Setting Up Your First Project

Once your account is verified, you'll land on the Projects page. A project is a container for a specific knowledge base, like documentation for a particular product or feature. Let's create one now.

  1. Click the Create Your First Project button.
  2. Give your project a descriptive name. In the lesson, we use "NoteTaker" as an example.

Generating the Knowledge Base Structure

Hinto AI can generate a single article or an entire knowledge base structure from your video. For comprehensive documentation, starting with the Knowledge base option is recommended as it allows the AI to understand the broader context of your product.

  1. In the 'Select a template' pop-up, choose the Knowledge base option.
  2. Click the Upload button and select the product demo video from your computer.
  3. Hinto AI will now analyze your recording to create a structured table of contents. This may take a minute or more.

Reviewing and Generating Articles

After the analysis, Hinto AI presents a complete table of contents with suggested article titles organized into sections. You can review this structure and then generate the content for each article one by one.

  1. Once the process is complete, you'll see a pop-up that says 'Ready for Review'. Click View.
  2. Examine the generated article list on the left. You can rename or delete any suggestions as needed.
  3. Select the first article in the list. On the right, confirm the video and template are correct, then click Generate.
  4. While one article is generating, you can click on the next article in the list and start its generation process.

Now you try

Practice what you've learned by creating your own knowledge base from a short screen recording. You can record a simple process, like how to create a new folder on your desktop.

  1. If you haven't already, sign up for a Hinto AI account.
  2. Create a new project named "My First Test".
  3. Choose the Knowledge base option and upload your screen recording.
  4. Review the generated table of contents. Does it accurately reflect the steps in your video?
  5. Generate the first two articles from the list.

Summary

In this lesson, you learned the end-to-end process of turning a single product demo into a fully structured knowledge base. By creating a project, uploading a video, and letting Hinto AI generate the table of contents, you can rapidly build the foundation for your help documentation and then generate detailed articles with just a few clicks.
