The steps
STEP 1 · ChatGPT
Turn the article into a script
What to do
Paste your help article and ask for a 2-minute script: one line per step, plain words, a one-line recap at the end.
Plan note: Free plan for everyone. (per its official pricing page; check before you buy).
For the one step people get stuck on, record a short screen clip in Loom and add it in.
Plan note: Starter is a free plan with no end date; storage is capped at 25 videos and screenshots and recordings at 5 minutes. (per its official pricing page; check before you buy).
Tip
Loom's free Starter plan caps recordings at 5 minutes.
Add the video link to your saved replies in Tidio, so the chat sends it when people ask that question.
Plan note: Tidio says a 7-day free trial needs no card, and accounts drop to the Free plan afterwards unless you upgrade. (per its official pricing page; check before you buy).
Tip
Track which questions come up most, and make those videos first.
