By Trevor Pare

This guide shows you how to use the AI-assisted brief generator to automatically extract project requirements from a Loom video. By simply dictating your ideas and walking through visual examples out loud, you can instantly populate a detailed design brief without typing out lengthy requirements manually.

This workflow is ideal for project managers, marketers, and account coordinators kicking off new design requests. It is especially useful when you need to share complex visual examples or want to save time dictating a project instead of drafting a written document.

Q: What happens to the original video after the AI analyzes it?

A: The AI automatically includes a link to the primary Loom video in the brief description. This ensures your designers can still watch the original recording for full visual context.

Q: Do I still need to manually enter project details like sizes and formats?

A: No, the AI extracts key details like the brand, project categories, and format specifications directly from your dictation. However, you should review these fields and manually edit them if the AI missed anything.

Q: What if I have additional supporting images that weren't captured in the video?

A: You can easily drag and drop extra files or reference images into the "Files" section during the brief review stage before submitting.
