Ask Vidler AI to do things

Type what you want done, like "Share this with Ana" or "Write a bug report from this video". Vidler AI shows what it will do, and nothing changes until you choose Do it.

Ask doesn't only answer questions. Tell Vidler AI what to do, and it proposes the actions for you to check first.

What you can ask for

  • Documents: "Write a bug report from this video", "Write meeting notes about the pricing part" or "Write the agent prompt".
  • Sharing: "Share this with Ana and sam@acme.com", "Share this with the design team" or "Share this with anyone at acme.com".
  • Spaces and folders: "Add this to the Design space" or "Move this to the Onboarding folder".
  • Comments and tasks: "Add a comment at 0:12: the button is misaligned" or "Add a task for Sam at 2:10: fix the save button".
  • Tags: "Tag this as onboarding and q3".
  • Requests: "Create a video request link for customer feedback".
  • Issues: "Create a Jira issue from this video". This uses your own Jira or Linear connection from Settings → Integrations.
  • Follow-ups: "Draft a follow-up email". Nothing is sent: the draft is saved in Your documents on the video.

On a video, open the Summary tab, click Ask Vidler AI and type in Ask about this video. Requests there apply to that video. On the Ask AI page, name the video, such as "my latest video" or its title, or ask right after an answer that cites it.

Check, then choose Do it

  1. Type the request and press Enter.
  2. Each action shows as a card: what it will do, what changes, who will see it, and which video.
  3. Choose Do it, or Cancel. When there are several, untick any you don't want, then choose Do 2 actions.

Nothing changes before you choose Do it.

After an action

The card shows what happened, with a link to it. Undo reverses it for 24 hours where it can: it removes the access, tags, comments, tasks, documents and request links it added, and moves a video back. Some things can't be taken back, and the card says so: an email Vidler sent stays sent, and an issue in Jira or Linear stays there.

What Vidler AI won't do

  • Act on its own. It only acts when you ask, never because of something said in a video, a comment or a title.
  • Go round your access. It can only do what you could do yourself. A card you can't run says why, such as "Only people who can edit this video can share it", or your workspace's rule on sharing outside the workspace.
  • Guess who to share with. People, groups, spaces, folders and assignees must be named in your request.

The activity log

Every action and every undo is in the workspace activity log, marked "via Vidler AI", along with each change it made. Owners and admins can choose Vidler AI actions in the log's filter.
