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.

Keep using the existing expense form, and attach an itemized receipt. Your manager reviews each submission, as before. Only the submission deadline changes.

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?

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.

  2. 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.
