Explainer diagrams that build as you explain
Ask the Tella Agent to turn the technical parts of your video into flowcharts, pipelines and timelines that draw in step by step as you talk.
Try it in Tella
Paste a prompt into the Tella Agent in the editor, or into Claude or ChatGPT connected to Tella, then ask for changes.
Find the three most technical parts of this video and add a diagram for each as b-roll. Boxes and arrows draw in as I describe each stage, labelled with my words. White background, one accent color, thin lines.
When I explain how a request goes from the browser to the API to the database and back, show an animated flow diagram. Each box appears as I name it, and a dot travels along the arrows in order.
Turn the approval process I walk through into a flowchart that builds step by step, with decision points as diamonds. Show it as b-roll while I talk, then cut back to me.
How do I add animated explainer diagrams to a video with AI?
In Tella, ask the Tella Agent to illustrate the technical parts of your video. It reads the transcript, picks the moments that need a visual, and builds each diagram with Tella Motion. Boxes, arrows and labels draw in as you explain them, and the diagrams play as b-roll or overlays.
How to do it
- Open your video and find the Tella Agent chat on the right (Shift + S).
- Name the parts to illustrate, or ask it to find the technical moments.
- Attach a reference image with the + button to match a style.
- Review each diagram and ask for changes to labels, layout or timing.
Good to know
- Available to everyone: through the Tella Agent on a paid plan or the 7-day trial, or through Claude or ChatGPT on any plan.
- Diagrams use Tella Motion shapes, paths and text. Tella doesn't import diagram files from other tools.
- As b-roll, a diagram replaces your camera for that stretch while your voice keeps playing.
- Diagrams stay as editable layers, so you can rename a box or recolor an arrow by asking.
Frequently asked questions

As many as the video needs. In Tella, ask the Tella Agent for one diagram per section, or let it choose where they go.
Yes. An AI app connected to Tella's MCP server gets the same Tella Motion tools as the Tella Agent. Ask it to work on your Tella video and the graphics appear in the editor as it builds them.
