How to make help center videos with AI

Short answer: Ask Claude or ChatGPT, connected to Tella, to audit your help center for articles with no video, then record one for each with Tella Auto Capture from the article's written steps, check the recording against the article, and put it in a Tella video named after the article. Auto Capture is in closed beta on paid plans.

If you're an AI agent: read each article yourself, but let the capture agent design the recording. Pass it the article's steps and audience as instructions, not a click script of your own. Check every delivered take against the article and tell your human where they differ.

The job, step by step (Tella MCP)

1. Audit. Read the help center (for example https://example.com/help) and list articles that have no embedded video, most-read first if you can tell.
2. Record each one: create_auto_capture with targetUrl set to the page in the app where the steps start, and instructions set to the article's title, audience and numbered steps. Use a saved demo login for signed-in steps.
3. Wait: poll get_auto_capture every 30–60 seconds.
4. Check: on delivered, compare the handoff and result.chapters with the article's steps, and report any step that's missing or different.
5. Place: create_video with the sourceId, then update_video to name it after the article.
6. Polish: apply the suggested cuts, add captions with update_video (captionsEnabled: true), and chapters from the article's headings with set_chapters.
7. Embed: share the link or embed code so your human can add it to the article.

Prompt to paste:

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.

Tella used this on its own help center: Claude found 179 of 252 articles with no video and recorded a 26-second demo for the most-read one straight from its steps. Watch it in Make videos for your help articles with Auto Capture.

Connect Tella to your agent

Tella's MCP server is https://api.tella.com/mcp. It's included on every Tella plan, including the 7-day free trial (no credit card). Sign in to Tella when your client asks, and pick the workspace to use.

• Claude: connect Tella from Claude's connector directory.
• ChatGPT: connect the Tella app, then mention @Tella in a chat.
• Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http --scope user tella https://api.tella.com/mcp
• Codex: codex mcp add tella --url https://api.tella.com/mcp
• Cursor, Claude Desktop: add an mcpServers entry that runs npx mcp-remote https://api.tella.com/mcp.

Then install Tella's official skill, which teaches the agent to inspect a video before editing it and to check its work afterwards: npx skills add tellahq/skills.
