Hey Product Hunt! Loom has been unlocking the potential of video for work since 2016 (thanks to our first launch on Product Hunt that same year!). Millions of people already know Loom as a tool to avoid unnecessary meetings and move projects forward faster. Today I’m excited to share that we’re entering a new era: combining the ease of video messages with instant written documentation with new Loom AI workflows. What are Loom AI workflows? Instant video to text that allows you to start and finish common workflows with a Loom video 🀯 Here’s some popular ways to leverage these workflows: πŸ› Report a bug (with a direct connection to Jira!) β˜‘οΈ Document a process πŸŽ“ Create a how-to guide Simply hit record and watch as Loom AI turns your video transcript into a shareable doc, ticket, or message. We built these workflows with tech teams in mind; and it’s our hope that instantly producing a doc to go with your loom video will help you ship faster and give you time back to do what you love: building great products. Visit loom.com/ai to give Loom AI workflows a try and let us know what you think!

@vhmth Are there any data privacy concerns with Loom since it has been acquired by Atlassian?

@dermot_ai could you explain a bit more what you mean? Which data privacy concerns? Loom has always been a company and team that cares deeply about customer privacy and handles customer data with extreme care. Atlassian is a company that strongly aligns with this world view.
Dermot
@vhmth Sure! Atlassian has had some data breaches in the past (eg https://www.reuters.com/technolo...) I know a lot of people use Loom to record sensitive data! These AI tools are great as they organize and pull out information, which is a great utility until the data gets exposed by unwarranted attackers In transparency, I used to be a Loom power user! When I saw it was acquired by Atlassian I developed an Open Source, Privacy focused Loom alternative (you can see the launch on my acc) These AI tools you're building really do look great and its a problem a lot of people have shared with me (converting Loom to Doc). The biggest question is how are privacy and security concerns being addressed? Is user and company data safe?

@vhmth Hey Vinay - how does the Loom AI turn a Loom video into a Jira ticket? can you explain what happens behind the scenes? thank you!

hey @orliesaurus ! we use the video transcript to infer what it is you need to submit a ticket for. we have a direct connection to Jira that pulls in your workspace ticket fields, so you can populate the fields from your video share page. from there, hit "Create in Jira" -- and you'll find your ticket in the right place!

So cool to see this work ship πŸš€ Personal favorite is our AI Create an issue workflow. I was soooo skeptical it would change how I worked, but now I use it all the time to document bugs or design handoffs. For bug reporting the steps are simple: 1. Record the bug 2. Smash that "Create an issue" button 3. Loom AI will write the issue description and steps to reproduce 4. Add the issue to Jira or Linear in one-tap Hyped for y'all to check it out, send us any feedback :)

@sanchetio How does it create an issue? can it recognize what's on my desktop screen?

@orliesaurus Great question! We currently use the transcript to infer what the bug is about + the steps to reproduce. We are looking to add way more context to bug reports in the future to further help developers.

@sanchetio @orliesaurus what are you thinking o when you say "recognize what's on my desktop screen"? What kind of info on your screen migth be useful?
orliesaurus
@sanchetio @vhmth I might be biased but as a developer you need more than just voice to text transcription to recreate a bug. I have built a nice solution that also infers desktop data from the OS layer. Happy to chat if you wanna explore some ideas, hit me up on the X-verse!

I used the Write a Document workflow for step-by-step instructions of a process. No exaggeration, it saved me at least 30 minutes of formatting + writing up the steps. Can't wait to use it more!
Diamond Bishop
@sjustino curious to hear more about what the workflow was you captured to write a doc and did you get you add screenshots yourself after or do some other editing to bring in visual data or just use the text steps?
Stacy Justino
@diamondbishop the workflow was for closing out tickets in our support ticketing system which required setting the correct filters, sorting the list, selecting the tickets, then bulk editing them to include an internal note / tags + close them out. I recorded a Loom walking through those steps and narrated each step as I went through them. After the Loom was recorded, I clicked into the Edit panel and clicked on "Write a document" and used the Step-by-Step option. From there, I clicked on the Copy text button and pasted the generated text into Notion. The steps were pretty straightforward, so I just shared the Notion doc + the Loom itself with my team. So I just ended up using the text as steps, but if I wanted to add screenshots I'd like do one of the following: 1. While recording the Loom video, pause the recording whenever I wanted to take a screenshot. Then resume recording after I'd taken the screenshot. Then, I could embed those screenshots into the Notion document. 2. After recording, find the part of the Loom video showing the visual, and take a screenshot of that part of the Loom video.

I couldn't be more excited to share these features with Product Hunt! Our team has been working hard to streamline the work that we already use Loom for today like bug reports, how-to guides, and PR descriptions. Now these workflows should just be even faster πŸ˜‰ Give AI workflows a try on your next recording and let us know if you have any feedback or questions!

This was one of those magical moments when you come across a new feature for the first time. I was literally like, "fuck me, that's cool". Well done, Loom (+ Atlassian)!

I simply love it. Period! AI workflows save me so much time on a daily basis. However, I've noticed that the quality of the writing part varies for different languages. Do you plan to improve it?
Very nice, obvious addition to Loom. Love it! I wonder if this is going to kill those video-to-text AI transcribing startups that popped up a lot in the last two years.

@jgani thank you Jonni! Do you have any immediate use cases that resonate for video -> text/summarization?

Dope. The jira handshake is a natural next-step. Keep rocking

Congrats @vhmth @connor_waslo1 @granmoe and team! So fun to see this live. I've been a Loom AI user since day 1 and it's one of our favorite AI products. Excited to make more use of Workflows now, especially "Create an Issue". πŸ™Œ

Being a loom user for past 3 years. This is a much needed one. But didn't expect you'll launch this on the same day I launched mine πŸ˜… Congrats.

This is a great addition to loom for people who need to read to really absorb information. I love how Loom makes communicating quick and easy, but when I receive the videos I often find myself having to watch them multiple times before I'm fully onboard. Being able to read rather than watch will save me a lot of time!

@bethany_cutmore_scott we agree; everyone digests information differently! we hope that AI workflows will help workers get their message across in the clearest way possible.

Loom has been one of the most effective tools I've used at work for quite some time now - can't wait to reach greater new heights with this!

That's a great addition to the already existing ease of use of Loom!
Clinton Ngobe
Thats awesome, I have been using this AI feature for quite a bit now. I think it really added a lot of value to my work and saved me sometime. Which is helpful since I am using loom to record my courses.
