The VideoDB jobs you can stop doing yourself
You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
Cleaning up product photos
Today
New stock arrives and every product needs a clean photo for the online shop. Cutting out backgrounds one by one in VideoDB swallows an evening.
With Flann
“Here are today’s photos of the new candles. Clean white backgrounds in VideoDB, please.”
Every photo goes through VideoDB, losing its background and gaining a centred product sized to match the rest of your shop. You see them side by side with the originals.
What you stop doing: Cutting out backgrounds by hand, photo after photo, is finished.
Writing product and service descriptions
Today
Each new product or treatment needs a description for the website. Starting from a blank box in VideoDB is the part that always gets put off.
With Flann
“Write descriptions in VideoDB for the three new teas, short and warm like the others.”
Drafts are written in VideoDB using the details you gave and the tone of the descriptions you already have, so the new ones sit comfortably next to the old. Reply with changes in plain words and Flann redrafts.
What you stop doing: Facing a blank text box for every new product is over.
