Hey everyone.

00:00

I've just sent out this recap of all the stuff we shipped in December.

00:05

but I have also just released a, another new feature, experimental one called Document Generation.

00:14

it's live for everybody.

00:15

You can use this today.

00:17

but I guess I'm making this video to sort of get your take on this.

00:21

you should also go and use it for a bit and then come back and tell me what you think of this and where you think this would be be useful.

00:27

But just trying some stuff is, is normally the easiest way to do it.

00:31

So document generation lives up here, in on your view page.

00:36

So if you are sharing videos with others, then this is a relevant feature for you.

00:43

If you're just exporting videos at a Tella and this is not going to be a huge thing, maybe so click on this.

00:50

and then you get this little input to create text based content from your video.

00:57

This could be documentation, this could be some other written content.

01:02

It could just be ideas and we give you a few options here.

01:07

Now you can use this, but also your viewers can use this.

01:10

So if you share the link then they can use this to turn it into something that they can use something and do something with.

01:20

So if I wanted to summarize, this, this video I can hit summary and then that will generate a little written summary for me in a moment.

01:32

and here it is here.

01:33

So you get this document, you can download it as a text file or you can copy the text and put that into another LLM or save it somewhere, whatever you want.

01:44

So it's pretty simple at the moment.

01:46

I think some things that I'd like to already iterate on is making these more relevant.

01:51

This is kind of catch all and maybe this stuff isn't relevant to you so figuring out how to make these more relevant.

01:58

But yeah, just kind of interested in getting your, your take on this.

02:02

What would you do with this?

02:04

What would make this more useful?

02:06

Tell, tell me all of it.

02:08

Anyway, let's dive today, for all of your existing videos.

02:12

Don't worry, we have not chucked this on to all your videos.

02:16

unknowingly.

02:18

it's off by default for all all existing videos.

02:24

It's on by default for new videos.

02:26

So when you make a video you'll see this switched on here.

02:30

for a new video you can switch that off by coming up here and switching off document generation here.

02:36

and we also have the account level setting.

02:39

If so if you are like, no, I don't want this at all, or I don't want this by default at least then, you can go to your preferences and you can switch off document generation here.

02:51

you can still override that on an individual video if you want a, specific video to have that.

02:58

So, play around with the settings to find what makes sense for you and let me know what you think.
