How-to videos with chapters, recorded for you
ViralDub makes how-to videos of your web app. Describe one task, such as "create an invoice and download it as a PDF", or a whole course. A planner reads your app, proposes the chapters and shows the plan and the price before you pay. An AI agent then does each task in a real browser, signed in as each role you add, while the voice explains every step. You get the video, a written guide and a chapter list.
Key takeaways
- One task or a course: a course gets one chapter per task, and several logins get one chapter per role.
- The plan and the price come first, for free. Rename, remove or add chapters before you pay.
- Every click is highlighted and every step titled on screen.
- A written guide (PDF and HTML) with one outlined screenshot per step comes with the video.
- Included from the Starter plan; apps behind a login need Pro or Agency.
What you get
- The video. Each chapter opens with its title, each step shows its title, every click is highlighted and downloads appear on screen. When an instruction takes longer to say than the click took, the picture waits for the voice.
- The written guide. A PDF and an HTML page with a cover, contents, chapter headings and one outlined screenshot per step.
- The chapter list. Ready to paste into a YouTube description or a course page.
How it works
- 1
Describe the task or the course
"Onboarding: create a project, invite a teammate, set up notifications", or simply "a course for new volunteers". Give the app's address and a length.
- 2
Check the plan and the price
The planner proposes chapters, the sample values it will type and what done looks like. Tick what fits your length, or make it longer, and see the credits before you pay.
- 3
Add the logins
For apps behind a login (Pro and up), add one test account per role. Each login is tested off camera before anything is filmed or charged.
- 4
Filming, checked task by task
Each task is checked on its own. A missed task is filmed again; if it still can't be done, the rest is delivered, you're told which task and why, and you pay only for the length delivered.
| Plan | How-to videos | Longest how-to | Apps behind a login |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | No | None | No |
| Starter ($29/mo) | Yes | 10 min | No |
| Pro ($79/mo) | Yes | 30 min | Yes, one chapter per role |
| Agency ($249/mo) | Yes | 60 min | Yes, one chapter per role |
What it won't film
- A sign-in that needs a code sent by SMS or email, a CAPTCHA, or a login without a test account. These are turned down before any cost, with what to change.
- Real deletions: a task that deletes something first creates a sample item and deletes that.
- Real payments: a task that ends in a payment is filmed up to the payment screen.
Long tutorials, honestly
A long how-to is a course of chapters, not one long take, and the length you pick is an upper limit. What fills it is what there is to teach: an app with a dozen tasks gives a dozen chapters of a few minutes each, and you pay for the minutes delivered. For a single feature, a walkthrough of the app is often enough, and a finished how-to can become a promo cut for social.
Frequently asked questions
How long can a how-to video be?
Up to your plan's how-to limit: 10 min on Starter, 30 min on Pro and 60 min on Agency.
Can it record each role in my app?
Yes, on Pro and Agency. Add one login per role in the sign-in rows and each role gets its own chapter, filmed in the order you list them.
Is my login safe?
Logins are read by code, never by an AI model, tested off camera, kept out of logs and never spoken or shown. Use test accounts all the same.
What if the agent can't finish a task?
It films the task again. If it still fails, the video ends after the finished parts and you pay only for what was delivered; if the first chapter fails, nothing is charged.
Can the guide be in another language?
The video, the narration and the guide follow the language you pick, one of 22. See languages.
