Steps

1. Check Your AI Access

   Go to your Plans page while logged in to confirm your current plan. Create, Collaborate, and Scale include Zight AI based on plan limits. If you are on Share, upgrade to a paid plan to use AI features. Trial users may also see AI during their trial.

2. Head to Your Settings

   In the Zight dashboard, go to Settings → Zight AI to access your AI panel.

   

3. Customize AI Features

   Enable or disable features such as Titles, Summaries, and Chapters. Click Update AI Preferences to save. These settings apply only to future videos.

4. Record a Video

   Record your screen or camera as usual. Zight AI will automatically generate transcripts, titles, summaries, and optional Smart Actions once your video is uploaded.

5. Use Smart Actions

   Click the Smart Actions tab on a processed video to generate a Step-by-Step Guide, FAQ, Bug Report, or SOP. Create includes 5 Smart Actions per month. Collaborate and Scale include broader Smart Actions access based on current plan limits. Export results into Confluence, Jira, Notion, or Zendesk.

   

6. Access and Adjust AI Settings

   If you don’t want a feature enabled, open AI Settings and toggle it off. You can also adjust chapter generation and summary preferences here.

   

Use the To-Do checklist

After a supported Smart Action runs, Zight AI can create a To-Do checklist from the recording.

• Select a timestamp to jump to the moment the action was discussed.
• If you own the video, check an item when it is complete. Other viewers can read the checklist but cannot change it.
• Use the action menu on a row to Create ticket, Copy to clipboard, or Send via email.

Create ticket requires premium integrations and an enabled Jira integration. Copy to clipboard copies the to-do text so you can paste it into another tool. Send via email opens your default email app with the to-do and Zight link; Zight does not send the message for you.

If checklist generation fails, run the Smart Action again from AI Actions. If Zight AI does not find an actionable follow-up, the checklist may be empty.

Tips & Best Practices

• Keep audio clear for the most accurate transcriptions.
• Review summaries before sharing to ensure accuracy.
• Enable Smart Actions for repetitive documentation workflows.
• Use chapters and searchable content to improve video navigation.
• Export outputs into your existing team tools instead of rewriting manually.

Troubleshooting

• Can’t see AI features → Make sure your plan includes AI access and that you have not reached your current plan limits.
• Transcript has errors → Re-record with clearer audio.
• Title doesn’t fit → Manually edit the title in AI settings.
• Summaries missing → Wait until processing completes, then refresh.
