Try example prompts

"We built the knowledge base. Nobody reads it. Now they're churning."

“

Your product solves a real problem.
But new users can't figure out how to get started.

They sign up, poke around for a few minutes, hit a wall, and leave.
Maybe they open a support ticket.
Probably they just disappear.
You built a knowledge base with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
Nobody reads past the first paragraph.

75% of users churn in week one with poor onboarding

$1,500-$3,500 per professionally produced onboarding video

2-4 weeks typical production turnaround

Outdated immediately every time your UI changes

Every confused user who churns in week one is revenue you already paid to acquire.

From "I'll figure it out later" to "I got this" in their first session

The Old Way

Before ngram

  • A new user signs up Tuesday morning. They click around, can't find where to start, open your help center, skim a 1,200-word article with 14 screenshots, get confused, close the tab.
  • Two days later your automated email asks if they need help. They don't reply. They're already evaluating your competitor.
  • Your customer success team only hears about it when they see the cancellation. By then it's too late.
The ngram Way

After ngram

  • Same user signs up. Before they even get confused, a 90-second video shows them exactly how to complete their first task. Smart zooms highlight where to click. Captions let them follow along on mute.
  • They finish the workflow in their first session. They feel competent. They come back tomorrow.
  • A week later, they upgrade. Your CS team never had to intervene. The video did the work.

Or start from your help docs
