Ask Vidler AI about your videos

Ask a question about one video or every video you can see, and get an answer that links to the moment it was said.

  5. Ask Vidler AI to do something

Instead of scrubbing through a video, ask it. Vidler AI answers from what's said and links each answer to the moments it's based on. Answers are labelled "Generated by Vidler AI".

Ask about one video

  1. Open the video and go to the Summary tab.
  2. Click Ask Vidler AI.
  3. Click a suggested question, or type your own in Ask about this video and press Enter.

Under each answer, click a time such as 0:02 to jump to that moment. Use the copy button to copy the answer. If an answer is taking too long, click Stop answering, then Ask again. Use the back button to return to the summary.

What viewers can do

  • Suggested questions answer straight away, even for people who aren't signed in.
  • Typing your own question needs a Vidler account. Viewers who aren't signed in see "Sign in to ask your own."
  • If the video asks for an email, viewers enter it before they can ask.

Ask across all your videos

  1. Click Ask AI in the top bar. You can also press Cmd+K / Ctrl+K, type a question and choose Ask Vidler AI.
  2. Choose which videos to search: All videos you can see, Your videos, or a folder or space.
  3. Type your question, such as "What was decided about the launch date?", and press Enter.

The answer lists its sources, each with the video and the moment. Ask a follow-up in the same box.

Catch up on recent videos

Open Ask AI and click the Catch up tab. Choose 7 days, 14 days or 30 days, and Everyone, Teammates or Yours. Vidler AI summarises what was recorded, lists open action items that name you, and shows each video with a short summary. Click Ask about these videos to ask a question about them.

When Ask isn't available

You won't see Ask, or it says why, when:

  • your workspace turned Vidler AI off;
  • an admin turned off Ask for viewers (owners and editors can still ask);
  • the owner turned off Ask about this video in the video's Settings tab;
  • the video has no transcript, or the transcript is hidden from viewers.

Ask Vidler AI to do something

Both Ask boxes also take requests, such as "Share this with Ana" or "Write a bug report from this video". Vidler AI shows each action as a card, and nothing changes until you choose Do it. See Ask Vidler AI to do things.
