Velo vs Clueso
Both tools turn screen recordings into polished videos using AI. On the surface they look similar. But what they're built for, and who they're priced for, is very different.
Same starting point, different destinations
Both Velo and Clueso take raw screen recordings and use AI to clean them up. But Clueso is a documentation platform built for B2B software teams. And Velo is a video creation platform built for anyone who needs a polished video, from any source, for any purpose.
A product video and documentation tool for software teams
Clueso is built to create product demos for product, customer education, and L&D teams at B2B SaaS companies. One recording, two outputs: a polished video and a help doc.
✅ Screen recording via Chrome extension, or upload existing video
✅ Also converts: slide decks, PDFs, and images to video
✅ AI script rewrite - removes filler words, tightens language
✅ Studio-grade AI voiceovers from a library of voices
✅ Smart auto-zooms on key actions
✅ Auto-generates step-by-step articles and SOPs from the video
✅ One-click translation to 37+ languages (audio, captions, and docs)
✅ Brand kit: fonts, colors, logos, custom intros and outros
A video creation platform that works with anything you already have
Velo isn't limited to product teams or software walkthroughs. It's built for anyone who needs share-ready videos - sales pitches, training videos, YouTube tutorials, course content, demo videos, or anything else.
✅ 4 input types: screen record, upload any MP4, upload a PPT, or paste a URL
✅ Browser agent records workflows for you, completely hands-free
✅ AI writes the full script from scratch, not just cleans yours up
✅ Your voice cloned + your face cloned as a hyper-realistic AI avatar (VeloTwin)
✅ Editor: zooms, spotlight, backgrounds, music, intro cards, masking
✅ Brand kit baked into every video
✅ Built for sales, creators, educators, marketers, founders - not just product teams
4 ways to make a Velo
Clueso starts from a screen recording or a slide deck. Velo starts from whatever you have, and if you don't have anything yet, it records it for you.
Use the Chrome extension to capture your full desktop, a specific app, or any tab. One click to start - Velo handles the rest and enhances it automatically.
Drop in a raw Loom recording, a Zoom call, or any existing video. Velo rewrites a new script from scratch, generates a polished voiceover, and delivers a video people will actually watch.
Give Velo your PPT and describe what to say. Velo's browser agent opens the deck, follows your instructions, records slide by slide with cursor movements and automated zooms, and builds the final video.
Give Velo a link and tell it what workflow to record. The browser agent requests access, navigates the page, records the full walkthrough, and hands you a finished video - no screen time required.

Clueso or Velo: Which one should you choose
The use cases genuinely overlap in one specific scenario: making a polished product walkthrough from a screen recording. Outside of that, they go in different directions.
Good for you if
- Work at a B2B SaaS company and need to produce product videos AND written help docs from the same recording
- Need to translate your videos and documentation into multiple languages at once
- Have a team of 2–10 people all creating product content and need a shared workspace
- Require enterprise-grade security - SOC 2, ISO 27001, SSO - for your video content
- Need to export in multiple formats (Markdown, HTML, SRT) for embedding into your knowledge base
- Want to publish directly to YouTube or embed videos into your help center with code
- Your budget is sized for a team product, not an individual tool
Velo is a better fit if you...
- Want a polished video but don't need simultaneous written documentation
- Want your AI avatar to present on camera so you don't have to record yourself every time
- Have a raw Zoom call, old Loom, or any existing video you want to completely rebuild into something shareable
- Want to paste a URL and have Velo record the entire workflow for you, hands-free
- Make more than product docs: sales pitches, YouTube content, courses, onboarding videos, demo reels
- Are a solo founder, creator, marketer, or educator - not a product team at a SaaS company
- Can't justify $150/month for a documentation tool but need great-looking videos for $20/month

Honestly, a pretty magical experience.

Velo is soo cool .. as a founder I've been using a bunch of the products and always thought there was a gap ..y'all solved it ! Made a short explainer video, hope I got it right.
Bengeekly
Founder @ ProdShot
I used Velo to make a video and I enjoyed building it. the process is straight forward, and the initial result is already good. What I liked the most is also what bothers me a bit. I will be launching tomorrow, I might use the video on my launch.
Elias
AI Educator
I tried Velo today after wasting hours re-recording a 5-minute video message. The video message shouldn't be harder than building the product. If you've ever re-recorded the same video 10 times… you'll get why this matters.
Matheus Santos
Full-Stack Developer
I gave Velo a quick try and was genuinely impressed, within minutes I had a polished video with smooth animations and a really solid overall result. As someone who’s not experienced in video editing, I found the process intuitive and easy to follow, which is a big win.

This looks like exactly what I've been looking for, so I'm definitely trying it today.

Super clean product congrats! Genuinely nails a real pain, can't wait to use.

A key idea behind Velo is that you don't need to get the recording perfect; the system restructures the content into a final video. This reflects a broader shift from manually recording and editing to generating structured video content through AI workflows.
Don't limit yourself to just communicate through product demos.
Share anything as video messages, instantly.
