What is howtovideos.ai?

howtovideos.ai is an AI how-to video maker from DigitalShyft, a marketing company in Scottsdale, Arizona. It turns one plain recording of a task into a finished, narrated, branded tutorial, with a written guide and an interactive demo made from the same capture. It runs on its own website, howtovideos.ai, in any browser.

It differs from a screen recorder, which leaves you a raw take to edit, and from a slideshow tool, which gives you screenshots and no voice. howtovideos.ai does the editing: it finds the key moments, writes the steps and script, voices it, zooms on every click, blurs sensitive data and adds your logo and colors, so the video is ready to publish.

It keeps its own name, howtovideos.ai, because the name says exactly what it does.

How does howtovideos.ai work?

STEP 1

Capture it any way

Upload a screen or phone recording, drop in screenshots or a PDF, record in your browser with nothing to install, or paste a link and let an AI agent click through the task for you.

STEP 2

AI does the editing

It finds the key moments, writes the steps and script, adds a natural voice, zooms on every click and blurs sensitive data. Change a word and only that line is re-voiced.

STEP 3

Your brand, every shape

Your logo, colors and fonts are pulled from your website onto every intro, outro, caption and share page, in wide, square and vertical from the same take.

STEP 4

Publish everywhere

Download the MP4s, share a hosted page, embed it, push it to your help desk or YouTube, or export the written guide, the interactive demo and the SCORM course.

What do you get with howtovideos.ai?

Paste a URL, get a tutorial

An AI agent opens your app, clicks through the task and records it. No extension and no second take. Recording from a URL comes with every video you buy.

Natural voice, or your own

Lock one house voice for every video, record yourself, clone your voice, or add an AI presenter who speaks your script.

Every format from one take

16:9 for YouTube and help centers, 1:1 and 9:16 for social media and phones, plus a written guide you can export as PDF or Word.

Translate and dub

Re-voice a whole video in another language and keep the timing, with translated captions and guides.

Sensitive data blurred

Emails, API keys and names are detected and hidden before anyone sees the video.

Interactive demos

Click-through demos from the same capture, with branching paths, forms, calls to action and lead capture into your CRM.

Training built in

AI-written quizzes, completion tracking and certificates, with SCORM or xAPI export for your LMS.

Built for teams and agencies

Roles, review and approval links, version history and client workspaces; SSO on Enterprise. Some features depend on your plan.

Who is howtovideos.ai for?

howtovideos.ai is built for two kinds of teams: software companies that need tutorials for their own product, and agencies that make them for clients.

Support and customer success

Answer a ticket with a finished how-to video in the time it takes to type a reply, and build a searchable help center from the same videos.

Onboarding and training

Bring new hires and customers up to speed with courses, quizzes and completion tracking, exported to your LMS as SCORM or xAPI.

Agencies and consultants

A workspace with its own brand kit and voice for each client, white-label sharing, and approval links clients can comment on without an account.

Frontline, IT and sales teams

Vertical videos for phones, fewer "how do I" tickets for the help desk, and interactive demos that sell on their own.

How much does howtovideos.ai cost?

You pay per video, with no subscription. Buy one at a time for $39, or save with a prepaid pack. Each video covers up to 3 finished minutes, and editing or re-rendering a video you have made is free while it stays within those minutes. See current prices on howtovideos.ai.
