How do I use a video with Heptabase AI chat?

Updated this week

Before you start

  1. Add your video to the card library to create a video card.

  2. Generate a transcript for that video card.

    • The AI uses the transcript as context (it doesn’t read the raw video).

Start a chat with a video card

  • From a whiteboard: Right-click the video card and choose New chat / Add to chat (top option).

  • From Chat: Click the + button at the top-left and select the video card you want, or @mention that video card directly.

Not supported yet

  • Mentioning a card does not make the AI read any videos embedded inside that card.

  • You can’t insert or embed a standalone video in a chat and have the AI read it as context.
