Commands
Talk to Marketing Video by mentioning @Agenteous in the agent's Slack channel. You can start a request with natural language; the agent asks for any missing details before it begins work. You can also build a video entirely in the app, without Slack: the Video space in The Marketing Workspace walks you through the same steps with buttons instead of messages.
Request a Video Script
@Agenteous write a 30-second video script for [client] promoting their new product launch, targeting small business owners, landscape format
The agent writes a hook, voice-over body, and call to action paced to the target duration. It includes a brief rationale explaining the structural choices for the audience. The script arrives as part of an approval card.
Request a Full Script and Storyboard
@Agenteous script and storyboard a 60-second video for [client] on [topic], vertical format for social
The agent produces the script first, then breaks it into shots. Each shot gets an image brief (concrete subject, setting, lighting, and framing), a motion direction, and the voice-over segment that runs during it. Marketing Designer receives the image briefs for each shot. The complete package arrives in one approval card.
Specify Audience and Objective
@Agenteous write a 45-second video script for [client] targeting mid-market HR managers, objective: drive demo sign-ups, 16:9
The more context you give, the tighter the output. Audience, objective, and aspect ratio are the most important inputs. Duration defaults to 30 seconds if not specified.
Request a Redraft
@Agenteous redraft the script with a softer hook, the opening feels too hard-sell
Post this in the same thread as the original. The agent revises and posts a new approval card.
Ask for a Different Shot Count
@Agenteous redo the storyboard with fewer shots, we want to keep it under 4 scenes
The agent redistributes the voice-over across the reduced shot count and updates the image briefs accordingly.
Build the Finished Video
@Agenteous turn the approved storyboard into the finished video
The agent generates a still for each shot, renders each still into a short clip, and assembles the clips into one video. You can add an AI voice-over track or keep it silent. The result passes a brand-review check before it is ready to publish. Most of this is easiest to drive in the Video space of The Marketing Workspace, where each step has its own button and you can preview every shot.
Publish the Video
@Agenteous publish the approved video
Once a video clears brand review and you approve it, it is ready to publish. You can also paste the public link into the app to mark the project complete after you upload to YouTube, Vimeo, or your hosting platform.
Approval Buttons
When Marketing Video has something for you to review, it posts an approval card in Slack and the same item appears in your Work Queue in the app. The buttons mean the same thing in both places, and acting in one clears the other:
- Approve: Accepts the work and lets the agent move to the next step (storyboard, render, or publishing).
- Edit: Opens a follow-up prompt where you describe what to change. The agent revises and posts a new card. In the app, you can also edit any line of the script or a shot inline.
- Redraft: Discards the current version and starts fresh from the original brief. Use this when the direction needs a full reset.
- Snooze: Sets the item aside for a while. It clears off your list and comes back on its own when its time is up.
- Skip: Dismisses the card without approving. The request is closed with no output forwarded.
If your agency has turned Slack off, every card still waits for you in the Work Queue, so nothing is lost.
