How to turn a ChatGPT conversation into a video

Kario Team · October 26, 2026 · 3 min read

Your ChatGPT chats about your work already hold what a video needs: what you're building, who it's for, the words you use for it. Share the chat with Kario. Don't ask ChatGPT to write a prompt for it.

Make a video from a ChatGPT chat

  1. Pick the chat that's most about your work. It doesn't need to mention a video.

  2. Copy its share link. On the web, select Share at the top right of the chat.

    In the app, tap ⋯, then Share, then Share link, then Copy.

    In the ChatGPT app on iPhone: the conversation menu with Share, the Share link to chat sheet, then Copy in the share sheet

  3. Paste it into Kario with one line on what you want.

  4. Kario reads the whole chat and tells you what it took from it before it builds. Turn on Research in the chat box to approve a storyboard first.

In the video above, the chat is a founder asking ChatGPT who to sell Halo to first. Halo is a debit card we made up for the example. Kario took four things from it:

  • Halo is a debit card for freelancers.
  • They get paid by clients abroad.
  • The promise: zero FX fees, spend anywhere.
  • The line ChatGPT suggested: "Money without borders."

It made a 12-second launch video that leads with zero FX fees and ends on that line.

Why not ask ChatGPT to write the prompt?

We read a dozen ChatGPT-written briefs sent to Kario over the past six weeks, with names removed. Five problems came up again and again.

  • The timings don't fit the script. Three briefs asked for 30–35 seconds, 100 seconds and 90–100 seconds. Their scripts read in 36 seconds, 2 minutes 52, and 57 seconds. Kario records the voiceover first, so the brief's timecodes stop holding.
  • Every shot is spelled out, and that spends the budget. The briefs ran from 5 to 18 fully specified scenes. Several ran out partway: a 20-second ad stopped at 8 seconds, a 45-second launch at 9.
  • Words get taken literally. One brief said to "display" PARAMETER, DIAGNOSTICS and MAINTENANCE. Kario showed them as labels. The founder meant real manual pages and control screens.
  • It's written for a one-shot generator. "This is the FIRST AND ONLY GENERATION." Kario builds editable layers, and a first cut is meant to be changed.
  • It overrules what Kario knows. ChatGPT writes "IMPORTANT" and "EXACTLY" on everything, so a stock style note like "emoji-style icons" reads as your own requirement.

A chat has none of these problems. It carries the facts and your goals, and leaves the shots to Kario.

Before you share

  • Use a personal account. Links from ChatGPT Business, Enterprise and Edu only open inside your workspace (OpenAI). Paste the relevant part as text instead.
  • Share nothing private. Anyone with the link can read the chat.
  • Share again after new messages. A link is a snapshot. On the web, update the link. In the app, delete it and share again.
  • Upload files to Kario directly: logos, screenshots, footage.
  • Say what the chat doesn't: the length, the shape, music or voiceover, and any words that must not change.

Changing it afterwards

  • In Kario's chat, for changes across the video: pacing, colours, a new scene.
  • In the editor, for exact fixes: select a layer to retype it, move it or retime it.
