Every marketing or product team knows the pain of documentation.
You’re asked to explain a workflow clearly.
You record your screen.
You annotate.
You edit.
You restart because something went wrong halfway.
That’s why tools like Clueso (or Cluesto).io have gained traction.
They make video generation easy by turning your workflows or processes into:
- Auto-generated walkthrough videos
- Visual documentation
- Step-by-step explainers
- Training clips
- Process tutorials
If you’re building onboarding assets, internal guides, product workflows, or simple demos, Clueso is incredibly convenient. It cuts hours of recording and editing into minutes.
But here’s the limitation most teams discover quickly:
Explaining workflows visually isn’t the same as creating content that actually drives traffic, ranks, educates, engages, and converts.
Clueso helps you show something.
Briefsmith helps you tell the story, build the strategy, and scale the content around it.
Let’s dig into what each tool does and why Briefsmith becomes the essential companion for content teams.
Where Clueso Shines (And Why Teams Use It)
Clueso is a specialist tool with a very specific superpower:
turning processes into clean, digestible videos.
Its key strengths include:
- Automated video generation
- Workflow capture
- Visual documentation
- Step-by-step instruction videos
- Easy training content creation
- Great for onboarding and product walkthroughs
For teams handling:
- Product demos
- User training
- Process documentation
- SOP creation
…Clueso dramatically improves speed and quality.
But here’s the catch:
Clueso stops once the video is made.
It doesn’t help with:
- Content strategy
- SEO direction
- Blog creation
- Long-form writing
- Repurposing across formats
- Narrative structure
- Internal linking
- Tone consistency
- Cross-channel distribution
- Scaling content systems
Clueso explains how something works.
Briefsmith explains why it matters, how it fits into a strategy, and how it becomes discoverable content.
Briefsmith: The Content Intelligence Engine That Powers Everything Beyond the Video
More and more teams are realizing that documentation videos are only one slice of the content ecosystem.
What about:
- The blog post explaining the workflow?
- The SEO brief guiding a strategic article?
- The repurposed LinkedIn carousel that summarizes it?
- The email copy that announces the updated workflow?
- The social posts introducing the new product steps?
- The long-form guide that links to the Clueso video?
- The narrated audio for accessibility?
That’s where Briefsmith becomes indispensable.
Briefsmith supports the entire content lifecycle, not just the documentation step.

Briefsmith
