What is Hinto AI and how it works?

Hinto AI is a powerful platform designed to automate and accelerate the creation of user documentation. It transforms raw screen recordings of your product into structured, ready-to-use content, such as complete knowledge bases or individual help articles. This allows you to produce high-quality tutorials and guides with minimal effort.

The Core Workflow: From Video to Content

The process of creating content in Hinto AI follows a simple, logical flow from uploading your raw material to exporting the finished product. The main steps are:

1. Create a Project: Start by creating a project, which serves as a container for all the documentation related to a specific product or feature.
2. Upload a Screen Recording: Upload a video walkthrough of your product. This video is the source material the AI will analyze.
3. Generate a Knowledge Base Structure: Hinto AI analyzes the video's content and user actions to automatically create a logical structure for your knowledge base, including suggested article titles organized into sections.
4. Generate Article Content: For each title in the structure, you can generate a full article complete with text, steps, and images based on the video.
5. Review and Edit: Use the built-in editor to refine the generated text, add more details, and ensure everything is accurate.
6. Export: Once you're finished, export your content in various formats like HTML or Markdown to publish it on your help center or other platforms.

Creating Your Project and Knowledge Base

After signing in, your first step is to create a project from the main dashboard. A project acts as your central workspace. Once the project is created, you will be prompted to select a template to create your content.

• Knowledge base: Choose this to generate a full table of contents with multiple articles from a single video.
• Single Article: Choose this if you want to create one detailed article from your video.

After selecting a template, you'll upload your screen recording. Hinto AI will then analyze the video, which can take a few moments. When it's finished, you'll see a complete knowledge base structure, ready for you to start generating the content for each article.

Generating and Editing Content

With your knowledge base structure ready, you can click on any article title to view its generation options. Click the Generate button to create the full article content based on the original video. Hinto AI will write the text, extract steps, and pull relevant images.

Once generated, the article appears in a rich-text editor. Here, you can make any necessary edits, from correcting text to adding new content blocks like lists, headings, or additional images. When your edits are complete, click Save changes to update the article.

Tips for Using Hinto AI

• Use clear recordings: For the best results, use a clear, concise screen recording that focuses on a single workflow.
• Review the structure first: Before generating every article, review the AI-suggested table of contents. You can rename, delete, or reorganize articles and sections to better fit your needs.
• Experiment with templates: If an article isn't quite right, use the Regenerate option to try creating it with a different template (e.g., changing from a "How-To Guide" to a "Feature Overview").

Summary

Hinto AI revolutionizes the process of creating user documentation by transforming video screen recordings into structured, editable help content. This article provides an overview of the core workflow, from creating a project and uploading a video to generating a full knowledge base, editing individual articles, and exporting the final content for publication. By automating the most time-consuming parts of content creation, Hinto AI enables you to build comprehensive help centers quickly and efficiently.
