FAQ

FAQ

One supporting sentence with short explanation.

The agent requires a Loom video URL, a Gemini-2.5 API key, and a Slack connection. It can optionally accept a specific question or prompt to guide Gemini's response. The process begins when a Loom URL is provided, whether manually or via an automated trigger like email. Access to the Loom video must be available to the agent, either publicly or via authorized credentials. The Slack destination is configurable to fit team workflows.

The agent uses the Loom API to fetch video data and download the video content. It supports publicly accessible Loom videos and those with proper access permissions. If access is restricted, you must provide credentials or a shareable link that the agent can use. The system handles standard video formats delivered by Loom and uses the video payload for Gemini-2.5 analysis.

Yes. Gemini-2.5 is the reasoning engine that analyzes the video data against your question and returns a structured answer. The agent coordinates the data flow, handles retries, and formats Gemini's response. If Gemini is unavailable, the agent logs the incident and can retry after a backoff period. You can configure fallback prompts or prompts that guide the analysis in different ways.

Results are posted to a configured Slack channel or thread for immediate visibility. The message includes a concise answer, key takeaways, and optional follow-up questions. Each run is logged with metadata for auditing and traceability. If desired, the Slack message can include a link to the original Loom video and a summary of the prompt used.

Yes. You can supply a default prompt or a specific question for each Loom video. The agent also supports auto-prompts like Describe this video in detail. Prompts can be adjusted per workflow or per team, enabling targeted insights for different use cases. The system preserves prompts for repeatability and auditing.

The agent processes data within your configured environment and uses your Gemini API and Slack credentials. Access is limited to authorized keys, and logs are stored with timestamps for traceability. Data is retained according to your policy settings, and you can disable persistence to meet privacy requirements. Regular audits and access controls apply to the stored metadata.

Typical latency from Loom URL to Slack post is a few minutes, depending on video size and Gemini response time. The agent supports retries with backoff in case of transient API failures. Rate limits depend on your Loom, Gemini, and Slack configurations. Complex videos may take longer to process, but the system prioritizes delivering a coherent, readable answer.
