How we repurpose video content using AI

We produce a lot of videos. They serve many different purposes, such as marketing case studies or educational webinars, yet all have one thing in common—effort. If you’ve ever created video content for your clients, or even your own agency, then surely you can relate. Even the simplest video takes planning, coordination, and thoughtful execution if you want it to become something that your audience will actually enjoy watching.


This effort is an investment, and your investments should pay dividends. In other words, your videos deserve a second life.


The value of repurposing content


Consider all of the channels your agency creates content for. At Duda, we produce organic content for social media, video streaming services, emails, and our own website alongside paid advertising, long-form PDFs, and more. With so many different formats across so many unique channels, we’d need to create a ton of content if we wanted it all to be unique.


Instead, we often repurpose our content. Long-form eBooks, for example, can be divided into multiple blog posts, which can be further distilled into even more concise social media posts. We can then share this content on our website, gate it behind PPC ads, include it in an email newsletter, or share it via social media. This strategy applies to video as well.


We recently published a blog post titled “Mastering Multi-Product Strategies For Vertical SaaS,” which was repurposed from our SaaS-oriented panel discussion, “How to Build a Winning Multi-Product Strategy & Conquer Your Niche.” By presenting this video in a different medium, in this case text, we’re making valuable information more accessible to a much wider audience.


However, adapting an article from a video is much more work than adapting an article from an eBook. The author will need to watch the video, take notes, then write this new piece entirely from scratch. Sure, they’ve dodged the research and ideation phase of writing an article, but this process still takes quite a bit of time.


Thankfully, that’s where AI can help.


Transforming video content with AI


Artificial intelligence tools, like Bard or ChatGPT, can dramatically simplify the process of repurposing video content. All you need is a script (or transcript) and the following prompt:


AI prompt
Act as if you are an expert copywriter with years of experience creating article adaptations of video content. Given the following video transcript, please write an article adaptation discussing the video. The length of the article should be no longer than [number] words and should not include references to small talk, music, noises, or any other ancillary attributes of the video. Thank you! The following is the video's transcript:


Let’s break down what’s happening here. If you’ve already seen our article on AI Prompts for Agencies then you may already know that, according to experts at Harvard, starting with the phrase “Act as if…” often improves the quality of a prompt’s output. That’s because AI tools perform better when you’re specific and explicit in your prompting. 


With a role defined, we then limit the length of our article, focus the content, then paste our script/transcript. Depending on the length of your video, this may require multiple prompts or a subscription to premium tools like ChatGPT Plus.


Here’s an example of the prompt in action. We recently interviewed Ruan from Develomark to discuss how his agency is using Duda to grow. Since this was an interview, there isn’t a script available to feed into our prompt. Instead, we chose to use the generated transcript that YouTube provides.

You can find this transcript by clicking on the description of the video, scrolling down, then selecting “Show Transcript.” From there, the transcript can be copied and pasted into your prompt. Keep in mind that these transcripts are not perfect. This example had misspelled Ruan’s name as well as the name of his agency. Correcting these errors before running the prompt is essential. If your video has a script, that’s even better.


You can see how ChatGPT responded as well as how Bard responded to this prompt via these shared chat logs. While I personally prefer ChatGPT’s response, Bard provided multiple drafts out of the gate to choose from. Both tools were equally effective.


It’s important to edit and review any article you generate with AI for accuracy, especially when the article discusses real people like this example does. Discussing real people is a very easy way to induce hallucinations.


That’s it! This is an easy, time-saving way to breathe new life into your existing video content. We used this exact strategy, to great success, in our blog article, “Strategies For Robust Agency Revenue Growth In The Digital Age.” This particular article is a great example of how this prompt can scale to work with much larger videos—in this case an hour webinar.

Learn how platform ecosystems drive revenue and why they are essential for the growth of SaaS businesses.

One of the greatest challenges for SaaS platforms is keeping users engaged long-term. The term “stickiness” refers to a product's ability to retain users and make them want to return. In the context of SaaS platforms, creating a sticky product means that users consistently find value, experience seamless interactions, and continue using the product over time. The following are 7 practical strategies you can take to improve the stickiness of your SaaS solution. 1. Offer websites that help customers build their digital presence One of the most effective ways to make your SaaS platform sticky is by offering websites to your users. Many businesses today need an online presence, and by providing a platform where your customers can easily build and manage their websites, you increase their reliance on your product. When you offer users a website-building solution, you’re helping them create something foundational to their business. Websites, in this case, aren’t just a tool—they become a part of their identity and brand. This deepens their engagement with your platform, as they need your product to maintain and update their site, ultimately making them less likely to churn. Plus, websites naturally encourage frequent updates, content creation, and customer interactions, which means your users will return to your platform regularly. When you can give your users the tools to create something so essential to their business, you make them more dependent on your platform. This creates a higher barrier to exit, as migrating a fully built website to another service is no small task. In fact, websites are some of the stickiest products you can sell, so adding them to your product portfolio can be one of the best decisions you can to keep your customers using your technology for the long haul. 2. Deliver continuous value through product innovation The key to keeping users coming back to your SaaS platform is ensuring that they consistently see value in it. This means not only meeting their immediate needs but also evolving to address their growing demands. Constant product innovation is essential for keeping your users satisfied and invested in your platform. One way to achieve this is through regular updates that add new features or improvements based on user feedback. A SaaS platform that evolves with its users will keep them engaged longer, making it harder for competitors to steal their attention. Encourage user feedback and prioritize updates that create tangible improvements. This creates an ongoing relationship with your users, which boosts stickiness. 3. Offer a multi-product solution Another powerful way to increase your platform’s stickiness is by offering a suite of products or features that integrate well together. When your users adopt multiple products, they are more likely to stay because they become embedded in your ecosystem. The benefits of this strategy are clear. Research shows that once users adopt more than one product, especially when they integrate >4 tools into their workflow, their likelihood of churn decreases significantly. This happens because the more a user integrates into your suite of products, the harder it is for them to switch to a competitor. These users have invested time in learning your ecosystem and rely on it for their day-to-day operations, making it much harder for them to make the switch. 4. Create a personal connection with your users Human connection is one of the most powerful drivers of user retention. People don’t want to feel like they’re using a cold, faceless platform. By offering exceptional customer support, personalized communication, and community engagement, you build a relationship with your users that goes beyond the product itself. Make sure your support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and empathetic. You can also consider offering tailored onboarding experiences to ensure users understand how to make the most of your platform. When users feel like their success matters to you, they are more likely to remain loyal. 5. Leverage data to personalize the user experience Using data to drive personalization is another strategy that can significantly increase the stickiness of your platform. By tracking user behavior and usage patterns, you can tailor the experience to each individual user’s needs. This could mean recommending features they haven’t yet explored or sending them reminders about tools they may not be fully utilizing. Personalization gives users the feeling that the platform was designed specifically for them, making it harder to walk away from. By demonstrating that you understand their unique needs, you can build a stronger connection and ultimately increase retention rates. 6. Focus on seamless integrations and API capabilities To further increase stickiness, consider expanding your product’s ability to integrate with other tools your users already rely on. Whether it’s email marketing software, CRM systems, or social media management tools, seamless integrations add tremendous value by making it easier for users to incorporate your platform into their existing workflows. The more your product can work in tandem with other popular tools, the more indispensable it becomes. In fact, users who depend on integrations are less likely to churn since their entire ecosystem is tied to your platform’s functionality. 7. Encourage user advocacy and community building User advocacy is another powerful tool in building a sticky product. When users feel a sense of community or even ownership over the platform, they become your most passionate promoters. Encourage your users to share their success stories, join community forums, or contribute to product development through beta testing or feedback loops. A thriving user community not only increases user engagement but also creates a sense of loyalty. When users are part of something larger than themselves, they are more likely to remain committed to your platform, reducing churn and increasing lifetime value. Create deep, lasting customer relationships Making your SaaS platform sticky is all about creating a deep, lasting connection with your users. This requires building a platform that continuously delivers value, creating a seamless and personalized experience, and integrating features that keep users coming back. By focusing on product innovation, offering a multi-product ecosystem, and fostering strong user relationships, you’ll be well on your way to reducing churn and boosting user retention. Stickiness isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential for long-term success. Focus on creating a platform that users can’t imagine living without, and you’ll see them stick around for the long haul.

Your team is likely pretty familiar with the products they built, but what about the ones they didn’t? Integrated tools can throw a wrench into your support operations, but they don’t have to.
