An illustrative employee policy change for a fictional company, created through Claude. The video explains which expense date determines the 30-day or 14-day receipt deadline, then shows the submission action and contact for questions.
Prompt
Use the connected ngram tools to prepare an employee policy-change explainer for the fictional company Cedar Desk. This is an illustrative sample. Keep “Sample policy update” visible throughout. Approved sample policy source: - Topic: submitting reimbursable business expenses. - Audience: all Cedar Desk employees submitting business expenses. - Effective date: November 15, 2026. - For expenses incurred before November 15, submit receipts within 30 calendar days of the expense date. - For expenses incurred on or after November 15, submit receipts within 14 calendar days of the expense date. - Use the existing expense form and attach an itemized receipt. The expense-date rule determines which deadline applies. - The manager reviews the submission. This sample update changes only the submission deadline. - Action: check the date of each expense and submit any outstanding receipts within the applicable deadline. - Questions: contact the People Operations team through the company's existing internal support channel. Create a 45-second, 16:9 Editorial video with English narration. Use a date divider and two clearly labeled deadline cards. Show “Before Nov 15: 30 calendar days” and “From Nov 15: 14 calendar days”. Keep the effective date readable. Use simple icons rather than an invented software screen. Keep the narration under 100 words, grounded in the supplied policy. End with the receipt-submission action and People Operations contact instruction. Show the selected settings and total estimate before creation. After I confirm creation, stop for plan review. Bring back the narration and scene plan so I can check the scope, effective date, deadlines and employee action. Wait for plan approval before production. Follow the same video to completion in this conversation and return its preview, ngram project link and MP4 export. If the ngram connector is not connected, read https://www.ngram.com/markdown/docs/connect-ngram-to-claude.md?view=1 and help me connect ngram to Claude. Wait for me to complete sign-in and approve access, then resume this workflow.

Editorial
Read the video transcript
Cedar Desk is updating the submission deadline for business expenses, effective November fifteenth, 2026. The expense date determines which deadline applies. For expenses incurred before November fifteenth, submit receipts within thirty calendar days of the expense date. On or after November fifteenth, it’s fourteen calendar days. Keep using the existing expense form, and attach an itemized receipt. Your manager reviews each submission, as before. Only the submission deadline changes. Check the date of each expense, and submit any outstanding receipts within the applicable deadline. Questions? Contact the People Operations team through the company’s existing internal support channel.

An approved policy change and effective date
Create in
Claude
Make
A narrated employee explainer
Supply the approved policy change
Open a Claude conversation with ngram enabled. Paste the workflow request and supply the policy source. Identify the affected employees, the effective date, the rules before and after it, and the action they should take.
Check the rule and date in the plan
Review the prepared settings and confirm creation with plan review. Compare the narration and scenes with the approved source. Check which date determines the applicable rule and verify every deadline before approving production.
Review the employee explanation
Ask Claude for progress on the same video and open the completed preview. Check that the date divider, deadline cards and spoken instructions agree. Request a correction in the existing project when a rule is unclear.
Deliver with the written policy
Review the final video and choose an appropriate sharing or export option. Distribute it through your existing employee communication channel alongside the written policy and contact for questions.

Read the walkthrough transcript
A fictional company’s expense-policy source is supplied to Claude. The Editorial style and a 45-second request are selected with plan review. The narration and scene plan are checked against the effective date, expense-date rule, receipt deadlines and employee action. The same video is approved for production. The final handoff supplies the 1080p MP4 and ngram project link. The complete 45-second explanation plays with this narration. Cedar Desk is updating the submission deadline for business expenses, effective November fifteenth, 2026. The expense date determines which deadline applies. For expenses incurred before November fifteenth, submit receipts within thirty calendar days of the expense date. On or after November fifteenth, it’s fourteen calendar days. Keep using the existing expense form, and attach an itemized receipt. Your manager reviews each submission, as before. Only the submission deadline changes. Check the date of each expense, and submit any outstanding receipts within the applicable deadline. Questions? Contact the People Operations team through the company’s existing internal support channel.
Your starting point
Start with the prompt.
Paste the policy into Claude and check how ngram explains the effective date and required employee action.
Review. Then deliver.
Claude returns the completed explainer and its ngram project. Check the rules, dates and final employee action before distribution.
While your video is being made
Ask Claude for the current policy video’s status and review any pending plan or clarification.
Share a link
Choose the appropriate visibility in ngram before distributing a viewing link to employees. Include the approved written policy and the contact for questions.
Download the video
Ask Claude to prepare an MP4 and choose an export option available to your ngram account. Download in the ngram project requires an eligible paid plan. Check the saved file before uploading or sending it.
If the workflow needs attention
Ask Claude to check the existing video and explain the reported problem. Preserve its ID and project link when continuing.
- The video applies a deadline to the wrong date
- Quote the exact effective-date rule and explain whether it uses the expense date, submission date or another source-defined date. Correct the narration and visible labels in the same video.
- The explanation adds an unsupported rule
- Identify the extra requirement and provide the approved wording. Ask for that correction and review the affected scene before distribution.
- The policy is updated again
- Supply the newly approved source and effective date. Ask Claude to revise the affected explanation, then review the whole video for superseded dates or instructions.
Keep the workflow. Change the story.
- 01
Reuse the review structure
For the next policy change, replace the audience, rule, effective date, required action and contact together. Review the new plan against that source.
- 02
Use employee questions in the next explanation
Collect recurring questions through your normal internal process. Supply reviewed answers when asking for a follow-up explanation.
