Best practices for high-performing AI explainers
Creators, marketers, and startup teams tend to see the best results when they:
Write for speaking, not reading
Short sentences, conversational phrasing, and clear transitions. Aim for 120–160 words per minute of video.Lead with the problem and outcome
Open with what changes for the viewer, not with your product name.Use consistent visual language
Reuse similar prompts so your explainers share a recognizable look and feel across campaigns.Keep each video tightly scoped
One job per video: feature, workflow, or use case. Make multiple focused explainers instead of one overloaded overview.Test variants quickly
Generate multiple versions with small changes to hooks, visuals, or length. Use performance data from ads, email, or social to decide what to keep scaling.
