Guidelines

Prompt guidelines for Bingeable

Write one clear sentence and Bingeable performs the workflow in your live product, narrates every step, and renders a polished tutorial. These guidelines cover generation prompts and edit prompts so you get great results on the first try.

What Bingeable prompts do

Bingeable is built for product tutorials — not generic marketing videos. You describe a workflow in plain English; Bingeable opens your app in a real cloud browser, performs the steps, writes narration, and renders a finished video you can edit, translate, and publish.

The best prompts name a single outcome: invite a teammate, connect Stripe, create a campaign, update a setting. Think task, not topic.

Tip · One sentence is enough

You do not need a script, storyboard, or shot list. A focused workflow description is the whole brief.

The golden rule

One workflow, one outcome. If you need two unrelated tasks, run two prompts in separate chats.

  • Name the task: “create a task”, “connect Stripe”, “add an event type”.
  • Say who it is for when it matters: “Walk a new user through…” or “Show an admin how to…”.
  • Describe the finish line: what should the viewer see or have accomplished at the end?

Do

Show how to invite a teammate and set their permissions.

Don't

Make a video about our product's benefits and why customers love us.

What to include in a generation prompt

More detail helps when your project scan is thin or the flow has branching UI. You never need a paragraph — just add the specifics that disambiguate the path.

  • Starting point — sidebar, Settings, dashboard, or a named page.
  • Exact menu, tab, or button labels when your product uses non-obvious names.
  • End state — what success looks like on screen.
  • Audience level — “for a new user” vs “for an admin”.
  • Negative constraints — “don't click Schedule Later”, “explain the contact list but don't select one”.
  • Exact values in quotes when they matter — e.g. campaign name “Welcome series”.

Strong prompt templates

Copy a pattern and swap in your product's workflow:

  • Show how to [complete a specific task].
  • Walk a new user through [connecting / setting up / configuring] [feature].
  • Create a tutorial on how to [action] in [area of the product].
  • Record a demo showing how to [outcome] from [starting screen].
  • Explain how to [multi-step outcome] end to end.

Real generation examples

These are real prompts that produced finished tutorial videos. Each one names a single workflow inside a live product.

Details that improve outcomes

Bingeable's planner uses your wording to choose the right path through complex UI. These details consistently produce cleaner recordings:

  • Mention picker steps before forms — e.g. “choose this option from the list, then fill the login form”.
  • Keep all fields in one form on a single step — “enter name, email, and role, then save”.
  • Use “pick any option” when the exact choice does not matter.
  • Call out explain-only moments — “show the schedule screen but don't click Confirm”.

Tip · Quoted strings

Put exact labels or values in quotes when the UI text must match — Bingeable will preserve them in the plan.

Before you prompt

Your project needs a completed app scan before the first tutorial in a chat. The scan gives Bingeable a map of your screens so it can plan a realistic path.

If your prompt is very short and the scan found few pages, Bingeable may ask you to clarify: where to start, which buttons to use, and what the finished screen should look like. Adding those three details usually unlocks planning immediately.

Tip · Use Plan mode

Switch to Plan mode in the composer to review the step outline before recording. Helpful for complex or high-stakes flows.

What to avoid

Bingeable records workflows inside your connected product — not general explainers about other brands or marketing overviews.

  • “Create a video about [consumer product] benefits” — off scope.
  • “Make a product launch video for our brand” — use a workflow prompt instead.
  • External URLs unrelated to your project — stay inside your app's flows.

Don't · Weak

Create a video talking about iPhone features.

Do · Better rewrite

Show how to connect a device in Settings and complete the pairing flow.

How editing works

After a video renders, stay in the same chat and describe what should change in plain English. Bingeable drafts patches — narration, captions, callouts, zoom, timing, translations — and shows a preview before you click Render changes.

Select a specific step in the timeline to scope an edit: “Edit ‘Connect Stripe’ — clearer narration on this step.”

Edit prompt categories

Most edits fall into these buckets:

  • Narration & tone — script wording, friendlier voice, fix a phrase.
  • Captions — shorter subtitles, clearer on-screen text.
  • Callouts & focus — highlight a button, zoom on the important click.
  • Pacing — shorter intro, remove dead time, faster overall.
  • Translation — whole video in another language (15 languages supported).
  • Hide a step — remove a step from the final cut without re-recording the whole flow.

Edit prompt examples

Copy, paste, and tweak after your video renders:

Edit

Make the intro shorter and remove dead time.

Pacing

Edit

Translate the whole video to Spanish.

Translation

Edit

Add a callout to highlight the important element.

Callout

Edit

Add focus zoom on the important action in this frame.

Focus

Edit

Add a short caption that explains this moment.

Caption

Edit

Make the tone more friendly for beginners.

Narration

Edit

Edit "Connect Stripe" — clearer narration on this step.

Step-scoped edit

Edit vs new tutorial

Stay in the same chat when you are refining the current video — translate it, tighten pacing, fix narration, add callouts.

Start a new chat when you want a completely different workflow. Prompts like “create a video about…” or “switch to showing how to…” belong in a fresh chat so Bingeable plans a new recording from scratch.

When re-recording is needed

Some instructions change the underlying browser recording, not just the edit layer. Bingeable will re-record when you ask to:

  • Add, remove, or reorder steps in the live workflow.
  • Click a different path through the product.
  • Hide a step that changes what was captured (depending on the edit).

Tip · Set expectations

Script, caption, callout, zoom, and translation edits usually apply without a full re-record. Navigation changes do not.
