The content gap

L&D, training, and enablement teams face rising demand for video, but traditional production pipelines are too slow and too complex to keep up.

A new category

Generative screencasting introduces an AI-powered capability that runs inside OpenAI’s ChatGPT to map out scripts, callouts, and cursor paths based on your actual screenshots.

Turn screenshots into videos in minutes

AI structures your screenshots and applies instructional best practices, getting your video most of the way there. As the subject matter expert, you have full control to review, verify, and refine before the AI video is generated.

Instructional best practices included

AI can automatically generate a script, position smart cursor movements, and sequence details logically, so you never have to face a blank timeline.

Expert verification for accuracy

In instructional content, a few errors can compromise the entire lesson. Stay in control to easily verify content accuracy and make quick adjustments.
