rental site, so keep the video off other rental sites. |
