Documentation

Sends the Dadan bot to join a live meeting from its link — Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or GoTo — and records it into your library. Each recording draws on your account's meeting allowance.

Try "My Zoom is starting — join and record it: https://zoom.us/j/123456789"

Shows how much of your meeting-recording allowance you've used this period — minutes used, your total, what's left, and when it resets.

Try "How many meeting-recording minutes do I have left this month?"

For a recorded meeting, breaks down who spoke and for how long, with each person's share of the talk time in percent and seconds.

Try "Who did most of the talking in yesterday's client call?"

Lists the calendar providers you've connected for automatic recording — Google or Microsoft/Outlook — and flags any that need reconnecting.

Try "Which of my calendars are connected for auto-recording?"

Shows the upcoming meetings on a connected calendar, each with its title, start time, and join link. You'll need a calendar linked first.

Try "What meetings do I have coming up tomorrow?"

Searches a workspace across titles, descriptions, tags, and transcript text, newest first and paginated. Leave the query empty to list everything.

Try "Find my videos that mention the pricing update"

Pulls the full details for one video — title, description, tags, length, status, share link, thumbnail, privacy, view count, and whether it has a transcript yet.

Try "Show me the details for my onboarding walkthrough"

Lists the folders in a workspace with a video count for each. Their ids let you narrow a search to a single folder.

Try "What folders do I have, and how many videos are in each?"

Lists the workspaces you belong to, including your default. Usually the first step when another action needs to know which workspace to work in.

Try "Which workspaces do I have access to?"

Starts transcribing a video in the language you choose. This is the first step after uploading, since summaries, tags, titles, and translations all build on the transcript.

Try "Transcribe my product demo in English"

Returns the timestamped transcript, with speaker labels where available — best for quoting or close analysis. Long transcripts come back in pages.

Try "Pull the full transcript of my keynote so I can quote from it"

Generates a fresh AI summary of a video in markdown. It's created on the spot rather than stored, uses one AI credit, and needs a transcript first.

Try "Give me a short summary of this training video"

Turns a transcript into structured meeting notes using a Note-Taker template, returned as markdown. Uses one AI credit and needs a transcript first.

Try "Write up meeting notes from this recorded standup"

Returns the AI-generated chapter list with start and end times — a quick way to navigate a long recording.

Try "Break this hour-long webinar into chapters"

Uses AI to write a title, description, and tags from the transcript and applies them to the video. Needs a transcript first.

Try "Come up with a title, description, and tags for this video"

Lists the languages a transcript can be translated into, each with its code and name.

Try "What languages can I translate this video into?"

Translates a video's transcript into another language and produces captions from it. This runs in the background, is plan-gated, uses AI credits, and needs a transcript first.

Try "Add Spanish captions to my welcome video"

Lists the languages a video already has captions for, including its original language.

Try "Which languages does this video already have captions in?"

Returns the translated caption text for one language, as timestamped segments.

Try "Show me the French captions for this video"

Removes one language's translation. Your original transcript stays untouched.

Try "Remove the German captions from this video"

Keeps one time range or several and cuts everything else, with times given in seconds.

Try "Trim my recording down to just the 2 to 5 minute stretch"

Reframes a video to a social aspect ratio — for example vertical 9:16 for Shorts, Reels, or TikTok. Many ratios are supported.

Try "Make a vertical version of this for TikTok"

Adds a text overlay — a title card, lower-third, end slate, or call-to-action — with timing in seconds and optional styling.

Try "Put a title card reading 'Q3 Recap' on the first five seconds"

Overlays a logo, sticker, or image from a public image URL. You can set its corner or center position, scale, opacity, and time window.

Try "Add my logo to the bottom-right corner of this video"

Blurs one or more regions to hide things like emails, faces, or sensitive on-screen details. Regions are given in canvas pixels, with an optional time window.

Try "Blur the top-right corner from 0:10 to 0:30 — an email shows there"

Adds a punch-in or Ken Burns zoom, set by a magnification above 1, a focus point in canvas pixels, and a time window.

Try "Add a punch-in zoom around the one-minute mark"

Mutes, ducks, or sets the level of the video's own audio over specific windows — without adding any music.

Try "Mute the first ten seconds of this clip"

Mixes a soundtrack over a video from a public audio URL. You set the music level and can optionally mute or duck the original audio.

Try "Add soft background music under this intro"

Combines clips from one or more videos into a single video — played back to back, as picture-in-picture overlays, or both.

Try "Stitch my intro clip and my demo clip into one video"

Uploads a video into your library from a public, direct video URL and hands back the Dadan share link.

Try "Upload the video at this link into my library"

Opens the inline upload widget — in apps that support it — so you can pick a file from your own device. The file uploads straight from your browser to Dadan.

Try "I want to upload a video file from my laptop"

Updates a video's title, description, or tags. Only the fields you mention change.

Try "Rename this video to 'March All-Hands' and add the tag internal"

Sets or replaces the chapter markers on a video, each with a title and a start time. This one is plan-gated.

Try "Add chapters at 0:00 Intro, 2:30 Demo, and 8:00 Q&A"

Moves a video into a different folder or library.

Try "Move this video into my Marketing folder"

Duplicates a video within the same library — handy for making a variant before you edit. You get back the copy's id.

Lists the interactions already on a video, each with its id, type, timestamp, and prompt.

Try "What interactions are on my demo video?"

Returns how viewers answered a video's polls, quizzes, and forms — question, answer, and who responded when that's known — newest first.

Try "What did people answer on my feedback poll?"

Lists the leads captured through in-video lead forms — name, email, source video, and any extra fields — newest first. You can also narrow it to one video.

Try "Show me the leads that came in through my pricing video"

Creates a "request a recording" link you can send someone. Whatever they record lands straight in your library.

Pulls a workspace-level dashboard for one metric, such as KPIs, top videos, views over time, geography, or conversions.
