The short version

What a SaaS tutorial video is

A SaaS tutorial video is a short, step-by-step clip that walks a user through one workflow or feature inside a software product. SaaS teams create them for onboarding new users, training staff on a role-specific module, and building self-serve help libraries. The prompts below are real requests ngram received, PII-removed and lightly standardized. Copy any one, fill in your product details, and generate.

urlscreen-recording60s
prompt

Create an onboarding video for a proposal management SaaS. I'm uploading our script, logo, and brand assets. Audience: new clients who are professionals, not technical. Use the assets to keep it on-brand throughout. Aim for 60-90 seconds.

youtubescreenshotswalkthrough

url60smotion-graphics

url30sminimalist
prompt

Make a 30-second training tutorial showing how to add a new lead record in CRM software. Keep it focused on just that one action: find the leads section, click new, fill the required fields, save. Use the product URL for screens. Clear voiceover.

Anatomy

Anatomy of a standout tutorial prompt

Role-specific onboarding explainer
prompt

Create a 60-second onboarding explainer for a logistics coordinator role in an event production management platform. Cover the three modules this role uses daily: schedule management, vendor contacts, and run-of-show. Use the product URL for screens. Tone: calm and instructional.

01

Inputs

One product URL. No screen recording needed — the product URL gives ngram the screens it needs to build each step.

02

Structure

Role scoping first (logistics coordinator), then three named modules. The numbered structure tells ngram exactly what order to follow.

03

Tone

'Calm and instructional' sets the pace — not urgent, not flashy. Exactly what new staff need when learning a tool for the first time.

04

Constraint

Sixty seconds keeps the video short enough to rewatch. Tutorial prompts that specify a runtime get tighter output than open-ended ones.

Why it works

It gives ngram a job (onboard this role), a scope (three specific modules), a source (the product URL), and a tone. Nothing is left to guess. The result is a video an HR manager can hand to a new hire on day one.

Playbook

What makes a good SaaS tutorial video

Scope to one role or one task

The clearest tutorials cover one thing: one role's daily workflow, or one specific action. When a video tries to cover the whole product, it covers nothing.

Pass a URL or recording

92% of tutorial prompts in this cluster include a URL or screen recording. Real product screens make the tutorial credible and save time on asset gathering.

Label steps on screen

Step labels (Step 1, Step 2) help learners follow along without rewinding. Ask ngram to number each action in the narration and on-screen text.

Match the audience's technical level

A tutorial for a non-technical sales rep needs different language than one for a developer. State who's watching in the prompt.

Keep it rewatchable

Sixty seconds or under performs best for single-action tutorials. Longer formats work for end-to-end workflows, but chunk them into named sections.

Specify a tone

Calm and instructional is not the same as warm and encouraging, which is not the same as fast and direct. Pick one and say it in the prompt.
