# Make videos for your help articles with Auto Capture

> Ask Claude, connected to Tella's MCP server, to find help articles with no video and use Auto Capture to record each one from the article's own steps.

<Warning>
  Auto Capture is in a **closed beta** and isn't available to every workspace yet. We'd love your feedback: email [support@tella.com](mailto:support@tella.com).
</Warning>

Ask an AI app like Claude, connected to the [Tella MCP server](/docs/help/integrations/mcp-server), to find help articles that have no video and record one for each: it reads the article's written steps, passes them to [Auto Capture](/docs/help/integrations/auto-capture), and checks the finished video against the article. Nobody has to sit down and record.

<iframe src="https://www.tella.tv/video/vid_cmv9ql6k1000202ochudlh9pu/embed?b=0&title=0&a=1&loop=0&t=0&muted=0&wt=0" width="100%" style={{ aspectRatio: "16/9", border: "none", borderRadius: "8px" }} allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowFullScreen />

In the video above, Claude audits Tella's own help center, finds 179 of 252 articles with no video, picks the most-read one ("[Add zooms and screen effects](/docs/help/editing/add-a-zoom)"), and records a 26-second demo of adding a zoom in the Tella editor straight from the article's instructions.

## What you need before you start

* **An AI app connected to Tella.** Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor or another client with the Tella MCP server. See [Connect an AI assistant to Tella](/docs/help/integrations/mcp-server#connect-an-ai-assistant-to-tella).
* **A saved login for your product,** if the steps happen behind a sign-in. Add a demo account under **Settings** → **Credentials**, with **Use on** set to your app's site. See [Let Auto Capture sign in to your product](/docs/help/integrations/auto-capture-credentials).
* **Your help center's address,** such as `https://example.com/help`, so the AI can read the articles.

## Ask the AI to record videos for your help articles

Paste a prompt like this into a chat with the Tella connector turned on, with your own addresses and login name:

```text theme={"system"}
Audit the help center at https://example.com/help and list the articles
that don't have an embedded video. Pick the most-read one, then use Tella
Auto Capture to record a video that follows the article's written steps on
https://app.example.com, signed in with the "Demo account" credential.
When it's delivered, check the video matches the article step by step and
tell me anywhere it doesn't. Then put it in a new Tella video named after
the article.
```

The AI then:

1. Reads your help center and lists the articles with no video.
2. Starts an Auto Capture take, passing the article's steps as the instructions. The capture agent signs in off camera, writes a script, checks it runs, then records it.
3. When the take is delivered, compares what the video shows with what the article says.
4. Puts the take in a new Tella video, ready to trim, narrate and share.

Ask for one take per article. For a batch, ask it to work through the list one article at a time.

<Warning>
  Name a saved login in your prompt, never a password. Auto Capture only signs in with logins saved under **Settings** → **Credentials**.
</Warning>

## Find out where your help article is wrong

If the capture agent can't follow an article's steps, a reader probably can't either. When a take ends with a question, or the check finds the video and the article disagree, that usually means a step is missing, out of order, or names a button that has since changed. Fix the article and ask for a new take.

## Keep help article videos up to date

When your product changes, ask for a new take of the articles it affects instead of re-recording by hand. If you already have an automation that updates help articles when a change ships, add a step that asks your AI app to record a fresh Auto Capture video for each article it edits.

## Add the video to your help article

Open the new video in Tella, trim it or add narration if you like, then share it and paste its embed code into the article. See [Customize embed settings](/docs/help/sharing/customize-embed-settings), or [Embed Tella videos in Mintlify](/docs/help/embed-videos/embed-tella-videos-in-mintlify) if your help center runs on Mintlify.
