Clueso

Clueso

Clueso turns a rough screen recording into two finished things at once: a polished product video and a written step-by-step article. Clueso takes the raw capture, generates a script from it, replaces the mumbling with an AI voiceover or an avatar, adds zooms, captions and branded styling, and produces the documentation version of the same walkthrough alongside the video. It also imports presentations, PDFs and existing videos. The point is the ratio — one recording becoming both the tutorial and the help-centre article without editing either by hand.

Production credibility: Clueso is a Y Combinator company from the Winter 2023 batch and publishes pricing openly: a free tier with one user, ten minutes of video and fifteen articles a month at 1080p; Solo at $40 a month billed yearly with three hours of video a year and 2K exports; Business at $120 a month with two users, six hours of video, 4K exports, analytics and templates; and Enterprise with custom limits, voice cloning, SAML single sign-on and dedicated support. Export minutes are metered by the longest version of a video, so re-exports do not consume extra allowance.

Key Features

• Screen recording turned into a scripted, narrated product video
• Matching step-by-step written article generated from the same capture
• AI voiceovers and avatars in place of raw narration
• Zooms, captions, visual effects and branded templates
• Translation into other languages
• Imports from presentations, PDFs and existing video

Ideal Use Case

Product marketing, customer education and support teams that owe the world a tutorial for every release and never have time to edit one. It suits companies whose help centre and product-video backlog are the same backlog, and the free tier is enough to test whether the generated article is good enough to publish.

How Clueso differentiates

Guidde and Scribe generate step-by-step documentation; Synthesia and HeyGen generate polished video from a script. Clueso sits across both, producing the video and the article from a single screen recording, which is the specific workflow that otherwise needs two tools and a handoff. Against a full editor such as Descript it is less flexible and much faster. The limits to check are the metered video minutes, which are annual on the paid tiers rather than monthly.
